MANY of you are fans of Eileen Fisher fashion because you love the ease of the label’s loose, monochromatic and understated clothing. For those who appreciate the no-muss, no-fuss looks but would love lower price points, an end-of-the-season sale is happening right now, with up to 60 percent off original prices. The best deals tend to be on wear-them-now tops, pants and dresses in cotton and linen. Popular items, such as wide-leg ponte pants, are only available in limited sizes. That said, we found two cardigans, a pair of ballet flats, suede boots and a corduroy jacket (among other pieces) that would smoothly transit from now to cooler temps:
An easygoing, ribbed, linen knit cardigan in khaki (it’s also available in charcoal) that looks as perfect paired with all white as it would with black or navy. The price on this long (rear-end covering) cardi is reduced from $278 to $131.40.
Sleek and simple with a square toe, EF’s Selle Suede Ballet Flat revives the classic in black, “cassis” and “nocturne.” The latter two colors are selling for $77.40, a whopping discount from the original $210. My best bet is the burgundy— a fresh take on an old standby.
We’ve showed you this soft, drapey, organic cotton gauze shirt before. But now, in the waning days of August, the breezy mandarin collar blouse is discounted from its original $138 to $71.40 ( in black or white). Also available from Bloomingdale’s in white for $96.60. It’s still $138 in “nocturne” on the Eileen Fisher site.
Made from Tencel Lyocell, this fluid tank dress with a slightly tiered silhouette—thanks to a shirred bottom panel—comes in “picante” or black for $101.40, down from $198. Extend its wearability by layering it over a cotton T-shirt or a lightweight knit top.
This zippered Anja Suede Bootie with an almond toe and block heel will look great with a pleated midi skirt and oversized sweater come fall. It’s reduced in price from $275 to $137.40 (in limited sizes).
Made from organic linen in a mini-check print, this tapered, ankle-length pant with front pleats is available in black, loden and gray and is reduced from $178 to $83.40.
Give your denim jacket a rest and consider this classic patch pocket jacket in creamy-textured, coffee-colored corduroy. Wear for cool, late-summer or early fall evenings. Layer it under a trench or heavier coat when the weather turns chilly. It’s selling for $113.40, reduced from $218.
Eileen Fisher ‘s Peruvian cotton V-Neck Boyfriend Cardigan is the kind of relaxed-fitting wardrobe staple you’ll wear over and over again—with a dress or jeans and a T-shirt. It’s now $199 at Garnet Hill, reduced from $268.
If you prefer more structured pants, take a look at the Theory site—the brand is also having a sale during these final days of August. Cut from a wrinkle-resistant, all-seasons crêpe fabric with a softly draped fit, these high-waist, wide-leg pants are on sale for $114, down from $285.
