With temperatures topping off above 80 degrees for much of the country, the thought of buying clothes for winter probably sends a hot, sweaty chill down your spine.

But just because you may not wear something for six more months doesn't mean you shouldn't consider great deals off-season. In fact, it's during the summer that you can find the best deals on winter clothes.

We love the quirky stripes on the top of this J. Lindeberg "Lynfa" V-neck vest. The blue-and-white contrast make for a bold statement on this otherwise classic piece. ($80.90 from Nordstrom.com)
