The holiday season may be over, but January is actually prime time for treating yourself to a little gift. Why? Hundreds of designer pieces are currently on sale as retailers (including Net-a-Porter and Moda Operandi, two high-end sites that rarely offer such deep discounts) make room for the Spring and Resort 2022 collections. So we did a little digging for you and found 22 discounted styles—including “It” designer handbags, trendy boots, cozy cashmere and lots of beautiful dresses—to snap up before they're gone for good.

This logo-adorned tote fits all your daily essentials, plus an extra sweater, book and even your gym shoes.

Tory Burch

2. tory Burch Classic Court Sneakers

Your sneaker collection could do with some refreshing, and these classic navy-and-white kicks are exactly the way to do it. They also come in green and yellow for those who prefer bolder hues.

Saks Fifth Avenue

3. longchamp Mailbox Stabilo Soft Small Crossbody

We love the subtle two-tone effect on this chocolate-and-burgundy carryall because it adds a touch of whimsy to an office-appropriate ensemble.

Shopbop

4. proenza Schouler Matte Viscose Knit Top

Polo collar sweaters offer a way to feel dressed up but still cozy for Zoom meetings, and the gray trim and black buttons on this Proenza Schouler number will really pop on the screen.

Net-a-Porter

5. rag & Bone Rudy Hooded Quilted Shell Down Coat

Upgrade your tattered old puffer to one that has a fun quilted pattern, a chic cinched waist and just so happens to be 40 percent off.

Net-a-Porter

6. jaquemus Risoul Cropped Layered Ribbed Merino Wool Sweater

Get the look of two layered knits without any added bulk with this very cool double knit by Jacquemus that features both a crewneck and a zippered collar on top.

Saks Fifth Avenue

7. paco Rabanne Transparent Disc Tote

We’re calling it now: Paco Rabanne bags will soon be all over your Instagram feed, so you might as well hop on the trend while the brand’s chain-link designs are 40 percent off.

Saks Fifth Avenue

8. altuzarra Lucie Dip-dye Silk Shirtdress

Yes, this midi is still a splurge but that gorgeous brown, cream and rust red ombré pattern will look fabulous long after the tie-dye trend fades from our collective memory, making this a smart investment in our opinion.

Saks Fifth Avenue

9. victoria Beckham Floral Print Button Down Shirt

Spice up your life with a bright floral print that works equally well with office staples as it does with jeans or other casual bottoms.

Saks Fifth Avenue

10. Veronica Beard Winnie Suede Ankle Boots

Don’t forget to treat that stunning olive suede with a weather protectant before you head out into the snow or rain this winter.

Saks Fifth Avenue

11. Boyy Bobby Colorblock Leather Tote

Perfect for those days when all you really want to carry with you is your phone, wallet, keys, and a face mask.

Moda Operandi

12. Ulla Johnson Haven Tie-dyed Cotton Track Pants

The tie-dye trend isn’t over yet, and we love that these tie-waist pants can be dressed up (with a black blouse and coordinating pointed-toe booties) or down (with an off-white sweatshirt and colorful kicks) to fit any of your plans for the week.

Moda Operandi

13. Cecilie Bahnsen Farrah Ruffled Cashmere-wool Cardigan

Pair this cashmere staple with everything from raw-hem jeans to an LBD.

Nordstrom

14. Kate Spade New York Roulette Large Leather Bag

Because who could say no to a sleek new black tote? Especially when that tote is 40 percent off.

Shopbop

15. Jw Anderson Chain Slides

We saw these shoes everywhere last summer, so you know we were over the moon to discover they’re currently almost $300 off. But you’d better move fast—we don’t think these, or the white version, will stay in stock for long.

Nordstrom

16. Baum Und Pferdgarten Coletta Stripe Wool Blend Sweater Vest

If you have yet to hop on the sweater vest trend, we highly suggest you do so now with this cheerful, multi-colored knit from Baum und Pferdgarten.

Nordstrom

17. Longchamp Le Pliaga Cuir Xs Leather Satchel

It was love at first sight for us and this adorable mini. Just think how beautiful that pop of pink will look against your favorite khaki jacket or spring florals?

Saks Fifth Avenue

18. Coach Shearling Monogram Clogs

These cozy clogs are like slippers you can actually wear outside the house, which makes them a no-brainer in our book.

Shopbop

19. Marni Roundneck Sweater

Why settle for one pattern when you can wear four at once? Trust us, this mix-and-match knit is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you wear it.

Shopbop

20. Saks Potts Solvej Coat

This innovative trench coat is actually two pieces in one—that quilted khaki vest can be zipped out of the outer layer and worn on its own, giving you more versatility as the weather warms up.

Moda Operandi

21. Johanna Ortiz Paso Fine Leather Boots

Cowboy boots may be trending this year, but we think this Western knee-high style is timeless enough to wear for years to come. (P.S. They’re also on sale in black.)

Shopbop

22. by Far Amber Bag

This ‘90s-inspired baguette bag mixes trendy with classic, and the neutral tone goes with everything in your wardrobe.
