There's certainly no shortage of buzzy Labor Day sales to shop this long weekend, but if you can only make time for two, take my advice: Make them the Nordstrom End of Season Clearance event and the Nordstrom Rack Clear the Rack sale. Both savings events are stacked with name-brand and designer styles that are as fall-ready as they are wallet-friendly (ahem, I'm talking discounts of up to 75 percent on Adidas, Longchamp and Marc Jacobs), and at these prices, they're not likely to stick around for long. Lucky for you, I scoured both sales to bring you the top 12 scores worth buying—stat.

Cool, casual and pre-cuffed, these high-waist stretch jeans can easily be paired with both sneakers and booties for every fall occasion.

Natori bras are the crème de la crème of comfort, so don’t pass up the 40 percent discount on this soft, wireless style that offers plenty of support.

Featuring plush shearling on the inside and waterproof suede on the outside, these slip-ons are the indoor-outdoor shoes of my dreams—and I can’t believe they’re under $80 right now.

Chic meets cozy in this wrap-style cashmere sweater that’s giving total balletcore vibes. One buyer also notes that it’s the “perfect weight,” so I'd say it’s worth the investment at a whopping $165 off.

You’re going to need a good barn coat for all those apple- and pumpkin-picking outings. This rugged denim number with roomy patch pockets and a dual zip-and-snap closure is just the ticket.

Shockingly low price tag aside—$35?!—these Adidas kicks caught my eye for their trendy autumnal color combo and retro rubber sole. Thankfully, hundreds of reviewers confirm that they feel as good as they look.

It’s not every day that you can find a luxe leather Longchamp bag for $135 off, so you might want to channel your inner French girl and spring for this classic crossbody with an adjustable strap while you still can.

Sure, this super-soft set may technically be billed as sleepwear, but no one has to know that when you inevitably don the drapey tee and relaxed bottoms for school drop-offs and trips to Starbucks.

With its asymmetric neckline, ruched details and textured fabric, this dress is equal parts unique and sophisticated. No wonder one reviewer couldn’t wait to pack it for a work trip.

Designed to take on the elements in style, this water-resistant coat comes equipped with a drawstring hood to keep you covered and a cinchable waist to keep things flattering.

I love the ‘70s aesthetic of this stretch midi skirt, along with the A-line cut that makes it great for the office. But, most of all, I love that nearly $125 markdown.

You can never go wrong with a sleek leather tote for work or travel—especially if it’s as timeless as this Marc Jacobs pick, which shoppers praise for its impeccable quality and carryall capacity.
