As shopping editors, our process for buying new clothes looks something like this: add a zillion items to cart, decide everything is too expensive, and wait for a sale. Well, I’m here to remind you that Labor Day Weekend is here, which means now is the time revisit those neglected shopping carts and finally hit *purchase.*
To help you score the best deals, we’re highlighting 12 Labor Day fashion sales actually worth your time and money. With summer winding down, we’re prioritizing sweaters, boots, jackets, and other fall must-haves before they go back to full price. We’re also eyeing some special occasion looks, since buzzy retailers like Abercrombie and Revolve are slashing prices on cute fall wedding guest dresses, too.
Most of the deals end on Monday, so don’t delay—shop now while these sales are still hot!
Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie fans, listen up. Now through September 2, you’ll automatically score $25 off orders over $100 and $50 off orders over $150 (yes, nearly everything sitewide is fair game). Abercrombie is our absolute favorite brand for denim, so we recommend snagging a pair of jeans before the deal ends.
Amazon
When it comes to fashion finds on a budget, few do it better than Amazon. The mega retailer has a crazy amount of clothing deals this weekend (I’m talking thousands, ppl!), including celeb-worn brands like Levi’s, Coach, and Heaven Mayhem.
Everlane
Some of the longest-lasting pieces in our closets are from Everlane, so trust us when we say the quality is immaculate. And right now, you can score up to 70% off staple pieces during the brand’s end-of-summer sale.
lululemon
Technically, lululemon is not having a Labor Day sale—but the activewear brand’s “We Made Too Much” section did just get a *major* restock. This hidden gem has special prices on tons of viral pieces, including Align leggings and Define jackets. But don’t wait if something catches your eye—these items tend to sell out super fast.
Madewell
We can always count on Madewell for some seriously good deals, and this Labor Day is no different. The retailer is offering 30% off dozens of fall sweaters, layering tees, and jeans with the promo code LONGWEEKEND, and an extra 40% off existing sale items—pretty good excuse to buy a new outfit, if you ask us.
Nordstrom
Nordstrom’s Summer Sale is packed with deals now through September 9. The discounts on boots, bags, sweaters, and activewear are just as good as those we saw during the Anniversary Sale—so go ahead and grab everything you need for fall in one fell swoop.
Reformation
Just in time for Labor Day Weekend, Reformation’s annual summer sale
dropped prices up to 70% off—aren’t we lucky? The celeb-loved brand’s dresses, sweaters, jeans, and shoes sell out insanely fast, but we managed to find some covetable finds that are still in stock (for now).
Revolve
Revolve is one of our fav places to shop for (and drool over) gorgeous wedding guest dresses—but the retailer also carries all sorts of other goodies. End summer right by snatching steep markdowns on party outfits, handbags, jewelry, athleisure, or whatever else your wardrobe needs.
Saks Off 5th
Shopping at Saks makes us feel super fancy—but now you can skip the spendy price tags with its discounted site, Saks Off 5th. This weekend, save up to 80% on designer labels like Gucci, Balenciaga, Jacquemus, and Chloé. If you’ve been itching for some snazzy new sunglasses or a grown-up wallet, consider this your sign to hit checkout.
Shopbop
Where are the fashion girlies going for designer bags these days? Shopbop. Right now, the retailer has major markdowns on it-labels like Ganni, Staud, and Marc Jacobs—so why not find yourself a new signature piece?
SKIMS
Kim Kardashian’s ever-popular lingerie and loungewear label, SKIMS, has an absolutely stacked sale section. There are dozens of $50-and-under deals, so you can have yourself a lil Labor Day weekend shopping spree without breaking the bank—thanks, Kimberly!
Zappos
You can always count on good ol’ Zappos for shoe deals. Right now, we’re spying sneakers, boots, and flats from brands like New Balance and Dr. Martens for up to half off.
