    As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that the best summer outfits rely on the basics. I’m talking about breezy separates that I can turn to when I’m unsure of what to wear. Luckily, one of my all-time favorite summer wardrobe essentials is on sale at Nordstrom right now.

    I already own the Caslon Drawstring Straight Leg Linen Pants in black, so I’m taking advantage of Nordstrom’s current sale to buy them in a new color. They originally retail for $70 and are now priced at just $42 right now, making them one of the best under-$100 finds in the entire selection. I am, in short, obsessed.

    These pants are the backbone of my summer wardrobe.

    I was first introduced to an affordable Nordstrom find last summer when I tested some of the best pairs of linen pants for a story I was working on. I was immediately impressed by how soft they were, despite being made from 100 percent linen fabric. They quickly became a go-to in my rotation, and I’ve worn them countless times since. Because they're so versatile, they're also a must-have in my vacation wardrobe.

    So, if you have enough linen pants in your collection, keep scrolling—I also found chic linen shirts to wear to the office, linen shorts that double as the best bikini cover-up, and an under-$50 summer dress that I have a feeling my mom would love.
