If you live for the quiet luxury look, your day is about to get so much better. Why? Because the Jenni Kayne Memorial Day sale is finally in full swing, and it includes a 20 percent *sitewide* discount on the brand’s California-cool (and oh-so-minimalist) clothing, shoes and more. The discount is automatically applied at checkout, so you’re guaranteed to come out on top with a cart full of new wardrobe staples, along with plenty of savings, from now through May 26.

In addition to soft sweaters and comfortable sandals, my top Jenni Kayne picks range from the well-constructed Cove dress (was $495, now $396) to these wear-anywhere pleated silk trousers (were $295, now $236). Other must-have—and on-sale—items include the beach-ready sun hat (was $195, now $156) and this breezy seersucker number (was $295, now $236).

Now that I've made your day, here are 13 items to seriously consider buying to make your entire season.

TBH, I would buy this cardigan at full price if I had to. On top of being made of a breathable cotton blend, it has the same cocoon-like fit as the cashmere cardigan (was $495, now $396) that PureWow editors love for its versatile look and high-quality construction. It's slightly oversized, too, making it the perfect layer to throw on over anything on cool summer nights.

There are two main reasons you'll want to spring for this dress. The first: You may not get the chance to buy it for almost $100 less anytime soon. The second: former PureWow Commerce Editor, Olivia Dubyak, says it's a keeper. "It's probably one of the most well-constructed dresses I own, and I feel very comfortable and beautiful in it. If you love a good sundress, you need to own this one," she explains. It's made of 100 percent cotton with a polyester lining and features two pockets to add to its overall stellar functionality.

Everyone needs a go-to pair of pants that can effortlessly go from the office to happy hour to date night, and this one certainly checks all the boxes. The relaxed-fit trousers are made from 100 percent raw silk with a high-waisted cut, wide legs and classic pleating to create a beautiful drape. Not to mention, shoppers call them a "forever staple," and rave about their timeless style. "Raw silk is timeless and this pant is a classic! I recently packed over a dozen outfits for a trip to the Midwest and ended up wearing these pants at least five times. They are a 'one and done' and elevate anything paired with them," writes one.

If you're looking for the perfect summertime dress, you've found it in this seersucker beauty. It's made from a lightweight cotton and rayon blend, so you won't feel weighed down in it even on the hottest days, and I adore the asymmetrical tiers that give the skirt an extra bit of volume. The brand notes that it runs true to size, and that it's fully lined, so you don't have to stress about anything showing through the light colors.

This timeless button-down, designed with a boyfriend fit and made to be part of your daily uniform, is made from a breathable 100 percent cotton fabric that buyers love for its soft feel. Reviewers also call out that it has a clean, crisp look that doesn't feel frumpy despite its oversized cut. Needless to say, this one just moved straight to the top of my wish list.

While these leather sandals are on the pricey side, shoppers say they're well worth it—not least of all because of the molded leather footbed that reportedly softens and molds to your feet the more you wear them. The knot detailing on the upper takes them up a notch, making these slides stylish and versatile enough to wear with everything from casual grocery store fits to fancy vacation outfits.

This slouchy, 100 percent cotton sweater is the Coastal Grandmother-approved staple you need for layering after the sun goes down this season. The nautical patterned knit fabric should feel perfectly breathable, while the cropped fit is ideal for pairing with your favorite high-waisted shorts or linen pants. Plus, it has a slightly boxy cut, so layering it over a swimsuit or tank should be no problem.

At first glance, you'll notice this sun hat's beach-ready texture and bucket shape. After you wear it for the first time, you'll appreciate it even more because the brim is slightly flexible, per reviewers. This means you can adjust it to your liking and pack it in your carry-on without worrying about it losing its shape. As far as the fit? One shopper says, “It is like the Goldilocks story..not too big, not too small….simply the perfect size from the crown, to the brim.”

Don't miss the chance to save $75 on this button-front midi dress that you're sure to find yourself reaching for again and again this season. It's made from lightweight, 100 percent linen that you'll really appreciate on those extra-warm days, plus the back features a buttoned belt, so you can cinch in the shape as you please. And yes, those are roomy, functional pockets you can slip your phone into on a summer stroll.

These crisp pleated shorts, made of a lightweight cotton poplin fabric, will quickly become the pair you want to wear everywhere this summer. What makes them so great? Well, besides the fact that buyers say the fabric feels high-quality and thick without being overly heavy, they're also a super versatile style that can easily be dressed up or down. Plus, the inseam is practically perfect if you take this reviewer's word for it: "Love these shorts! The style is so chic and the fit is amazing...They are the perfect length of short as well," they shared.

You can never have too many tees, especially when we're talking about this top-rated pick made from a cotton/polyester blend fabric. It's designed to have the perfect "lived-in" look and the soft feel of a vintage T-shirt, per the brand—and that it does, according to the more than 700 happy buyers who have not regretted stocking up on it in as many colors as they could. And now that it's 20 percent off, now's the perfect time to pick it up in a color (or two) for yourself.

The brand wasn’t lying when it named this number, as I can see myself wearing it, well, every day. Crafted from a blended wool/viscose/polyamide/cashmere material, this essential style strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lightweight. Just take it from this buyer who insists, "It is light enough to be worn in the early summer and fall and toasty enough to be worn in the winter."

In need of a go-to summer bag you can carry wherever you're headed? Well, don't pass up your chance to score nearly $120 off this spacious crescent bag in an ivory canvas fabric that's perfect for the season. It features a twisted leather rope handle that adds a unique touch, while the extra-large size means you can easily fit a laptop, beach read or whatever else you might need inside (with room to spare, too).
