Universal Standard is the GOAT for basics. Whether you’re looking for a perfect tee that will last you until the end of time or a versatile dress that feels like butter, Universal Standard has you covered. And what better time to refresh your wardrobe for fall (it’ll be Labor Day before you know it) or replace a few staples than the brand’s annual sample sale, which is running from July 21 to August 2? (Hint hint: The time is now.)
Universal Standard’s sample sale runs the wardrobe gamut, offering deeply slashed prices on all essentials (we’re talking tops, bottoms, dresses, blazers, outerwear, activewear, and more—up to 75 percent off). Not only do we love that US always delivers when it comes to high-quality, elevated basics, but we also appreciate that the brand takes the word “universal” seriously. The brand’s mission is to create a shopping experience that’s free of anxiety and intimidation: Size inclusivity and representation is the number one priority (you can shop sizes 00 to 40), and the brand has never deviated from that.
We could sing our praises for Universal Standard all day, but let’s talk shopping. Here are some of our favorite sample sale pieces we’re eyeing.
Shop the Universal Standard sale
Sammy T-Shirt Dress — $58.00
We love a T-shirt dress, but we adore a T-shirt dress with a slit that gives it an extra touch of sophistication. Wear it around the house or dress it up with a leather jacket and some boots—you choose. Made from a Peruvian cotton-modal blend, this dress is so soft you’ll never want to take it off. Oh, and did we mention it has a pocket?
Long Sleeve Cambria Top — $89.00
When in doubt, go with with a crisp white top that complements everything you own. This long sleeve shirt is made with a smooth twill fabric and features a subtle V-neck perfect for a coffee date or a Zoom call with a coworker.
Bridget Luxe Fine Terry Joggers — $67.00
One can never have too many joggers—everyone knows this to be true. These joggers exhibit just the right amount of structure and stretch. Comfy enough to sleep in, fitted enough to call an outfit. We’ll take a few of these, please.
Meg Short Blazer — $136.00
Channel your inner Shiv Roy (her style at least) with this blazer that’s begging to be worn to after-work drinks and interviews you’re going to nail. Unlike other blazers that tend to be stiff and unforgiving, Universal Standard’s is constructed with a stretchy fabric that gives more mobility and a lot of comfort.
Amy Pullover Hoodie — $59.00
As soon as the weather dips below 65, many of us make the wise choice to live in hoodies and usually rotate between a few, depending on moods and outfits. This taupe hoodie is a nice neutral that goes with everything you own, and since it’s made of a cozy fleece fabric, it’ll be a hard sell taking it off—ever.
Next-To-Naked Bike Shorts — $49.00
Bike shorts and oversized tees became the ubiquitous WFH uniform as we navigated another hotter-than-ever summer, and this year is unfortunately no different. Battle the heat and stay comfy with these sweat-wicking shorts that feel like you’re, as the name suggests, naked. They’re perfect for lounging as well as working out (and yes, biking, too).
Fatima Vegan Leather Camisole — $42.00
If you have a dozen black tanks already (don’t we all?), spice things up a little with this elevated vegan leather camisole. Just because it’s dressier doesn’t mean it’s any less comfortable, though. Made with a soft and stretchy material, this top will make you look and feel more polished without the compromise.
CeeCee Midi Bias Skirt — $78.00
This midi skirt offers color and boldness, so consider this your new favorite statement piece. Made from a buttery-soft liquid satin, this is truly a no-fuss skirt. It’s even machine-washable.
Rainier Short Hooded Puffer — $136.00
You’ll thank future you when it’s cold and rainy and you’ve got this stunning orange puffer that’ll keep you warm and dry. Aside from the practicality of the jacket (it’s got a two-way zipper so you can open from both ends, and the hood is removable), we love that it adds a splash of color and whimsy to our outerwear collection.
