It's almost time to start layering pieces and swap our open-toe sandals for closed-toe shoes. As fall quickly approaches, we're taking stock of the clothes [1] that will transition into the new season and those we need to store away. We'll be keeping the sweater vests and basic camis while we shop for heavier items like thick sweaters [2], boxy cardigans, and sherpa hoodies.
American Eagle currently has all these pieces at an approachable price point, so we went on a little shopping spree. Expect classic denim jackets, $45 cardigans, and $50 wide-leg jeans ahead.
