Wait — Ann Taylor Is Actually So Chic? 9 Pieces I’m Obsessed With RN (All 50% off)
no. 1 is straight out of my rich mom moodboard
I’m not sure if it’s me on the cusp of turning 30 or if Ann Taylor really did have a total rebrand — but the mall brand I used to walk right past has officially caught my attention. What was once an “older lady” stop is now packed with pieces I’d add to my closet in a heartbeat. From office-ready staples to polished weekend looks, everything feels so much fresher and more modern than I ever expected.
Another thing I absolutely love? Ann Taylor’s quality still feels amazing — think polished fabrics, beautiful tailoring, and timeless silhouettes that actually hold up over time. And their inclusive sizing makes it even better: they carry dedicated petite and tall sections so you don’t have to settle for awkward hems or sleeves that never quite fit right.
If you’ve been curious about giving the brand another chance, now’s the perfect time. Right now, they’re running a 50% off everything sale — so you can test out the gorgeousness for yourself without blowing your budget. Keep scrolling to see the 13 chic Ann Taylor pieces I’m completely obsessed with right now!
Chunky Buckle Leather Kitten Heel Sandals
I seriously can’t stop thinking about these buckle strap kitten heels. I refuse to do high heels any longer but still love a little height to my shoes, which is why kitten heels are perfect for me. But of course, I don’t want just as run-of-the-mill heels, I want something cute and reflective of my taste, that’s where these come in. The skinny buckle strap is sheer genius and also totally classic. Even better? They’re 50% off right now.
Acetate Circle Cuff Bracelet Set
I seriously can’t get over how much I’m loving acetate cuff bracelets right now — especially this set, which is 50% off! Stacking these with a basic tee and jeans or pairing them with a slip skirt and tank instantly takes a simple look up ten notches. I love how they add a touch of architectural edge, balancing everyday basics with a bold, sculptural feel.
Suede Textured Buckle Belt
Belts are seriously having a moment right now, and this suede style looks just like the designer picks blowing up on social. It has that polished buckle and rich suede feel you’d expect in a luxury boutique. Styled with crisp trousers or a maxi pencil skirt, it instantly pulls everything together and makes you look so much more put-together. Just don’t sleep on it — sizes are already disappearing!
Cowl Neck Shell
If you ask me, silk cowl neck tops are one of those styles that will always stay effortlessly chic. No matter what’s trending, this is a piece I’ll reach for season after season. Any brand that keeps one in their lineup earns instant points in my book. Dress it up with tailored trousers for a meeting or style it with jean shorts for a high-low look — it does it all.
Striped Short Sleeve Cardigan
Not only does this short-sleeve knit cardigan totally channel that rich mom aesthetic, but it also covers my arms — which, honestly, are not my favorite feature. It’s surprisingly rare to find short-sleeve styles like this, which is wild considering how versatile they are. I love having a piece like this for summer, especially if you’re a little arm-shy. The breathable cotton blend, chic stripes, and polished buttons make it feel extra elevated.
