I Refuse to Check a Bag This Summer—so I'm Only Packing These Capsule Wardrobe Basics That Work for Any Trip
After too many jet bridges spent gate-checking a bulging roller bag and one too many hours waiting at a luggage carousel, I've officially downsized my overpacking ways, at least for my trips to Europe. This summer, I challenged myself to pack smarter, lighter, and more intentionally. The result? A carry-on-friendly capsule wardrobe that's stylish enough for rooftop dinners in Barcelona, breathable enough for sweaty museum hops in Florence, and polished enough for feeling like a local in Paris. Built around versatile silhouettes, natural fabrics, and neutral tones that play well together, this edit is proof that less really is more, especially when every piece earns its place. Below is the wardrobe I'll be wearing on repeat from now through September, no matter the destination. Bon voyage, baggage fees! Credit: Quince Credit: Amazon Credit: Credit: Old Navy Linen dresses are my ultimate travel lifesaver. Whether I'm sweating it out chasing my daughter through the crowded streets of Florence or dressed up for a captain's dinner on a Mediterranean cruise, they keep me comfortable and looking good. The breathable fabric lets my skin breathe during those hot, busy days, and the natural texture gives off that effortlessly chic vibe that feels perfectly at home across Europe. Plus, they are slightly more resistant to wrinkling, which is a game changer for people who are constantly a bit of a stressed-out hot mess (like me). Credit: Rothys $149 $119 at Nordstrom View on Credit: Amazon Credit: Birdies Credit: Vionic $130 $60 at Amazon View on When my itinerary involves everything from racing through airport security to wandering cobblestone streets and making business dinner appointments, my shoes have to be up for the challenge. I'll never forget sprinting to catch an almost-missed flight in Madrid, and my Rothy's slip-ons saved me at security, letting me slide them off and on in seconds without fumbling with laces or buckles. Generally speaking, slip-on shoes are lightweight and easy to pack, yet comfortable enough to carry me through long days of sightseeing. Best of all, their sleek design means I never have to sacrifice style for practicality, whether I'm darting through terminals, strolling historic city centers, or stepping into a cozy neighborhood trattoria; these shoes effortlessly transition from day to night without literally no fuss. Credit: Abercrombie & Fitch Credit: Amazon Credit: Buck Mason Credit: Amazon Matching sets have become my entire identity, and it's because they're so darn easy (to both wear and style). They take the guesswork out of packing and dressing, lightweight and breathable, they're perfect for sunny afternoons wandering markets or casual dinners in a new city. I wore my Buck Mason linen set while strolling through Paris and actually got compliments from locals (it was all in French, but she was smiling). As an American, I took that as the ultimate win. For beach days or poolside lounging, a set that doubles as a swim cover-up and a statement piece means less to pack and more versatility. And when it's time to relax, cozy yet chic matching loungewear keeps me comfortable without sacrificing style during downtime or travel days. Credit: Summersalt Credit: Amazon Credit: Quince Credit: Athleta When I'm packing for Europe—or literally anywhere these days—the oversized shirt is non-negotiable. It's light, breathable, and perfect for those unpredictable days during travel when you start with a morning museum visit and end up at a sunset terrace. I love wearing it unbuttoned over a linen dress for that effortlessly cool, layered look that's so quintessentially European. It's also my go-to for breezy mornings along the Seine or wandering cobblestone streets in Rome. Plus, it doubles as a beach cover-up, which is a double win in my opinion. Credit: Quince Credit: Nordstrom Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon As you can probably tell, linen is one of my favorite fabrics for summer, and there are a lot of reasons why. It's an ultra-breathable fabric that keeps me cool when I'm running around the sun-soaked cities of Barcelona, Santorini, and Rome. I also love how linen pants are endlessly easy to style. Although I often pair them with a tucked-in tee or an oversized shirt, they're just as cute with a breezy silk blouse or cropped cardi. As someone trying to live out of a carry-on, I also adore how they fold down small and get that coveted worn-in, wrinkled-in-the-best-way look, so they're a dream to pack. Credit: Tuckernuck Credit: Vineyard Vines View on Credit: Amazon Credit: Quince I've always loved dresses—maybe a little too much, considering I have over 125 in my closet. But when it comes to packing light for Europe, a floral maxi dress always makes the cut. It's effortlessly versatile: easy to dress down with sandals for wandering art galleries or dress up with heels and delicate gold jewelry for a night out in Italy. The ones I love move with me, and fit and flatter, even after an extra plate of pasta or extra glass of wine. The floral prints just feel right everywhere, from the lavender fields of Provence to the vibrant streets of Lisbon, and the lightweight fabric keeps me cool in the hottest temperatures. Plus, since it's all in one piece, it takes up less space in my suitcase than a full outfit would, making packing way easier. Credit: Vuori View on Credit: Quince Credit: Amazon Credit: A&F Like jeans, tailored pants are one of those pieces that instantly upgrade any look, but they don't add bulk to an already-crammed carry-on (or weigh it down). What I love most about these wardrobe staples is