As an editor, I am always looking ahead. It is my job to keep an eye out for the next big trend that is about to go mainstream. But I like to suggest how to dress in the here-and-now. In other words, now is the last chance to pull out your trendy jort pants and mesh flats. So, to convince you that summer isn't over yet, I've rounded up a few summer pieces right before they go on sale.

A little inside information: many retailers are currently running under-the-hood sales in advance of the big Labor Day weekend sales. Brands want to pave the way for new fall collections, so discounts are aplenty during this transitional period. It didn't take much digging to find trendy summer pieces on sale: I found everything from tailored vests and new trendy sneakers to Emily Ratakowski-approved parachute pants and must-buy sunglasses. Most of these items can also be worn in the fall.
