24 Vacation-Ready Picks From Shopbop and Nordstrom Rack's Sales
Including cover-ups, beach bags, swimwear, and more.
With warmer weather finally here, It's time to start thinking about my summer wardrobe. I've planned a few weekend trips over the next few months, and my beachwear needs an upgrade before I take off. Luckily, Shopbop and Nordstrom Rack are running sales on trending swimwear styles—and other summer staples—at a significant discount.
The sale sections at both retailers are full of vacation-worthy outfit essentials, like breezy linen pants to lounge around in, beach bags, and a selection of swimwear cover-ups for the beach or the poolside bar for happy hour.
I spent the afternoon scrolling through the best pieces from both sales. Keep scrolling for all the necessary details and shop for these editor-approved picks.
