10 Must-Have Sale Items To Buy Now

Having years of experience in the wholesale side of the fashion industry throughout my career, I have a deep understanding of the crucial timing involved in delivering new season collections to retail stores. This well-established business model serves as the backbone of the wholesale and retail supply chain. Nevertheless, receiving emails in the middle of June, announcing the arrival of Pre-Fall items in stores, could be a bit unnerving. It's disconcerting to think that summer is nearly over when, in reality, it has only just begun. However, this situation presents a necessary dilemma for retailers who must clear out existing merchandise before introducing new inventory, inevitably leading to enticing markdowns.

I've curated a collection of my top 10 finds, but don't delay – act fast as they won't last! Take the opportunity now to score incredible deals.

Make the most of the remaining summer days by embracing a fun pink dress. La Ligne offers great quality and impeccable fit. What's more, you can't find a better deal than this dress for $198.

Maxi skirts dominated the Spring runways, and their popularity shows no signs of waning. This leather maxi skirt from Tibi is an absolute score, priced at just $498. Even if you can't flaunt it right away, you'll be happy to have this great piece in your wardrobe once Fall arrives.

Indulging in a fabulous shoe sale is always exciting, particularly when it involves timeless designer brands. While you may not have an immediate occasion for these Manolo Blahnik black satin sandals with a rhinestone ornament, the joy you'll experience when the perfect moment arrives and you pull them from your closet will be worth the wait.

As summer continues to dazzle with soirées and vacations, it's essential to have a fabulous printed summer dress in your arsenal. This stunning piece from Ulla Johnson is the epitome of perfection, boasting not only an impeccable fit but also convenient pockets. Take advantage of the fact that it's marked down.

For quite some time, I've been advocating the versatility of vests, and I'm particularly enamored with the concept of sporting one for dressier occasions. While vests can sometimes exude a certain seriousness, this exceptional piece with and open back detail adds a touch of edginess, making it both playful and distinctive. The cherry on top is its incredible sale price of just $219!

My summer shopping obsession revolves around finding the perfect cotton tee with great details. Whether it's a charming puff sleeve or a captivating color, having a fabulous top to elevate your denim or white trousers makes dressing up for date night or a casual lunch outing an effortless affair. This one from Veronica Beard is great for summer and has been one of their best sellers.

Few things are as timeless as a great cover-up. A well-fitting sarong is always a safe bet, and this one from Simkhai takes it to the next level. Whether you're heading to the beach, lounging by the pool, or embarking on a boat cruise, you'll exude instant chicness in this garment while ensuring adequate coverage whenever needed.

A blazer is a timeless choice, and when it comes in a versatile color that can be effortlessly worn across multiple seasons, it becomes an even more brilliant idea. Since this is from Theory you can count of the fact that it will have a great fit. Wear it with matching trousers or denim to elevate your look.

The answer to the question of whether you can wear boots during Spring/Summer is an emphatic yes. This is particularly true when they come in a neutral color that effortlessly pairs with jeans, skirts, and can easily be stored for early Fall. Regardless of the timing, you'll be delighted that you snagged these boots on sale. While the price may not seem all that inexpensive the fact that these are designed and manufactured in Italy makes them a true bargain.

Elevate your style instantly with a shoulder bag. There's a definite trend of moving away from crossbody bags and into the more updated shoulder bag. This stunning off-white bag from Altuzarra is an ideal companion for both day and evening outings, effortlessly holding all your essentials. With its sophisticated design and tasteful hardware accents, this bag strikes the perfect balance.
