I Like to Buy My Clothes on Sale If I Can—the Best Items Are at These Stores
I am such a sale shopper. You too? Wonderful. When I’m shopping, in addition to scoping the new arrivals, I’ll often cruise through the sale sections of my favorite stores first to see if I can find any treasures. On that note, I thought I’d round up a few of the current stores I turn to first for sale shopping. The said retailers often have some of the best items on offer.
Below, you’ll uncover a range of discounted pieces at some of my favorite stores like Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, and Shopbop. In reference to the actual items, you’ll find everything from elevated basics to standout shoe styles to gorgeous accessories that could take your wardrobe to the next level. Keep scrolling for a ton of on-sale shopping inspiration.
Nordstrom
While Nordy has big sale moments throughout the year (including the recent Half-Yearly Sale), the general new-markdowns section always has a solid offering of items.
Shopbop
If I'm craving a special treat from one of my favorite brands, Shopbop will basically always have something fun in the sale section. The retailer often has other noteworthy sales throughout the season.
Net-a-Porter/Mr Porter
So Net-a-Porter and Mr Porter don't necessarily have a consistent sale section, but when the retailers do launch their sales (the summer sales are currently in motion), they're good. Like, really good.
Mango
If I'm on the hunt for forward finds that don't have super-expensive price tags, Mango (and its sale section) is always a great stop.
Italist
Italist has an amazing selection of designer items at great prices. It's a great resource if you're looking for an investment-worthy item. The entire site is basically a constant flow of top-notch discounted products.
The Outnet
I also consistently scroll through The Outnet for fantastic deals. The retailer actually just launched a men's assortment (yes!), so I basically browse the site daily now.
Next, check out more on-sale items to consider for the season.
