I Stalked the End-of-Summer Sales—These 30 Discounted Finds Blew Me Away
Summer’s warmth and whimsy are coming to a close to make space for fall—at least when it comes to clothing retailers. While I’ll miss the sun’s heat in the park and enjoying the outdoors without a sweater, the one good thing about saying goodbye to summer is the end-of-summer sales. I’ve had items living in my cart, just itching to click checkout, but I’m a responsible young adult (most of the time), and I waited patiently for these sales to start.
The verdict following my exhaustive search of the end-of-summer sales is that some of the best sale items can be found on retailers like Net-a-Porter and SSENSE for a splurge, and others, such as Madewell, Nordstrom, Revolve, and Shopbop, for more affordable and mid-price-range sales. Most items I found are up to 50% off, including designer pieces. I actually even gasped a few times at the steals I saw. With the new season approaching, I thought I’d give my closet a much-needed zhuzh with pieces that are marked down, and figured you might too. From cocktail attire to basics, keep scrolling to find an item that might fit your wardrobe, splurge on an item or two, or add some elegant pieces to your closet.
