Stealth Is Wealth—32 Low-Key, Luxe-Looking Finds That Cost Half the Price You'd Think

Hello, summer. With Memorial Day weekend and, by extension, MDW sales coming in hot, I know just what I need to make this summer the best yet: a new wardrobe. With all of our favorite retailers dipping deep into discounts over the next few days, building out an expensive-looking, chic array of clothes to take with you everywhere this summer has never looked better.
Nordstrom, Madewell, and Shopbop have some of the best-looking pieces on sale right now—from breezy linen pants to adorable leather sandals—with some even coming in at well under $100. Scroll on to shop all the best items from my favorite Memorial Day weekend sales. Trust me. You won't want to miss them.
Nordstrom
Nordstrom kicked off its major Half-Yearly Sale right around Memorial Day weekend, and some of our favorite brands, like WAYF, Madewell, and Open Edit, are up to 60% off. While the sale goes on until June 2, the best deals are already flying off the shelves. Stock up while you can.
Madewell
Madewell fans, rejoice. The retailer is joining in on the fun Memorial Day weekend sales this year. Through May 28, Madewell is offering up to 25% off select sale styles with the code LONGWEEKEND at checkout.
Shopbop
Shopbop's Memorial Day weekend sale is not to be missed. The e-tailer is doling out discounts up to 50% off on designer pieces and contemporary womenswear. Brands such as Reformation, Anine Bing, Dragon Diffusion, and Jenni Kayne are dropping below their usual price points. I've already gotten my hands on a few of these, and truthfully, I suggest you do the same!
