One of the best times of the year to score discounted fashion gems is here—Labor Day sale season has now started, and I, for one, plan to take complete advantage of the moment. The key is to have a game plan set and ready to go so that you stay focused on the pieces you'll really want to incorporate into your closet now and for many seasons to come. Keeping a list handy of what you have in mind will go a long way along with a great set of discount codes to use at your favorite online stores.
To help with this, I did a deep dive at three stores that are go-tos for fashion editors and the like: Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Madewell. I rounded up a stylish selection of elevated basics, cool jeans, cool flat shoes, standout dresses, and much more. Keep scrolling to shop 33 chic Labor Day sales finds worth having on your radar this season, plus the relevant discount codes to enjoy the stylish savings.
