This is the time of year when, while it’s still warm, we can see what’s coming and prepare. Early markdowns and European sale opportunities mean you can score boots and coats before the rush—think sharp wool coats at 30% off or shearling-trimmed puffers at half price. Knee-high boots that will be impossible to find in your size come November are stacked online at 40% off. Acting now turns the hunt for cold-weather staples into a strategy rather than a scramble.

The Manolo Blahnik sample sale drew lines starting at 2am, with classics priced from $375–$595 and samples from $125, but by late morning most of the best styles were gone — and with long waits, tight shopping windows, and extra checkout lines, the hassle outweighed the rewards for many. The good news? You don’t need to trek to Hell’s Kitchen to score a deal. Net-A-Porter has one of the strongest selections. Just be sure to sort by size to avoid heartbreak. Mytheresa and Saks are offering healthy sale sections too, bringing prices close to sample sale levels without the overnight camping or endless lines.

September always feels like a reset—fresh wardrobes, new routines, and the first hints of fall in the air. It’s the perfect time to step into the new season with styles that transition seamlessly from late summer to crisp autumn days. Saks Fifth Avenue has you covered with the latest arrivals and lots of savings. Through Saturday, September 6, you can  save up to $200 off  with  the code SGSEPSF at checkout. The breakdowns are below:

Spend $250, get $50 off
Spend $500, get $100 off
Spend $750, get $150 off
Spend $1,000, get $200 off

This one’s for the girls. I’m taking a little detour from our usual luxury finds because the Reformation clearance is too good to skip—up to 70% off. Free City sweats and MadHappy hoodies will always be there, but these are the pieces you’ll want for high holiday, internships, and nights when you need something a little more polished. At these prices, Reformation’s  quality is a real win. I should also add that the prices from the Stuart Weizman outlet are very good too. The quality is not the same as what you find at mainline-stores but shoes aren’t meant to last forever. I should also add: the Stuart Weitzman outlet is looking very good right now too. The quality isn’t quite what you’ll find in the mainline stores, but shoes aren’t meant to last forever—and at these prices, it makes sense to fill in wardrobe gaps.
