While the weather in B.C. hasn't quite been putting a spring in our step, the one upside to the chilly weather is that there's still time to transition to a warm-weather wardrobe. There are loads of excellent pieces on sale: like sandals, maxi dresses, wrap skirts, tanks, denim shorts and more from the most reliable fashion retailers on the internet.
We choose based on price, quality, practicality and availability in Canada. As with most sale items, there's limited stock and sizing.
(Note: All prices are subject to change, and some products may differ slightly from the item pictured.)
Shopbop is an online retailer with contemporary women's lines that range from affordable to luxury. Its sales are pretty epic and include hundreds of pieces, so it’s best to sort by size and designer (if there’s a preference). Some standouts right now include Sweaty Betty sweatpants, Madewell ribbed polo shirt, peach-print double band sandals, Good American leather bike shorts, Z Supply tank dress, English Factory mid dress in lavender, Levi’s Wedgie Icon jeans, Free People denim shorts, Reebok Club C Legacy Revenge sneakers, endless rose wrap floral maxi dress, Soludos espadrilles, BB Dakota gingham dress and Z Supply ribbed jumper. Find all the sale stuff at Shopbop.
Note on shipping: There are three shipping options. We recommend choosing the one that includes duty charges. COVID-19 seems to have affected Shopbop’s Canadian shipping process quite significantly and packages can take up to two weeks.
