Several good fashion sales to report this week. First, J.Crew is taking up to 50 percent off all the summer staples you’ll need to survive next week’s heat wave. Nordstrom is offering an extra 25 percent off clearance items through Sunday night, a deal that only crops up a handful of times per year, so don’t dillydally. And if you’re willing to splurge, Reformation and Lack of Color’s sales are definitely worth a look.

At last, a good J.Crew sale: Summer staples are up to 50 percent off through Monday night. This breezy linen top — which reminds me of one of our favorite button-ups for men — comes in eight colors.

Reformation added a bunch of new items to its sale section. It’s mostly dresses and skirts, but my favorite piece is this going-out top for $44.

I’ve had my eye on these Madewell jeans since we wrote about them in March (a.k.a. Jeans Month). I feel I no longer have any excuses not to hit the “buy” button now that they’re just $57.

Our encyclopedia of summer dresses under $150 launched earlier this week, and one of our maxi picks is now half off. It comes recommended by Strategist contributor Katie Stone, who wore it on a single-day endeavor to the Hamptons and dinner upon her return to the city. “I think it says a lot that I could spend upward of 12 hours in this dress, five of which were on a Coach bus, without even a second of discomfort,” she writes.

We love Cotopaxi bags. But if a price tag of $300 is too high, I spotted this much more affordable option for day hikes and everyday wear. And it’s still available in four colors, no less.

Lack of Color’s sun hats are another splurge we often recommend, but luckily you won’t have to pay full price on most of them right now. You really can’t go wrong with any of them; but you’ll definitely get the most sun protection from the compliment-inducing Holiday bucket hat.
