So, in case you weren’t aware, it’s now September. September. While we can all officially agree that August was the quickest month to occur in history, we must now accept we are heading into Autumn now. Sadly, Autumn capsule wardrobe roundup won’t be ready for some time yet (SF summer is September & October, soz). That said, I’m already starting to think about what pieces will transition me from Summer to the colder months. And, considering the sheer amount of sales picking up this weekend, this is the best time to invest in some staple, capsule pieces for your wardrobe.
I normally would not be the type to tell you, “Buy things ‘cus their on sale!” And, truth be told, I’m not. Please don’t buy something just because it’s on sale. But, if you’re like me, money isn’t infinite (hello $60+ tee shirt I adore you). I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t motivated by a sale, like many of us are. Sale times can be a great period to invest in high-quality, sustainable fabrics (such as cashmere, good wool, etc.) whose prices would normally elude those of us with budgets.
COVID-times have been tough for retail businesses, evident by how good the sales are this year. However, as a consumer, there is no better time to buy new pieces — as always, with purpose, and with a mind to sustainability and to being able to rewear for Autumn and beyond.
Below are my picks of the best Summer Sale / Labor Day Sale pieces that will last you from Autumn and beyond. Happy sustainable shopping!
