The older I get, the more I rely on basics, especially when it comes to building the easiest summer outfits. Breezy, lightweight separates are the only way I can stay comfortable and stylish in the sweltering heat. Thankfully for me and my summer capsule wardrobe, some of the very best fashion deals of Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale are linen finds.

For starters, the linen pants Marie Claire's fashion commerce editor, Julia Marzovilla, calls "the best thing she owns" are on sale for just $49. If that wasn't enough to entice you to snag the linen staple, she also dubbed them the softest option on the market. "They’re casual enough to be worn with a T-shirt, but I also wore them to a formal dinner with my family, and no one batted an eye," she gushes.