how easy they are to dress up or down. Throw on a crisp white tee or crop top for a casual daytime vibe, or pair them with a sleek vest and delicate gold jewelry for something sharper when you want to turn heads. They strike the perfect balance between polished and relaxed. Plus, they're seriously on-trend right now: clean lines, high-waisted fits, and a modern silhouette that's both timeless and fresh. And, as an almost 40-year-old who works alongside that generation, a nod from them always makes my day. Best of all, tailored pants help me blend right in with locals in Italy and France, where effortless 'clean girl' chic is basically a lifestyle. Credit: Gap Credit: Amazon Credit: Quince Credit: lululemon I'm an old lady in the sense that I always need a cardigan (or a sweater). Especially in Europe, where it goes from 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the day to 55 degrees Fahrenheit at night, depending on where you are. These cute crop styles give me just the right amount of warmth without feeling bulky, perfect for layering over dresses or pairing with jeans for a casual but put-together look. I love how the shorter length keeps things modern and flattering, so I never feel swallowed up by fabric. Plus, it's lightweight and folds easily into my suitcase, but is still cozy enough to keep me comfortable on planes when it's often Arctic cold. Credit: Quince Credit: Tuckernuck Credit: lululemon Credit: Amazon Whenever I'm traveling abroad, a crossbody bag is non-negotiable, and not just for the hands-free convenience but for the added security against pickpockets. When in Paris with my mom, the crossbody bag was what saved my mom from losing her entire bag (wallet and passport included) to thieves. I love how these bags work with just about any outfit, whether I'm in tailored pants and a blouse or a breezy linen dress. Despite their compact size and minimal suitcase footprint, they surprise me by fitting all the essentials: wallet, phone, sunglasses, and even my small Sony mirrorless camera. Love a great deal?

Don't miss Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale with deals on Hoka, Dyson, Le Creuset and more
It seems Nordstrom had a bit of shopping envy, because amid the dozens of Memorial Day sales rolling out ahead of the long weekend, the retailer just launched its Half Yearly Sale. The event only happens twice a year, prompting deals across every category, including home, beauty and fashion deals on men's and women's clothing. So, if you've been waiting to take the plunge on top-name brands like Skims, Hoka, Birkenstock and more, now's your chance. I've curated the 20 best Nordstrom deals below. Hoka Women's Arahi 7 Running Shoes These Hoka running shoes proved to be some of the most stable trainers in the sneaker brand's lineup, according to our testing. The pair is designed to prevent your feet from rolling and now, they're just shy of $100. Madewell The Brynn Long Shorts A solid pair of denim shorts is hard to come by, but our editors trust in Madewell. These offer a relaxed, mid-length fit that won't stifle you in the summer heat. It also has a raw-edge hem to bring a casual touch to ensembles. Lands' End Scoop Neck High Leg Tugless Tank One-Piece Swimsuit If you've been looking for a one-piece swimsuit that you can rely on time after time, this option from Lands' End might be the one. It features adjustable straps and a stay-put design for all your summer activities. Rothy's Women's Casual Clogs I've been eyeing these Rothy's for quite some time amid the rising popularity of clogs. They bring a relaxed sophistication to linen trousers, and I envision them making great house slippers. Now Nordstrom has them for $40 off. Skims Fits Everybody Lace T-Shirt Bra Two of my favorite bras are from Skims because they offer a seamless look under tees. They also fit true to size, which is half the battle when it comes to bra shopping. The lace-detailed pick comes in three colors — all 31% off. Read our review Tommy Bahama Boracay Chino Shorts A cross between laidback and polished, these chino men's shorts from the coastal-inspired brand are down to just $60. Shop them in three on-sale colors, including a versatile navy, khaki and grey. Hoka Men's Mach 6 Running Shoes Marathon season is upon us. Your perfect running shoe comes in the form of the Mach 6. We dubbed it the best for training as Hoka's lightest and most responsive shoe yet. It offers great traction and a breathable mesh upper. All Saints Aubrey Ribbed Polo When brunches or birthday parties roll around, dress for the occasion with this nice polo from All Saints. It comes in a muted grey, green and blue color that matches well with plain trousers and shorts. Zella Performance Run Shorts Hit all your workout goals with these running shorts. With all five colors on sale, you might as well stock up on extras while they're up to 65% off. It also features hidden zipper pockets to store your keys. Vans Kessler Checkerboard Short Sleeve Woven Button-Up Shirt Bring a playful touch to your summer wardrobe with this dressy shirt. It adopts a subtle checkerboard pattern synonymous with the brand. The light color and loose fit ensure comfort during breezy days ahead. Le Creuset Signature 8-Quart Oval Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven Every home cook should have a Dutch oven, and one of the more premier brands, Le Creuset, is marked down by 36%. It comes in 12 discounted colors, so you can match it perfectly to your kitchen decor and hardware. Hydro Flask 40-Ounce All Around Travel Tumbler in Holiday Punch Hydration is important year-round, but especially while you're spending more time in the sun. This punchy water bottle from Hydro Flask brings a