The new season calls for a new wardrobe! And lucky for you (and me) Nordstrom Rack has a massive Clear the Rack sale on now that will score you unbeatable savings on all of the staples you need. That's right, from now through Sept. 1 you can save up to 75 percent on everything from high-quality jeans to sweaters, boots and so much more.

Not sure how you want to refresh your look for the new season? No worries. I've scoured the entire sale and hand-selected the best finds for you to add to your cart (and closet) ASAP. Just know that these seven items—including these must-have Frame Le Easy jeans (were $228, now from $45) and these totally chic Sam Edelman loafers (were $150, now from $29)—are almost certainly going to go fast, so you better get your card ready.

I'm obsessed with Frame jeans for their flattering fit and stretchy fabric that doesn't feel constricting. So naturally, when I saw this pair on sale for as low as $45, I immediately added them to my cart—especially after seeing buyers confirm just how good they really are. "You can tell that these jeans are very well constructed. The stretch is phenomenal because it bounces right back after a wash. I’ve worn these jeans probably about 15 times in the last few months and they’ve held up well," shared one in a review.

Made from a lightweight organic cotton and linen blend, this longline cardigan is the ideal piece for tricky transitional fall weather. At up to. $175 off, though, I expect plenty of other shoppers have their eyes on it too, so I suggest scooping it up now before it's gone.

PureWow readers adore these staple booties for their versatile style that goes with practically everything, and you simply can't miss the deal on them now. What makes them so good? Well, besides the fact that they're water-resistant, the boots have a pull-on style that makes them easy to slide on right before you head out the door, and reviewers rave over their comfort.

It's always a good idea to have a crisp button-down shirt in your closet to rely on, and I won't be skipping over this Rag & Bone one that normally costs $228, but is marked down as low as $36 during the sale. You're sure to get plenty of wear out of it from the office to weekend brunches, and it's made from 100 percent cotton, so it'll feel breathable through it all.

I probably don't have to explain why it's a good idea to pick up this stylish black dress while it's on deal. But just in case you need a bit of convincing, it's not only a super versatile style that can be easily dressed up or down by swapping out your shoes and a few accessories, but it was thoughtfully designed with a stretchy, machine-washable cotton material, lining and a hidden zipper at the back. So of course I already have it in my cart—and you definitely should, too.

Sam Edelman shoes are some of the comfiest I've ever worn, and seeing a discount this good on these loafers has me immediately whipping out my credit card. They come in a bunch of different colors and patterns, too, so you might want to scoop up more than one before they sell out.

Everyone needs a good pair of super comfy pants to round out their seasonal capsule wardrobe, and you might want to make this pair from Z by Zella yours. They're made of a thick scuba-knit fabric that will keep you warm as the temperatures cool, and according to reviewers, they have a super soft feel, too. "These have become my favorite yoga-type leisure pants to wear around the house and on my daily walks. They are soft, have a nice drape, and feel great to wear. The pockets are a bonus," shared one.
