Right now, the store is brimming with discounted closet classics perfect for seasonal transitions — and from top brands like Dolce Vita, Madewell, and Spanx. Snag celebrity-approved staples, like these wide-leg jeans from Rag & Bone that are $92 off. Then, start stockpiling stylish outerwear with lightweight layers from Sam Edelman and Levi’s.

Madewell Kensington Cardigan

As it turns out, one of the summer’s hottest accessories is actually, well, hot. Take a style cue from the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Zoe Saldaña, and Lindsay Lohan by picking up this striped Madewell cardigan to drape over your shoulders during your next outing. Not only will it provide an added layer of warmth when encountering chilly air-conditioned spaces, but it’ll also be ready for when you need a cozy outfit topper come fall.

Rag & Bone Featherweight Logan High-Waist Wide-Leg Jeans

While relaxed wide-leg jeans will always be a smart choice for summer, this pair’s dark, wear-with-anything wash screams “ready for the pumpkin patch.” Throw them on with a blouse or tank top while beating the heat now, then style them with sweaters and cozy layers once temperatures cool.

Dolce Vita Haydee Double-Buckle Mary Jane Mule

If you’ve ever dreamed of wearing Mary Janes year-round — without the summer sweat that comes with closed-toe styles — these slip-on mules might be your match. They’re available in seven on-sale shades and sizes 5 to 13. Shoppers appreciate that their trendy look allows them to stand out from the crowd, and one reviewer called them “comfortable out of the box.”

Levi’s Shrunken ’90s Denim Trucker Jacket

No fall wardrobe is complete without a denim jacket, but this one from Levi’s is cropped enough that you can wear it starting… right about now. Its hip-skimming length could easily be paired with high-waisted jeans, pants, or skirts, and its button side tabs can be adjusted to best fit your figure.

Nordstrom Pima Cotton Blend Crewneck T-Shirt

It doesn’t get more versatile than a plain white T-shirt, and this one from Nordstrom has amassed dozens of perfect ratings for its “beautifully sewn” fabric and “classic shape.” While shoppers note that it’s well-suited for layering under blazers and jackets, it would look equally as good paired with blue jeans.

Spanx AirEssentials Wide-Leg Pants

Take your athleisure game from average to exceptional with these Oprah-approved sweatpants from Spanx that can “easily go from work to errands to lounging,” according to one reviewer. Their wide-leg design is great for added airflow, and their lightweight yet cozy fabric feels “luxurious” on the skin, per a second shopper. Add them to your cart while they’re $37 off, then pick up the matching half-zip while you’re at it.

Sam Edelman Corduroy Trim Rain Jacket

It’s raining, it’s pouring — well, it has been in New York City, at least. Stay dry in style during all of the rainy months to come with this leopard rain jacket that’s complete with a corduroy collar and cuffs.

Julia Jordan Rib Midi Polo Dress

Looking to take the guesswork out of getting dressed for the office? This one-and-done crewneck dress is a nice blend of polish and comfort. Plus, its stately collar calls to mind dresses we’ve seen on Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon.

Wayf Agnes Ruffle Top

Long-sleeve blouses and late-summer heat aren’t always the most compatible, but this top’s light fabric makes it well-suited for even the hottest of days. Shoppers prefer to style it layered over camisoles or under jackets, but we think it would look just as cute thrown over a swimsuit and styled with shorts on your next pool day.

Farm Rio Flower Delicacy Paisley Slipdress

If you can only pick up one wedding guest look for the rest of the year, let it be this pretty slip dress by Farm Rio. Its color scheme really is the best of both worlds — that is, not too muted for summer and not too bright for fall — and one five-star reviewer called its styling potential “endless.”
