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.


More is definitely more where this week's sales are concerned. Luxury retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman bumped up the total savings at their designer sales this week, with between 50 and 70 percent off. Then at Reformation, last week's 30 percent off discount was increased to 50 percent—and now includes a fall dress I'm desperate to wear ASAP and a perfectly oversized denim shacket. I also tracked down a twisted Khaite bodysuit Meghan Markle wore last year on sale for all the royal watchers filling out their fall wardrobes.

Read on for 9 certified nice saves worth adding to your cart before they’re out of stock.

Amal Knit Dress

Reformation's updated sale has all sorts of hidden gems—oversized trench coats, cozy sweaters, better-for-the-planet denim—but this dress was first to land in my cart. It's made from a jersey material that feels just like my favorite T-shirts. I'm excited to take this softness on dates, work appointments, and to drinks with friends—the wrap silhouette is dressy enough to go anywhere.

Ella Crochet Tote Bag

Saks Fifth Avenue's designer sale is pushing a lot of wish list items into 'order ASAP' territory, including this best-selling crochet tote from Tory Burch. The knitted texture may read like summer, but the peony and olive color palette can easily transition into fall.

Cerise Bodysuit

This Grecian twisted bodysuit by Khaite has lived rent-free in my head since Meghan Markle wore a version of it in 2022. Other shoppers are clearly on the same wavelength: I originally found it on sale at Bergdorf Goodman, and it sold out before this week's Nice Saves could go live. MatchesFashion saved the day with its own 30 percent off deal—which is undoubtedly flying into carts now.

Ace Oversized Denim Jacket

I already own my fair share of denim jackets, but I'm considering another one with this half-off Reformation style. The relaxed shacket gives outfits an off-duty-model-esque energy, whether it's slung over coordinating wide-leg jeans or an activewear set.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thereformation.com%2Fproducts%2Face-oversized-shirt-jacket%2F1312469GWY.html&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Ffashion%2Ftrends%2Fg44883432%2Fbazaar-nice-saves-august-23-2023%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>Ace Oversized Denim Jacket</p><p>thereformation.com</p><p>$89.00</p><span class="copyright">Reformation</span>

Luxe Trim Bralette

While I've grown to prefer padding-free, wire-free bralettes over push-up bras, I still want my bras to feel special. Lively has just the deal to spruce up my top drawer, with half-off a highly rated bralette lined with satin.

The Slushy

AYR's summer sale technically starts tomorrow, on August 24. When it opens, I plan to beeline straight for this long-sleeve striped T-shirt. I know from my short sleeves that the cotton weave is softer than a hotel pillow and the color combinations are Nantucket timeless.

Cora Suede Combat Boots

I associate Jimmy Choo with sky-high heels and bridal ballet flats, but the brand is just as reliable for leather boots that can brave the elements. For example? This pair I found in Bergdorf Goodman's extended designer sale, with luscious suede that can go to the office this fall and lug-soles for stepping over puddles on the way.

Orion Top

I'm almost always dressed in my best white T-shirt and an oversized black blazer, but this Reformation deal has me rethinking my go-to layers. This ruched top will add some much-needed contrast to my daily outfits; it's smocked in the back, so it's also stretchy and comfortable for all-day wear.

Mini Soft Lady Bag

Whether I'm traveling for fashion month or on a trip by myself, I always prefer to be hands-free. This Mansur Gavriel bag I found on sale is my platonic idea of a travel crossbody bag: It's small and easy to transport, but its creamy leather and rounded edges don't read like a travel bag. Inside, it can stash an iPhone, passport case, and travel-sized SPF.
