Memorial Day clothing sales 2023: Our guide, plus deals to shop now, from Athleta to Tory Burch
We're careening toward Memorial Day weekend, and things have never looked sunnier. Not only is it the unofficial kickoff to summer, but it's also a magic moment for snagging discounts across product categories like home, electronics and, yes, even fashion. Tons of top retailers — Levi's, Nordstrom, Coach, Lululemon to name a few — are running major sales. “Big retailers will also make a last push to get rid of spring styles before the summer season, so be on the lookout for warm-weather dresses, athleisure, swimwear, and other spring-seasonal styles that can easily be worn in the summer,” Kristen Gall, Rakuten's Shopping and Retail Expert told Yahoo Style.
With such steep discounts on so many beloved brands happening at once, it can be hard to navigate the options; that's where we come in! To help you find the best deals around, we put together a handy guide on all the sales, below. Take a peek before you shop, and make the most of your Memorial Day dollars.
When do Memorial Day fashion sales start?
“Many Memorial Day sales have already kicked off, with the rest starting on Friday and going through the long weekend,” says Gall. Shopping Expert Shannon Dwyer, at RetailMeNot, concurs: “We’ve seen Memorial Day Weekend sales from major fashion retailers starting more than the week before the big holiday weekend this year.”
What types of clothes are likely to be on sale?
According to Dwyer, it’s the perfect time to upgrade your warm-weather wardrobe for way less. “You can find spring apparel that retailers are discounting to make room for summer apparel, including warm-weather dresses, fashionable jumpsuits, tops, jeans, shorts and kids apparel,” she says.
Gall agreed, but also said this weekend is a great chance to stock up on wintery items: “While it is generally a great time to buy warm-weather essentials, I’d also be on the lookout for deals on fall/winter clothes such as coats, sweaters, etc.” she says. “Since most shoppers will be focused on transitioning their wardrobe into summer, it’s a great time to score major deals on timeless cold-weather essentials.”
