I consider Memorial Day to be the start of summer—never mind that the “official” season doesn’t begin for another three weeks. While I certainly have plenty of non-shopping-related summer traditions to look forward to, I always keep an eye out for Memorial Day sales to jump-start my new-season wardrobe. This year, retailers have not disappointed.

But right now, a trio of my favorite retailers are discounting the *good* stuff: Shopbop, Saks, and Bloomingdale’s. I’ve rounded up my favorite sale picks below, including a Jacquemus bag, a Staud skirt, an Ulla Johnson dress, and more.
