BRB, Spending All My $$$ On These *Insane* Labor Day Fashion Sales

Must read

As a self-proclaimed ~professional shopper~ turned shopping editor, my process for buying new clothes looks a little something like this: I add a zillion things to my cart, decide everything is too expensive, and wait for a saleā€”of which there are so! many! these days.

Well, I’m here to remind you that Labor Day Weekend is here, which means now is the time uncover those neglected shopping carts and finally hit *purchase*. If you don’t already have a massive wish list of clothes and accessories, Labor Day weekend lets you score some pretty sweet deals from allll your favorite brandsā€”I’m talking up to 80% off at Revolve, Anthropologie, Everlane, and Abercrombie (yes, really!).

Now that fall is right around the corner, I recommend stocking up on cozy sweaters, sturdy boots, and even wedding guest dresses before they return to full price. It’s also a great time to save on summery items like swimsuits as brands clear out their inventory for the new season.

Once Labor Day weekend comes to an end on Monday, many of these deals will be long gone. So don’t delay: start shopping while these fashion sales are still hot!

Prep your wardrobe for fall (and football szn!) with Abercrombie’s Labor Day sale. You can take 15% off *almost* everything sitewide, plus 20% off all NFL gear. Abercrombie is my absolute favorite brand when it comes to denim, so I’d also recommend snagging a pair of jeans while they’re on sale.
