As you can see from my headline, effortless elegance is my style mantra in 2025, and I’m determined to keep my shopping focused on pieces that reflect that sensibility. Think elevated basics, modern silhouettes, and quality pieces that are timeless in nature.
Building a refined-looking wardrobe sounds like it could get pricey, which is why I often turn to some of my favorite retailer’s sale sections to do some digging. It’s amazing to see the stylish treasures that can be found amongst all the marked down pieces. I turned to four retailers this week—Mango, Aritzia, Banana Republic, and J.Crew—all known for their chic and elevated offerings, and all of which happen to be having some big sales right now. After plenty of searching I found some incredibly chic and classy items that are guaranteed to add an elegant touch to my 2025 wardrobe. From classic coats to sophisticated knits, keep scrolling below for my edit of rich-looking finds that won’t break the bank.
