The peak of sale season may already be in our rearview mirrors, but really, I find that I get the best shopping done at the very end of the summer, when prices are the lowest and you really have to dig through virtual sale bins in order to score something big. Personally, I’ve been monituring the discount scene for weeks, waiting for the best possible moment to attack those items on my wishlist that I could never afford at full price. And now, with leftover clearance pieces and Labor-Day Weekend deals teaming up, I’ve reached that perfect last window before all of those beautiful red slashes disappear. 

As we speak, a handful of sales are going on. There’s the 25%-off Matches code that you have to spend $300 to qualify for (which is not a hard feat given how elite the selection is) and a secret Tory Burch sale that everyone in the NYC Who What Wear office has been whispering about. Net-a-Porter’s doling out an extra 20% off of already marked-down pieces from the summer, while J.Crew’s at 40% off almost everything on its site. Suffice to say, I know what I’m going to be doing on this Friday afternoon before the holiday weekend: shopping. 

Scroll down for some of the most spectacular sale finds of the summer.  

This top is yours for 25% off when you spend $300 at Matches and use the code MATCHES25 at checkout.

An LBD for every occasion, including weddings and holiday parties.

These brown, suede sandals are perfect for that in-between fall and summer time of year. 

Lady jackets are arguably the biggest specific clothing trend of the season.

The code SHOPNOW unlocks a stellar 40%-off discount at J.Crew, but it won’t last forever.

I own these in two colors and cannot wait to buy up the other three that Agolde makes. If you like baggy, low-rise jeans, these are the ones to get. 

So delicate and ’90s chic.

I’m not usually one for “fall colors,” but this two-tone skirt makes them appear fresh and entirely un-boring. 

A big tote for every one of your vacation plans this year. 

It’s giving Khaite and Ferragamo vibes. No complaints here. 

The perfect travel pants—found. 

If you love the quiet-luxury trend, you’ll adore these suede sandals.

Ahhh perfect.

An easy cardigan to make a regular staple in your fall wardrobe. 

Love, love, love. 

This dress comes in three other stunning colors, all of which are on sale right now. 

These frilly shoulders are truly divine. 

This hourglass tunic has me in the greatest of chokeholds. I’m going to the store today to try it on.

A pretty sandal—period. 

This baby-pink tee is simply too adorable not to own. 

I’ll be wearing my white, A-line skirts straight through summer to fall, thanks to inspiration from Prada’s fall 2023 collection. 

If you want me to buy something, name it after Jackie Kennedy. That’s all it takes.

If you don’t ever know what to wear to work, this is one dress you’ll be able to count on every day. 

I know Khaite’s cashmere sweaters are very pricey, but as someone who owns two of them, they are 100% worth the price. I’ve never felt anything like them. 

A great dress to juxtapose with rugged moto boots.

I’m naming this season clutch girl fall. 

I do, in fact, own this top in all three colors.

*Always saying yes to a wide-leg trouser.*
