The calendar flipped to August and all of a sudden we’re in the last gasp of summer — or at least that’s what retailers like Madewell, J.Crew, and the Gap would have you believe, as the end-of-summer sales are coming on fast and furious. Luckily, you and I both know there’s plenty of warm weather left, which means now’s a great time to grab another pair of linen pants, a satin slip skirt, or a fluttery tank top while they’re discounted. Below, I’ve rounded up all the best on-sale summer gear, from breezy button-downs to Bermuda shorts.
