At midnight tonight, 1/13, Oak ratchets up its end-of-season markdowns to 60%. Have at the stock here, or try it on for size in store. Next markdowns will be at Oak’s semiannual sample sale, but there’s no telling how much of this stock will make it there. Personally, we wouldn’t sleep on this double-breasted, hooded wool coat from J. Lindeberg, which, come midnight, goes for just $256. Far inferior coats sell for much more.
In stores and online, Reiss is the latest supplier of respectable style to join the 70% off club. Particularly for the price ($330), we’re lovin’ this winter weight Italian wool suit in sharkskin weave. The cut is modern enough to take you from the office to a night out, and, from our hands-on experience, we can tell you that Reiss’s construction passes for that of far pricier labels.
