Living on the East Coast, Labor Day Weekend isn't just about cookouts and catching a match at the US Open, but also about the end-of-summer sales. Inspired by my fellow shopping editor Chichi Offor's guide to the best Labor Day sales, I curated an edit of the chicest LDW deals across multiple retailers, with an emphasis on what fashion people are already shopping for this fall. Spoiler: cropped trench coats, raglan T-shirts, oxblood loafers, striped crewnecks, and corduroy trousers are in.

Before we go straight into the 32 buys, let me give you a rundown of the deals up for grabs. Save up to 50% at Nordstrom's summer end-of-season clearance until September 7. Use code LONGWEEKEND at Madewell for up to 50% off now through September 8.

But wait! There's more... COS is offering a generous 30% off select items. Enter code MNG30 at Mango and save 30%. Last but not least, earn 40-60% off at Gap's Labor Day Event. I'm aware this can feel daunting, so ahead is a list of editor-approved LDW picks hand-selected by me. You'll find houndstooth blazers, woven totes, '90s-inspired jeans, and so much more. Happy saving!
