‘How do I look?’ is always a loaded question. In most cases, the query is posed to seek validation. 

I most recently asked my teenage daughters about an outfit.  The sweatpants brigade, as I’ve come to call them, was not satisfied by dressed-up look. As I started to reconsider the components of my outfit, I raised my eyebrows –as best as I could– turned on my toes, and responded, “I like it, I really don’t care what you think.”

At this moment, I started to wonder if great fashion was a precise compilation of the perfect items or the confidence in that they are presented. Drag queens are famous for their dramatic and often over-the-top outfits but the presentation often projects as fabulous and fierce. Maybe we need to spend more time perfecting our presentation and less time fretting over the individual outfit components.

Speaking of finding great components, DSW is hosting extra markdowns on its Gucci selection. We found Gucci slides for $450 from $790, sneakers are $299 from $790 and slippers are $262 from $750. You can use this size conversion chart if you want to search the men’s shoe department. 

Net-A-Porter is the latest retailer to begin big markdowns on skiwear and winter accessories. I love buying new items at this time of year and keeping them pristine until the Fall. It’s like having a free gift when you finally get to wear it. A Goldbergh black jacket is $525 from $750 and this Perfect Moment puffer is $385 from $550.

We also spotted some great Winter markdowns at Harrods. This Fendi logo puffer is $1455 from $1926 and this zip-up Fendi warmup jacket is $337 from $688. You can check out more winter weather sale items in this blog post.

It seems cliche that this year is very different, but there is no way around it. One thing that seems to be emerging as tradition is the late winter sales, which include great discounts on outerwear and ski gear. This is usually when Moncler has its big markdown but we haven’t seen anything… yet.

This past year was undoubtedly historic. For the first time since WWII, the entire world shared a similar experience. In relation to fashion, there was a seismic shift. Even avid shoppers questioned and deliberated over every purchase regardless of the price tag. 

A lot of our local stores are done with sale season but that the world is big. There is always an alluring reason to shop! Nugnes 1920 is a multi-brand store with several boutiques along the Eastern coast of Italy and they are offering 15% off new Spring and Summer merchandise with the code WELCOME15.

It’s no doubt that the sweats revolution has taken a big bite from denim sales. J Brand is fighting back with a huge blowout sale. You can use this link and the code GETMORE to save 70% off when you purchase three items. That includes all sales items. 

Some standout sale styles include this Highrise Slim Straight that comes to $68 from $288, these leather joggers come to only $119 from nearly $1000, and here are Highrise Boot Cut Leather pants for $89 from nearly $1000. There are also lots of plus-size options and some cool non-denim and non-pants options like this oversized leather shirt jacket. 

Denim trends diligently shift every season. That’s how your favorite pair from last season doesn’t look quite right after a few months. The shift is sometimes subtle but the esthetic can be huge. Skinny jeans, for instance, aren’t necessarily a complete fashion faux pas. You just have to choose the right ones. Avoid styles that look like they are painted on your body or a wash that’s too light. Opt for heavier-weight denim that leaves some room at the ankle. 

At these prices, you can imagine that items are selling fast. We would suggest loading up and checking out fast. Once this sale goes viral all of the popular sizes will be gone fast.
