There’s always something about summer that puts me in a serious shopping mood. Well, it’s also my favorite season, so that’s definitely a factor too. But during this time of year, there are tons of summer sales going on, and you can score some truly amazing pieces to add to your warm-weather wardrobe at a fraction of the price you would’ve paid for them just a few weeks ago. Here, I’ve narrowed my search down to three of my go-to retailers: Shopbop, Nordstrom, and J. Crew.
From Levi’s staples and everyday basics to structural tops and crochet designs, this list includes a bevy of must-buy finds no matter what you’re looking for. There are also trendy mesh flats, white skirts, and statement sunglasses that are made for the hot temps ahead. Below, I’ve rounded up 45 items that would all—will all—find a place in my closet, and yours is next. Going into a new season is a perfect time to make some refreshes to your outfits, so here’s hoping you find some inspiration in these major sales. You might be surprised by how steep some of the discounts are, so keep scrolling to snag them before items sell out.
