There's something about summer that puts me in a shopping mood. Well, it's also my favorite season, so that's definitely a factor too. But there are tons of summer sales this time of year, and you can score some 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. Below, I've narrowed my search to three of my go-to retailers: Shopbop, Nordstrom, and J. Crew.
From staple Levi's and everyday basics to structural tops and crochet designs, this list includes a bevy of must-buy finds no matter your style or needs. 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 will find a place in my closet (maybe a few will find their way into yours too). Going into a new season is a perfect time to refresh your outfits, so here's hoping you find some inspiration in these sales. You might be surprised at how steep some of the discounts are, so keep scrolling to snag them before items sell out.
