With fall fashion content in full swing and NYFW around the corner, there's basically no time to think about all the Labor Day sales dropping this weekend. If I'm going to shop right now, I want the best of the best already in mind so I can add pieces to my cart in record time. There's no scenario in which I don't spend at least a few dollars this weekend (just me?), so I went ahead and asked around about my favorite retailers' sales. Spoiler alert: They're too good to miss. Particularly, Farfetch, Madewell, and Ann Taylor are offering discounts on fall fashion that are impossible to turn down. I'm talking on-trend Adidas sneakers, classic denim, some chic tailoring that would be perfect for the office, and a Barbie pink cardigan that I can't believe I don't already own. Long story short: There are so many good pieces on sale right now, but I wouldn't sleep on them if I were you—they're bound to sell out. If you're looking for a shortcut, I listed all of my favorites below.

Farfetch is my go-to retailer when I'm looking for sneakers, new designer items, and unique fashion pieces that are still in stock. I've been trying to track down my size in the Adidas x Wales Bonner sneakers for months, and these striped jeans are the perfect combination of statement-making and neutral for fall. (Don't get me started again on the Barbie pink Ganni sweater.) I simply can't miss out on these pieces, especially if they're on sale. To score 20% off select designer pieces, be sure to shop this link from August 31 through September 7.

Anytime Madewell has a sale, my credit card does a little jump for joy. I don't care what anyone says—you can never have too many pairs of jeans, and I return to this brand every time I need a denim refresh (read: every fall). I'm loving the pieces that are included in this sale. The low-rise, straight-leg jeans are the perfect wash, and this square-neck, long-sleeve T-shirt is the exact elevated basic I've been looking for. Shop August 25 through 31 to get 30% off select fall styles.

Last but certainly not least, we have Ann Taylor offering 30% off full-priced items. This brand has caught my eye lately for its classic wardrobe pieces that fit that quiet-luxury vibe everyone is after for fall. There's an abundance of tailored essentials, oversize button-downs, and one of my favorite fall trends: all things tweed. I'm using this sale as an opportunity to stock up on office attire, and I urge you to do the same.
