From the fireworks to the al fresco soirées, I’m sure you’re already looking forward to the 4th of July weekend. But I have two more words that I think will make you even more excited about the holiday celebrations: designer sales. That’s right; this is a rare chance to make a high-quality purchase on items that will withstand the test of time. As a shopping editor, my sartorial M.O. has always been to buy better, not more. That’s why I always take advantage of these moments to invest in expertly crafted finds for a fraction of the price.
I’m starting my shopping journey this weekend by upgrading my denim collection with a coveted pair of Albi jeans by Khaite. They’ve been on my wishlist for quite some time, thanks to the modernly cool silhouette that offers a bit of volume throughout the thighs before tapering off at the ankles. In other words: They’re the perfect solution to the baggy versus skinny debate. In the accessories department, I’m leaning towards the coveted IYKYK pieces—like Maison Margiela’s viral Tabi flats and Toteme’s vacation-ready striped tote bag. Both come with a 40 percent off discounts.
Of course, savings like this don’t come around too often, so I’ll let you get to it. Start shopping ELLE’s curation of the best designer sales below.