much-needed pop of color to picnic or beach setups, and we found it for just $28. Boll & Branch Waffle Weave Organic Cotton Duvet Cover and Sham Set My favorite sheet set hails from the bedding brand Boll & Branch. I imagine its waffle duvet cover and shams are equally impressive. The steep discount of $122 is also quite undeniable if you're hoping to swap in more airy linens. Parachute Soft Stitch Organic Cotton Pillow Shams, Set of 2 Break up drab bedding with the texture from these quilted pillow shams. My entire duvet set is from Parachute, and I can attest that it certainly brings a luxe touch to rooms. This duo is down by 65% at Nordstrom. Read our review Estelle Colored Glasses Stemless Wineglasses, Set of 6 Don't show up empty-handed to housewarmings or wedding celebrations. This set of six wine glasses makes great Nordstrom gifts, especially while they're half off in transparent yellow, purple and pink. Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum You can never go wrong with a vanilla-scented perfume. It transitions easily from summer to fall to winter. This one from Tom Ford blends floral, almond and sandalwood notes in a golden bottle. Dyson Limited Edition Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer in Jasper Plum Equipped with upgraded attachments and intelligent temperature-controlling features that help protect the hair and scalp, the Nural is a step up from the Supersonic. It's typically pricier than the OG, but no longer with this Nordstrom deal. Read our review Benefit Cosmetics Big Time Brow Minis Set The first-ever brow staple in my makeup bag was the Benefit Gimme Brow. Fill and set brows while this bundled set unites two fan-favorites from the lineup for 25% off. Armani Beauty Acqua di Gio Parfum The men in my life have used this Armani cologne for years, always eager to see it at Christmas time. With Father's Day coming up, it makes the perfect gift for a loved one. Snag it for even less while discounted at Nordstrom. Mac Cosmetics Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Liquid Foundation Most of us don't want a foundation that feels heavy during humid summers. Luckily, this lightweight serum-like foundation drops its tinted pigment onto your skin and blends into a natural-looking finish. While our deals team is elbows deep in Memorial Day deals, that hasn't distracted us from seeing all the can't-miss sales at other retailers like Nordstrom. Its Half Yearly Sale always falls on our radar because of its ample savings across categories. After all, it only comes around twice a year, and the first one already happened in January. Part two brings up to 60% off new markdowns through June 1. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience. Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo source the best deals of the day each morning to curate one-offs and retailer-specific roundups on the top products to shop, searching everything from coveted tech essentials to Memorial Day clothing deals.

These Comfy, Travel-ready Clogs Sold Out 7 Times—and They Just Got an Airy Summer Upgrade
Rothy's has taken the world by storm in recent years. The brand has sprung into comfy shoe stardom with a wide variety of comfortable flats, stylish sandals, and more. One of its most popular styles is the Casual Clog, a laid-back mule with an effortless appearance and slip-on functionality. In fact, the stylish clogs are so popular that they've sold out seven times. While the original Casual Clogs are made of merino wool, Rothy's just launched an upgraded style for summer. The comfy shoes are now available in a breathable hemp blend, making them the perfect, airy summer travel shoe. $159 at Nordstrom $159 at Available in three neutral shades, these shoes are the perfect laid-back style to enhance your travel wardrobe. The V-shaped upper elongates the clog's silhouette, so rather than a heavy, chunky clog, these shoes have a sleeker appearance. However, thanks to the knit fabric and round toe, this shoe still has a cozy vibe that we love for travel days. The clogs have a contoured footbed designed to provide arch support, and one reviewer raved about how the shoes molded to their feet within a day, calling them 'the most comfortable shoes' they own. Shoppers with high arches, flat feet, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and more foot concerns all approve of these shoes, with one reviewer raving, 'You could literally stand in these all day.' $159 at Nordstrom $159 at Looking cute is one thing, but withstanding the trials and tribulations of travel is another beast entirely. Luckily, these shoes provide more than just style. They're also durable, with a thick rubber outsole that's ribbed to provide traction. Plus, these clogs can even be thrown in the washer (although the brand admits the color may slightly fade). As Rothy's puts it, these shoes are made to 'last for the long haul.' The roomy design makes them the perfect choice for long flights—and it doesn't hurt that they'll be easy to slip off at security. One reviewer said these shoes were 'comfortable right out of the box as well as on a nine-hour flight,' and plenty of other reviewers attest that these shoes provide instant relief from foot pain. $159 at Nordstrom $159 at Pair these clogs with jeans, sweatpants, shorts, or dresses—they can complement a wide variety of travel outfits. Thanks to the breathable fabric, roomy fit, and cushy support, you'll be comfortable from the plane to your warm-weather destination. In the market for even more comfy, stylish travel shoes? Keep reading for more best-selling styles at Rothy's, starting at $99. $139 at Nordstrom $139 at $159 at Nordstrom $159 at $99 at Nordstrom $99 at Love a great deal?
