It takes some thought to appropriately get dressed for work during the summer months. The commute is hot, but the office is cold. So, you want to be comfortable during both portions of the day while still looking professional. The good news is that Nordstrom just slashed prices on a bunch of work-friendly clothing this weekend.

The easiest way to dress for a workday is with a summer-friendly dress, but a smart pairing of a loose blouse and relaxed trousers is a classic, too. To ensure you’re not dripping in sweat by the time you reach the office, we focused on lightweight materials and flowy silhouettes. As the cherry on top, all these picks are at least 30% off.
