By this point in the end-of-year sale season, the big-ticket, trendy items have all but sold out, purchased by people who were okay with shopping during the first round of price cuts. I, on the other hand, usually make it a rule to skip the initial few weeks of sales, preferring to wait until the real discounts start, when only the non-trendywardrobe essentials are left and are selling at a price that's truly worth writing home about.
After what's felt like forever spent watching other people shop, I got the news I've been waiting all season for. As of this week, Shopbop's up-to-70%-off holiday sale is on, which means that I can finally get in on the action, and of course, so can you. If you're just as inclined to shop for heavily discounted closet staples for 2024, scroll down for 30 that are guaranteed to get worn and worn again in the year ahead.
