24 Designer Finds to Shop at Saks for a More Luxe-Looking Wardrobe
All up to 70 percent off.
As a shopping editor, I'm constantly scrolling through my favorite retailers to stay up to date on the season's latest trends. Even outside of work hours, you can most likely find me idly scrolling on my phone whether I'm relaxing on the couch, commuting on the subway, or laying down for bed. Call it a personal hobby (or small addiction) if you will, but my online shopping habit has led to a world of new discoveries. Through my near-endless scrolling, I've added quite a few under-the-radar brands into my fashion Rolodex, and because I believe that sharing is caring, I'm giving a few of them up all in the name of a good sale.
Saks Fifth Avenue, one of my go-to sites for finding new elevated pieces, is currently throwing a major sale of up to 70 percent off designer finds. Yes, that does include top names like The Row, LOEWE, and Proenza Schouler, but it also has more low-key brands on sale in case you're in the mood to discover a new favorite.
Ahead, you'll find a range of fashion finds from brands you may or may not know (yet). From editor-favorite jeans and elevated wardrobe basics to day-to-night pieces and trendy sweaters, these are the sale picks I can't stop thinking about, and I'm sure you won't either.
If you haven’t heard of Cinq à Sept yet, allow me to introduce you. The New York-based brand boasts eye-catching pieces that are just as special for the workweek as they are for the weekend. This pretty satin top, for example, would go far in your office wardrobe as well as your date night rotation.
If you want to nail the quiet luxury style that’s taken over the fashion world, this pair of pants is an easy way to do so. Not only are they made of a gorgeous silky material, but the grey shade practically screams “luxurious.” I can definitely imagine Jennifer Lawrence wearing these with a grey-toned sweater for a stylish monochrome look.
Ralph Lauren is about as classic American as it gets. You can trust the brand to deliver luxe wardrobe staples like this turtleneck sweater, which is 100 percent wool and crazy warm. This is a polished sweater you'll want to keep in your closet year after year.
Agolde never fails to deliver quality denim in styles that can feel forward and classic all at the same time, which is why it's been an editor-favorite brand for years. These jeans, for example, feel like the ideal pair to carry you throughout spring thanks to the cool distressed hem, faded medium wash, and cropped length.
A brand I can always count on for cool day-to-night pieces is Elie Tahari. They specialize in your not-so-basic workwear that can be dressed up or down in a pinch. This leather dress for instance is certainly appropriate for the office, but has an edge that makes it the ideal piece for date night or happy hour.
Long live the long skirt! The trend is still going strong among the fashion set and I don’t see it slowing down any time soon. If you’re looking for a more elevated take on the denim skirt, might I suggest adding this piece to your cart? The subtle leather-like finish is an edgier departure from denim, not to mention this tan shade feels especially fresh for this season.
This is just one of many Mercer Collective jackets I’m obsessed with. From the boxy shape and sherpa collar to the edgy zipper details and belted cuffs, I love everything about this jacket. Once the tricky transitional weather comes around, this would be the ideal jacket to have in your closet. Just imagine how good it would look with an all-white outfit.
Do yourself a favor and add these trousers to your cart ASAP. They have a baggy oversized look which will instantly add the cool factor to your 'fit. They also come with a removable belt for easy convertible styling.
When I first came across this dress, my mind immediately shot to Renée Rapp’s character in The Sex Lives of College Girls. Too specific for you? Just think of classic schoolgirl style combined with the flair of Gen Z. In short, this dress is equal parts preppy and cool and I want it in my closet ASAP.
Bodysuits make wardrobe essentials. Period. But they aren't all made equal. If you want the best bodysuit the market has to offer, this one by Wolford is tough to beat. While it may be on the pricier side for a bodysuit, every single review mentions its great quality and comfortable fit. It also comes in plenty of colors from need-to-have white, black, and nude to eye-catching cobalt.
A great blazer like this is one fashion item I will never tire of wearing. You can throw it on basically anything and you'll instantly look more polished and elevated. This one gets extra style points for its cool layered look, plus it's incredibly sexy worn with nothing underneath.
Loulou Studio is such an underrated brand for elevated basics, as made clear by these pants. Made from a wool/cashmere blend, these pants have top-notch quality and comfort, plus the pleats add the cool factor. Something tells me pinstripes are about to be everywhere this spring, too, so I suggest getting ahead of the curve and adding these to your cart now.
Say it with me: "The coat makes the outfit." So, why settle for a boring black puffer jacket when a fun option like this exists? The gunmetal grey is right in line with the metallic trend that's still going strong, not to mention it's simply cool. I have a similar jacket as this and I get non-stop compliments every time I wear it.
Reformation hardly ever goes on sale, so when it does you don't let it slip you by. This golden mini would be like a ray of sunshine in your winter wardrobe. I also get the feeling this is something Taylor Swift would wear for a night out—she did just rock a similar velvet dress recently.
Loulou Studio has done it again with their elevated basics. This miniskirt may be simple in silhouette, but not in construction. It's made from a luxurious wool blend and if you look closely, the seams provide a cool tailored look. Shop the matching jacket to complete the set, or pair this skirt with all of your sweaters and boots for an easy look.
I simply couldn't resist adding another Maje dress to this list because they are just too good. For starters, this dress has a structured fit-and-flair silhouette that will look flattering on just about every body type. The lace-up detailing and tweed fabric add even more style points, too.
I don't think it would be a stretch to say that this is the coolest jacket I've ever laid my eyes on. It's got bold shoulder pads and front hook-and-eye closures to make for the ultimate layering piece. If The Matrix was made in 2024, this is the coat Trinity would wear.
While I do love Maje's dresses, their knitwear proves to be just as good. Aside from the gorgeous purple shade, this sweater is a major standout thanks to 100 percent cashmere and elevated ribbed detailing. With this sweater, you'll stay warm, cozy, and chic without a sweat.
Spring will be here before you know it so now's the time to get a head start on some fresh pieces while you can score huge discounts. These linen pants (which are over $250 off!) are sure to be your next springtime staple and can easily be dressed up or down—as made evident by Saks' styling above.
Leave it to Cinq à Sept to create a shirtdress that's cool, edgy, and still work appropriate. I'm loving the tie detail along the hips not only as a way to show off your waist and add some shape, but also as a unique style detail. This is also a dress you can wear long into the spring by switching up your footwear.
I'm all about a fancy sweater moment—it's fun, polished, and cool all wrapped up into one top. Pair this sweater with baggy jeans for a more casual vibe, or opt for trousers for a dressier take. And if you're lucky enough to have the matching cardigan available in your size, I suggest completing the set.
Yet another jacket from Mercer Collective (I did say that I'm loving them at the moment) worth adding to your cart is this shearling number. Its brown patchwork look is very much '70s-coded, which is why I desperately want it in my closet. This is one of those jackets that can carry all of the heavy lifting of a simplistic outfit.
Summer may still be ways away but it's never too early to keep an eye out for cool new pieces. This tie-dye number from Proenza Schouler screams "vacation" and I'm sure all of your friends will be jealous they didn't score it first. I also can't forget to mention that it's nearly $900(!!!) off.
I clearly have a thing for shirt dresses but I couldn't resist adding this leather number in. It's made from a smooth, luxe-looking vegan leather (could've fooled me for genuine), plus the a-line silhouette is incredibly flattering. Personally, I would wear this on repeat well into spring.
