You can’t not have a black flowy maxi dress for the summertime—it’s just such an easy piece to throw on and style a million different ways. I spotted this one at Nordstrom and knew it belonged in my closet ASAP. The tiered ruffle detailing not only sets this long black maxi dress apart from all others, but it also makes it a perfect option for a summer wedding guest dress! With some great heels and the right jewelry, you can instantly elevate the look and make this a black formal dress for summer.

However, if you’re wanting it for more everyday looks, pairing it with these $70 sandals (I have them in three colors!) plus a fantastic, eye-grabbing clutch like this fully beaded one from Cult Gaia creates a chic summertime vibe for date night, brunch, or a backyard party. Top it all off with a fabulous pair of Le Specs sunglasses, and you’ve created the kind of look you can only find at Nordstrom.

Check out these summer dresses from Nordstrom under $180!
