I Always Find the Best Things on Sale After the Holidays (See Proof)

Let me take you down nostalgia lane for a moment: Imagine yourself as a child. Did anything beat unwrapping gifts around the holiday season? Were you upset after realizing you’d opened all your gifts? While most children found the days following the holiday season to be dreary, I was filled with delight at the prospect of one thing: post-holiday sale shopping. My grandmother and I would devote almost egregious amounts of time at our local mall sorting through the best new sale arrivals first, then heading to our local thrift store to find secondhand gems. While I may not be frequenting a local mall soon, it’s a tradition I’ve kept alive—thanks to some of my favorite e-commerce sites like Net-a-Porter, Nordstrom, and Shopbop.
Every pro shopper knows that post-holiday online sales are the best time to score winter staples, spring-ready pieces, and designer goods all marked down. So I’ve taken it upon myself to scour the digital sale section to find the best 49 fashion finds on sale right now. From trendy luxury pieces to timeless affordable staples, these pieces are the best gift you could ever give yourself.
After spotting our Fashion Director Lauren Eggertsen in this top, it’s been on my shopping wish list for a hot minute.
I own a Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag, and I’m telling you it’s worth every penny.
The first time I spotted this fringe mini handbag, my heart skipped a beat.

Forget stealing from the men’s department now that you’ve found this one.
This Frankie Shop padded T-shirt went viral among the fashion set a while back because of its ultra-flattering padded shoulders.
Prep-inspired pieces are a big trend this spring, so you can’t go wrong getting this pleated skirt.

The contrasting collar on this cardigan has me shook.
Sales are the best time to get designer pieces on sale (like this silk Versace scarf).
Relaxed trousers were one of the biggest trends in 2021, and they’re one of the only things worth bringing into the new year.
Anytime Cult Gaia marks down its handbags, you better believe I’m adding it to my cart.
Dreary winter days got you down? This cutout sweater will inject a little brightness into your day.
What’s better than finding the perfect pair of jeans? Finding them on sale, ofc.
Ganni’s Chelsea boots are a fan-favorite among the fashion set, so buying them on sale isn’t a wrong move at all.
There’s nothing I want more than to snuggle up in these cashmere knit pants for the rest of winter.
Imagine wearing this hat in a cottage. Dreamy, right?
You can’t go wrong investing in good sunglasses for the upcoming warmer months.
With spring just around the corner, you’ll want to start stocking up on statement dresses now.
Check off two spring trends (miniskirts and sport-inspired pieces) in one purchase.
