Boots and Shoes

Jeans
"If you've been thinking about updating your denim, now's the time. I'm loving all the straight-leg, wide-leg, cuffed, and slouchy options—there's truly something for everyone in this year's sale." — Koszarek
Versatile Dresses
"There are so many dresses on sale—it's a category worth shopping. I saw many buy-now, wear-now styles, along with easy options for work and every day." — Koszarek
Coats
"Coats are one of the largest categories in the sale. I'm shopping for styles that will pull an outfit together, like a pea coat, a trench, a longline coat, and leather jackets." — Koszarek
Navy, Brown, and Berry Tones
"I found the trending colors this year to be navy, brown, and berry tones—rich shades that feel like fall and are great colors to build your wardrobe around." — Koszarek
Handbags
