With summer in full swing, finding outfits that balance comfort and style can make all the difference in how you feel each day. I’m so excited to share these effortless summer style finds at Nordstrom Rack for women over 50, each chosen for their flattering fits, easy styling, and timeless appeal. Whether you’re heading out for brunch, running errands, or enjoying a quiet afternoon at home, these pieces are designed to help you look polished and feel confident through every summer moment.
One of the things I love most about shopping at Nordstrom Rack is discovering beautiful, high-quality pieces from brands I know and trust, at prices that make updating my wardrobe feel like a treat instead of a splurge.
This post is sponsored by Nordstrom Rack, but the
opinions expressed are my own.
Almost every piece I’m wearing in today’s post, from the airy linen shirts to the comfortable sandals, is from Eileen Fisher, a brand known for timeless designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Finding Eileen Fisher at Nordstrom Rack means you can enjoy luxurious fabrics, flattering fits, and sustainable quality without paying full price. It’s one of my favorite ways to build a wardrobe of staples that will last season after season, and I always check their new arrivals to see what gems I can scoop up before they’re gone.
Casual Chic Denim Look for Everyday Summer Outings
This look is relaxed yet polished, perfect for days when you want to feel comfortable but still look like you put in a little effort. Whether it’s a coffee run, lunch with friends, or a casual afternoon out, this outfit makes it easy to feel confident and pulled together.
Mimosa Please Cap Sleeve Sweater
I love how this tongue-in-cheek Mimosa Please Sweater has a soft, pretty color that brightens your outfit without being too bold. The cap sleeves give light coverage for the upper arms, and the lightweight knit stays cool on warm days.
Why It Works:
- Cap sleeves gently cover the upper arms for added confidence.
- Lightweight knit skims over the bust and tummy without clinging.
- Soft drape flatters a variety of body shapes.
Ankle Straight Leg Jeans
These frayed hem Ankle Straight Leg Jeans are the kind you’ll reach for again and again. The ankle-length cut looks modern and fresh, and the medium wash goes with so many tops. They have just enough stretch to stay comfortable while keeping their shape.
Why It Works:
- Straight leg balances wider hips or thighs.
- Mid-rise waistband helps smooth the tummy area.
- Stretch fabric moves with you without sagging.
Effortless Linen Layers for Classic Warm-Weather Style
Crisp and cool, this linen look is a summer staple that feels easy and elegant. Perfect for brunch on a sunny patio or exploring your favorite spots around town, it’s a classic combination that never goes out of style.
Classic Organic Linen Button-Up Shirt
This Organic Linen Button-Up Shirt feels breathable and light, with a relaxed cut that drapes nicely. You can wear it tucked, half-tucked, or open over a tank for different looks. I love this navy color, but it is also available in a grey version.
Why It Works:
- Natural linen is breathable and keeps hot flashes at bay.
- Relaxed fit provides easy coverage for the midsection.
- Longer hem helps conceal the tummy area when worn untucked.
Organic Linen Ankle Wide Leg Pants
These Wide Leg Linen Pants are airy and comfortable, moving beautifully with every step. The ankle-length keeps them modern while the flowy linen fabric ensures you stay cool.
Why It Works:
- Wide leg cut helps balance wider hips or thighs.
- Elastic waistband or relaxed fit offers comfort without pinching.
- Lightweight linen avoids clinging to problem areas.
Timeless Gingham Dress for Playful Summer Outings
This outfit is fresh and cheerful, perfect for days when you want to feel lighthearted and feminine. Think picnics in the park, visits to the farmers market, or gathering with friends for iced tea on the porch. It is a one-and-done outfit that always looks appropriate.
Gingham Cap Sleeve Organic Linen Shirtdress
This Organic Linen Shirtdress has a playful gingham pattern that feels timeless and summery. The cap sleeves add comfortable coverage, and the shirtdress cut is flattering without clinging. You can button it up or leave a couple undone for a more casual look. This is the color grey I mentioned earlier, and the dress is also available in the navy version.
Why It Works:
- Cap sleeves give arm coverage while staying breezy.
- A-line silhouette glides over the tummy and hips.
- Lightweight linen keeps you cool and comfortable.
Khaki Demo Leather Sandals:
These Khaki Leather Sandals are comfortable right out of the box with a cushioned footbed that makes long days on your feet a breeze. The khaki shade is a neutral classic that pairs easily with any outfit. I have become a HUGE fan of Eileen Fisher shoes! I’ll admit, I was surprised that their shoes are so comfortable.
Why It Works:
- Cushioned sole provides all-day comfort for sensitive feet.
- Neutral color elongates the look of your legs.
- Adjustable straps ensure a secure fit.
Breezy Shift Dress and Cardigan for Polished Comfort
Soft and relaxed, this outfit is perfect for those days when you want to feel comfortable but still look put together. It’s a great choice for casual dinners, summer church services, or an afternoon spent catching up with friends.
Jersey Shift Dress
This Jersey Shift Dress is so easy to wear, thanks to its soft jersey knit that skims over your shape. The classic shift silhouette keeps things simple and flattering.
Why It Works:
- Shift style that can be worn alone or layered.
- Soft, stretchy fabric feels comfortable all day.
- Falls at a length that offers good coverage for the thighs.
Open Stitch Longline Organic Linen Cardigan
Adding this Longline Organic Linen Cardigan brings light texture and gentle coverage. The open stitch keeps it breathable, and the longline cut adds an elongating effect. This is the star of the outfit, and can be worn with jeans, shorts, or anything else you can think of.
Why It Works:
- Longline design creates a slimming vertical line.
- Covers upper arms with breathable fabric.
- Adds dimension and interest without bulk.
Vibrant V-Neck Dress for Chic Summer Evenings
Bright, fresh, and fun, this outfit feels perfect for outdoor dinners, summer vacations, or any evening you want to feel a little more special. The vibrant color brings energy and confidence.
V-Neck Jersey Tank Dress – Marina, and Straw Tote Bag
This marina blue V-Neck Jersey Tank Dress is the star of the outfit. The V-neckline flatters and elongates, while the soft jersey fabric moves easily with you. It’s comfortable without sacrificing style.
Why It Works:
- V-neck draws the eye upward, elongating the neckline.
- Empire waist or subtle shaping helps define the waist.
- Smooth jersey style that drapes nicely.
I added the same Linen Cardigan to the outfit to cover my upper arms. The structured tote like this one holds all of your essentials while adding a chic finish to your look. It’s roomy without feeling bulky, perfect for everyday life.
The structured Tote Bag holds all your essentials while adding a chic finish to your look. It’s roomy, a nice weight, and perfect for everyday life.
Why It Works:
- Structured silhouette avoids adding bulk to the hip area.
- Spacious interior holds essentials without overstuffing.
- Sturdy straps stay comfortable on your shoulder.
