In a few weeks, I’ll be on a white-sand beach in Majorca, Spain, sipping Aperol spritzes and indulging in what the internet calls the Euro summer aesthetic—think: low-effort linen sets, flowing maxi skirts, and Pucci printed silk scarves knotted into sarongs. The desired style is a mix of aspirational and attainable—somewhere in between the jet-setting socialites Slim Aarons photographed in the ‘60s and a well-prepared ‘Dad on vacation’ sightseeing in comfortable walking sandals.
Fortunately for me and anyone else hunting for affordable vacation outfits that look triple what they actually cost, every item I want to wear when soaking up the Spanish sun is currently heavily discounted for the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The retailer's once-a-year blowout, which officially began on July 12 and runs through August 3, features vacay staples like comfy-cute sneakers, polka-dot sundresses, and trendy swimwear, all up to 70 percent off. It's almost as if Nordstrom knew that I spent the bulk of my vacation budget on airfare and Airbnbs and wants me to achieve Euro summer style without accruing credit card debt!
