holiday gift guide

Black Friday can surface a lot of “deals” that are actually not that impactful—like $5 off of a $20 sweater that you’ll probably only wear once or twice. Buying cheap clothes for the sake of deals is not only financially irresponsible, it’s bad for the environment.

A far better approach: Get the most out of your discount shopping by investing in high-quality, high price designer items that you’ll wear and love for years to come. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of our favorite work-appropriate clothes on Shopbop—the high-end online clothing hub—and its brother site for men, East Dane. Their “Buy More, Save More” sale—which runs through Tuesday, 12/3—will get you 25% off full-price items and up to 75% off sale items with the code MORE19. So forget about the fast fashion deals, and spring for these discounted designer blazers, work bags, and shoes.

IRO Iquitos Jacket
This cozy jacket has the cut of a relaxed blazer but feels like a warm, soft sweater.

It looks great over jeans and a t-shirt, or dressed up with slacks and heels. ($323.40 before discount)

Stuart Weitzman Reserve Stretch Suede Boots
Over-the-knee boots take any outfit from normal to chic. Black suede helps soften the look of these Stuart Weitzman boots, so they’re still military-like without being too over-the-top. A short, chunky heel gives you a little height without killing your toes. ($695 before discount)

Coach Metropolitan Duffle Bag
We already rounded up some of our favorite weekender bags, but if you’re looking for something bigger to tote with you through the holidays, this Coach Metropolitan Bag is our top choice. One of leather’s best qualities is that it doesn’t wear out nearly as quickly as fabric, which means this (discounted) investment will pay for itself when it’s still going strong (and looking great) a decade from now. ($695 before discount)
