Welcome to Nice Saves, BAZAAR’s destination for the best editor-approved sales from across the internet each week. Here, I'm dedicated to uncovering can't-miss deals for the good of your closet.


Between the last edition of Nice Saves and today's sale guide, Copenhagen Fashion Week came and went with a crop of exciting spring 2024 trends and late-summer street style to take them all in. The best sales I caught this week matched the effortlessly layered outfits I saw while reporting from Denmark, with savings on transitional weather essentials like trench coats and ballet flats. SSENSE and Saks Fifth Avenue have the best deals on oversized outerwear and fall dresses to pull on underneath; at Reformation's summer sale, I caught a wide range of blouses and knitwear meant for tricky in-between forecasts. To upgrade my getting ready routine, Shopbop has a limited-time sale on premium beauty products—just enter code BEAUTY15 to take advantage.

Read on for 10 certified nice saves worth adding to your cart before they’re out of stock.

Dahlia Tie-Back Puff-Sleeve Matelassé Blouse

Cecilie Bahnsen is a designer I can't own enough of—her pieces whole-heartedly embrace romantic colors and fabrics, with a Scandi-style slant. This on-sale top at Matches is lighter than cotton candy, subtly textured, and going into my cart ASAP.

Enda Regenerative Wool Sweater

We all know that Reformation sales are a one-stop shop for every kind of dress: linen dresses for now, fall dresses for later, wedding guest dresses for when the invites roll in. But for their current summer sale, I'm much more in favor of a knitwear update. Pieces like this slightly-oversized sweater are under $100 and worthy of throwing over your shoulders daily.

The Rich Cream

I typically browse Shopbop for fashion deals, but its 15 percent off sale on its beauty edit has me restocking my top shelf. My first refresh: a tube of Augustinus Bader's Rich cream, which comes backed by hundreds of tastemakers and editors. After incorporating it into my daily routine a few months ago, my skin has gotten softer and more supple.

Louie Settee

There's a 2023 interior design trend toward brighter colors and eccentric prints for every room in the home. I'm taking notes and refreshing my reading nook with this seat, one of several vibrantly upholstered items in Rifle Paper Co.'s ongoing furniture sale.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Friflepaperco.com%2Fpomegranate-blue-louie-settee-with-natural-leg&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Ffashion%2Ftrends%2Fg44823763%2Fbazaar-nice-saves-august-16-2023%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Shop Now</a></p><p>Louie Settee</p><p>riflepaperco.com</p><p>$1106.25</p><span class="copyright">Rifle Paper Co.</span>

Carrie Printed Silk Dress

Saks Fifth Avenue's designer sale includes rarities like this Rixo dress for up to 70 percent off. My eye went to this style for its under-the-radar versatility: I want to wear it with a leather jacket and Adidas Gazelles at fashion week, then with satin platform pumps to a slate of fall weddings.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.saksfifthavenue.com%2Fproduct%2Frixo-carrie-printed-silk-dress-0400017289064.html&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Ffashion%2Ftrends%2Fg44823763%2Fbazaar-nice-saves-august-16-2023%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Shop Now</a></p><p>Carrie Printed Silk Dress</p><p>saksfifthavenue.com</p><p>$178.12</p><span class="copyright">Saks Fifth Avenue</span>

Linen Mary Jane

I'm all in on 2023's ballet flat renaissance, but I don't necessarily want a pair that everyone else has. This deal on Le Monde Beryl's low-key linen Mary Jane flat is exactly what I'm looking for; it's designed for all-day wear and not as obvious as a trending pair. For a truly balletic take, I also tracked down the same ones, for the same discount, in pink satin.

Beige Solvej Trench Coat

After seeing how oversized coats were styled throughout Copenhagen Fashion Week street style, classics like the standard trench coat suddenly feel a lot more exciting. I'm eyeing this Saks Potts version with a removable belt, hidden interior pockets, and Harris Tweed cuffs for an upgrade to my fall jacket collection.

Joi Top

Sure, a white T-shirt will always look crisp tucked into a pair of pleated trousers. This Reformation top with Greek-goddess draping throughout feels like an effortless step up.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thereformation.com%2Fproducts%2Fjoi-top-es&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Ffashion%2Ftrends%2Fg44823763%2Fbazaar-nice-saves-august-16-2023%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Shop Now</a></p><p>Joi Top</p><p>thereformation.com</p><p>$103.60</p><span class="copyright">Reformation</span>

Striped Sweater with Zipper

As soon as I detect even the tiniest chill in the air, I bring my stock of half-zip sweaters out of storage. I get the most outfit milage out of a version with thick stripes and a creamy base like this one—but I wasn't lucky enough to score mine on a deep sale like Mango's.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.mango.com%2Fus%2Fwomen%2Fsweaters-and-cardigans-sweaters%2Fstriped-sweater-with-zipper_47091279.html&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Ffashion%2Ftrends%2Fg44823763%2Fbazaar-nice-saves-august-16-2023%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Shop Now</a></p><p>Striped Sweater with Zipper</p><p>mango.com</p><p>$39.99</p><span class="copyright">Mango</span>

Hydro-Stars

I'm also using Shopbop's beauty sale for a restock of Starface's hyrocolloid patches. They shrink blemishes overnight and make acne care cute—two essentials for high-stress times when I tend to break out (like New York Fashion Week's impending return).

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopbop.com%2Fhydro-stars-starface%2Fvp%2Fv%3D1%2F1571603000.htm&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Ffashion%2Ftrends%2Fg44823763%2Fbazaar-nice-saves-august-16-2023%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Shop Now</a></p><p>Hydro-Stars</p><p>shopbop.com</p><p>$12.74</p><span class="copyright">Shopbop</span>
