23 Pretty Transitional Pieces Hiding in Neiman Marcus's Sale Section
Shop transitional pieces that are perfect for this in-between period.


It might be nearly the end of March, but spring weather is nowhere in sight. I'm still stuck wearing the same heavy coats and thick sweaters I've had in rotation since December—and I'm simply desperate to wear some lightweight, colorful spring clothes. To tide me over until spring really arrives, I’ve been shopping the sale section at Neiman Marcus to fill my wardrobe with warm-weather pieces I can save for later, plus a few transitional basics I can layer right now.
While I'm iffy on the actual forecast, I love the challenge of getting dressed during transitional weather. My key to mastering the time between winter and spring (and summer and fall, by association) is having a well-stocked closet full of layer-able basics I can wear in multiple ways. Think: slip dresses that can easily be worn under a cashmere sweater or on their own, or denim maxi skirts perfect for wearing over tights or with white sneakers. A classic blazer can work wonders when layered over a white T-shirt or a fitted knit turtleneck sweater, too. These are classic, high-quality pieces you’ll buy once and wear for years, so it’s best to snag them on sale.
That’s where Neiman Marcus comes in. It has one of my favorite sale sections to browse because it’s always filled with designers I love like Vince, Rails, and Tanya Taylor, all at prices my wallet can get behind. So, I scoured hundreds of products in the section to find the most underrated hits that are still in stock. Keep scrolling for all of the best options.
The burnt orange color of this slip dress from Rails is great for transitional times because it works with bold black and white accessories. Strappy sandals will take into warmer weather, while black boots and tights make it feel appropriate for colder days.
Denim skirts are having a moment, but Tanya Taylor's option is going to stand the test of time. My favorite way to wear skirts like this is with a pair of knee-high boots for an elongated silhouette, but they will look just as good with a pair of sneakers in the office.
How pretty is this white skirt from JOSLIN? The delicate floral embroidery on the skirt is so sweet. Shop it with the matching top (also on sale), or just team it with a black tank top.
The best spring jackets are the ones you can wear over your summer essentials without overheating. This one from Rails fits the bill, and it's on sale for $90 off.
Rain jackets don't need to be uncool. This one from Blanc Noir is ready for wet weather thanks to the high neck and storm-proofed cuffs, but the gold accents make it feel fashion-forward.
Button-down shirts are a wardrobe staple, but this cropped one from Rag & Bone feels less formal thanks to the shorter hemline. At a sale price of $140, it's a great way to spice up your going-out rotation.
Vests are an underrated hero in my closet. This one from Theory would work with a pair of white jeans or office-ready black trousers (and it's on sale for $231).
Icy blue is one of spring 2024's most dominant color trends. Master the shade by choosing a piece that you would wear anyway—like this slip dress from Vince.
I consider this Kobi Halperin number the perfect day dress. It's in a neutral colorway, has an easy silhouette, and has enough special detailing to make it feel fresh among your spring dress selection. Oh, and it's on sale now for $448 from an original price of almost $700.
Styling this button-down from MOTHER with a pair of light wash jeans and a pair of loafers would make the perfect summer work outfit. The breezy fabric is ideal for layering underneath a sweater, too, on colder days.
