Labor Day weekend has some of the best sales of the year - it's new product, it's often what you actually need, yet it's the kind of pricing usually seen when brands want to get rid of last season's merchandise. Below I share my picks of the best Labor Day Weekend sales and some suggestions on the best buys at each retailer. Happy shopping!
- Aldo: Buy two items, get your second for 40% off. Did you know Aldo carries wide fit shoes? It's also one of my favorite places for dressy clutches at great prices; I love this one that looks like a folded magazine, this black beaded one that has an optional shoulder chain, and this elegant metallic one that will be perfect for every event on your holiday social calendar (plus classic enough that it will work for years to come).
- American Eagle: Take 25-60% off everything plus free shipping and returns. If you think American Eagle is just for young adults, think again. Their great size range and lengths plus their shapes made for curves and extensive style range make them a great brand for all ages. Check out their whole selection at this link. They have almost every style I mentioned in my fall denim trends post plus plenty of great jeggings and skinny jeans. Shop their denim which is 25% off at this link.
- Anthropologie: Take 50% off sale items (final sale only), plus 20% off furniture, décor & select bedding. While final sale of summer things may sound scary, these prices are amazing and many pieces are things you can wear for several weeks now and still look chic next year. My picks for the most wearable through the rest of 2019 while being just a good pick:
-
Banana Republic: 40% off EVERYTHING + free 3-5 day shipping on $150+ with code BRSHIP. Banana Republic offers up to size 20/2XL and often has petite and tall offerings.
- Loving this vegan suede moto in three of the hottest neutrals of the season. And fellow short-armed people rejoice, it comes in petite!
- Have you seen Banana's True Hues collection? Camis, intimates, and shoes in five different skintones.
- I love Banana's tees. This one would look so chic under a blazer, these are soft and chic and come in some pretty perfect stripes, my sister has this one and loves it, and I love this one too (get it?).
- They may not be known for their footwear, but Banana Republic makes high quality, comfortable shoes. I have pairs a decade old I still hold on to because they're amazing. This season I'm loving these slouchy suede boots, these snakeskin booties, this perfect leopard low-heel pump, these badass zebra loafers, and this chic alternative to rain boots.
- BaubleBar: 15% off your full-priced order with promo code SUNSHINE. I really appreciate this is one of the few costume jewelry retailers that offers extended ring sizes going up to an 11. I find their costume jewelry high quality, owning pieces for several years. They're the first place I go when looking for fun earrings and I got this phone case and love it.
- Boden: Receive 20% off select full-priced items plus free shipping and returns over $49 with code R8W3. Boden RARELY goes on sale, so this is major and worth checking out.
- Chico's: They have a bunch of offers taking place. This link will take you to their swim sale where select styles are 50% off. This link will take you to select items on sale for as low as $19.99. And if you go to this link, their jewelry is buy one get one 50% off!
- Colleen Rothschild: 20% off the ENTIRE SITE with promo code WORK20. The products I use regularly are the cleansing balm (religiously every night), the extreme recovery cream (my favorite summer/fall night cream and I often use it on days when I know I won't be leaving the house), the retinol oil (read my review here), and the eye cream. Their body scrub is total decadence in a tube.
- Gap: 40% off everything with code DAYOFF plus an extra 50% off all markdowns. A few of the new releases that caught my eye:
-
Lands' End: Receive 40% off full-priced styles with code PARTY and PIN 1538.
- I am a big fan of Lands' End's ponte dresses. Heavyweight knit that looks polished enough for the office but comfy and easy care. Many have pockets and there are several styles in tall and petite as well as regular and plus sizes.
- L.L. Bean: 20% off your entire order, including sale with code GREAT20.
- LOFT: Take 40% off almost everything and 50% off other looks with code LONGWEEKEND.
- Old Navy: Get 50% off jeans, dresses, and tees. They've updated their jean collection and it's pretty fantastic. I am loving their state- and city-themed graphic tees too!
- Soma: When you buy two or more items, you'll get 50% off the highest-priced piece. Use promo code 88074. I recently shared my favorite bras from Soma in this post; I also highly recommend their Essential Leggings (three lengths to choose from), their Cool Nights pajamas, and their Vanishing Edge panties.
- Talbots: 25% off your entire purchase, sale merchandise included. I am loving so much of Talbots' New Arrivals, I can't wait to style a few for you very soon. Some of the things that caught my eye:
- Torrid: 30% off full-price and an extra 50% off sale price merchandise, no code needed. I know many of you are a fan of their jeans, love their wide-calf boots, and swear by their intimates!
- Universal Standard: Woot, Universal Standard RARELY has a sale so this is worth checking out! From their special Labor Day collection at this link, buy two pieces and save 15%, with code LD15, buy five pieces and get 25% off with LD25! The collection has a lot of work-friendly pieces. Shop here.
- Warp + Weft: take 60% off site wide with the code LABORDAY60. If you're not familiar with this brand, they are great fit, great design, size-inclusive, and all styles are under $100.
