As a New York-Based Writer, This Brand's Fall Sale Is My Favorite for Stylish Basics

As a New York City-based writer, I always have my eye on current fashion trends, and as a shopping writer, I spend eight hours a day shopping.

You can score 25 percent off everything on the site (with some exclusions), including items that are rarely marked down.

Split-Crewneck Cardigan Tank

I already have this top and love it so much that I’m looking at more colors. It’s super versatile; I’ve worn it with a slip skirt, a long denim skirt, and straight-leg jeans. Made of a cotton-polyester blend fabric, the ribbed tank has a classic silhouette that will be a staple in your closet for years to come. It comes in neutral black and white, as well as a very on-trend burgundy. 

Wide Sweep Denim Trousers

As someone who prefers to wear jeans for most occasions in the fall and winter, these denim trousers are perfect. The wide-leg pants can be dressed up for the office or a night out. Wear them with kitten heels to elevate the style or pair them with casual sneakers on a daily basis. There are petite, standard, and tall lengths available, and they come in sizes ranging from 23 to 32 to fit several body types. 

Denim V-Neck Midi Dress

I’ve been wanting a denim dress for a while, and I’m obsessed with this one. The V-neck style has a midi length that will be great with boots, loafers, or sneakers for fall. It features gold buttons all the way down the front and flattering darting on the front and back. 

Cashmere Button-Front Cardigan Sweater

Since cashmere can get pretty pricey, now’s the perfect time to snag this cardigan while it’s on sale. According to shoppers, the cashmere feels high quality, with one reviewer sagying, “I’m sensitive to itchy fabrics, and this feels soft and soothing on the skin.” The sweater has a slim fit and comes in four colors: cobalt blue, oat, pale green, and molasses brown.
