Nice Saves: 11 Must-Have Items on Sale This Week

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

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.

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, arguably the headlining fashion sale of the summer, ends this Sunday, August 6. I took a final scroll through the remaining items to locate two final deals that shouldn’t be missed (and that you’ll wear for much longer than the last weeks of summer). But the biggest sale of the week isn’t the only one I consider the best.

Today is the last day for 20 percent off new arrivals from Rodarte, Lemaire, Paco Rabanne, and other brands at MatchesFashion with code 20SUMMER. Shopbop has generously marked down its best sandals, espadrilles, and sneakers for a little end-of-season footwear refresh; Toteme’s newly updated sale section is stocked with quiet luxury basics from tank tops to dresses and coats. A few insider-favorite brands are also holding can’t-miss sample sales: Mara Hoffman is taking up to 80 percent off her revered popcorn dresses and size-inclusive swimwear, while Collina Strada’s zany clothing and accessories are up to 60 percent off.

The list ahead pulls together my favorite pieces from each of these sales, but there are hundreds more to discover once you click through. Read on for 11 certified nice saves worth adding to your cart before they’re out of stock.

Sloan Dress

Dresses made from Mara Hoffman's signature popcorn material should be the first stop in any trip through her sample sale. Flouncy crop tops, colorblock bodysuits, and slim-fitting dresses like the Sloan are all up to 80 percent off. Personally, I added this solid version to my cart as soon as the sale opened. It's exactly what I want for a slate of weddings and outdoor dinners on my calendar this August.

Tina Jute Wrap Mid Espadrilles

A pair of Castañer's espadrilles was the most-wanted item from a recent edition of Bazaar's What I Bought Last Month newsletter. (Sign up here if you aren't on the list yet—it goes out once per month and it's packed with editor-tested recommendations.) That first pair wasn't even on sale, so I have a feeling this equivalently chic and also marked-down pair will resonate.

Poplin Shirt

I'm the kind of person who has to actively stop herself from buying more poplin shirts. This deal from Totême's sale makes it especially hard to control my shopping urge. The material and collar are so timeless, but the exaggerated sleeves feel brand-new.

Dri-FIT Tempo Running Shorts

I've worn a version of these Nike shorts ever since I started seriously running a few years ago. There have been a lot of new activewear brands with running shorts to test since then, but I keep coming back to this pair. The white-trimmed design is timeless and the materials are so breathable.

Other active reviewers agree that they're essential: "Everything about these shorts [is] great! They are lightweight, breezy, and the perfect length!"

Leona 18kt Gold-Plated Earrings

These abstract hoops are for making waves in your jewelry stack–with or without other piercings to coordinate with them. Enter code 20SUMMER at checkout to try this pair.

Ava Mules

Silver- and gold-tone footwear is shaping up to be one of the summer's biggest shoe trends. The best part? These updated neutrals have staying power, especially in the form of a curved mule sandal like this one. Wear it to your Renaissance World Tour stop now and to a holiday party (with tights underneath!) later.

Floral-Appliqué Printed Silk Slip Dress

Rarely does a dress for a beach wedding also function for a rustic barn ceremony and a city dinner, but this Rodarte dress included in MatchesFashion's sale can do all three. (It's also just a winning investment for your personal date night outfits.) Enter code 20SUMMER at checkout to make it yours.

Tulay Skirt

Just days ago, I included this Mara Hoffman piece in my guide to summer's best white maxi skirts. Now, it's included in the sample sale. I take it as a sign to try the look, ASAP.

Signature Stripe Turtleneck

Totême's current sale is as crucial for restocking winter must-haves ahead of time as it is for replenishing elevated basics for right now. This sweater may not get any play until October, but when it does, you'll come to see it as your best striped sweater. The soft knit and high collar made it a viral sensation in another shade last fall.

The Perfect Vintage Wide Leg Jeans

Madewell's "Perfect Vintage" line has always lived up to the hype, in my experience. I'm tempted to order another pair knowing there are only a few days left to snag it on sale. The high-rise is just high enough to tuck in a shirt without getting into ribcage territory, and the hemline hits so chicly at the anklebone. In other words, the proportions really are perfect.

x Collina Strada Old School Sneakers

Collina Strada's end-of-season sale is not for the color-shy. It's a botanical garden of floral, metallic, and glittery fashion, including a few still-available pairs of the label's buzzy Vans collaboration.
