If you haven’t noticed, fall’s almost here. Between the massive September issues arriving in mailboxes and the comprehensive trend roundups, it’s hard not to want to update your closet. But before you go and splurge on new, full-priced pieces, why not peruse the sales? There are plenty of discounted finds that tap into the biggest trends of the season. Or, if you prefer, this is the time to grab a few seasonless staples that work just as well now as they will in a few months. Hunting for a new coat? Vanessa Bruno’s sleek gray version will keep you warm, should the polar vortex return. Maybe you’re looking to invest in a new bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim has a minimalist navy version that’s marked down to $665 (still a lot, but a good deal if you’re in the mood to splurge). Click ahead to see all of these and more.
