The 20 Best Labor Day Fashion Sales I’m Actually Shopping RN
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 sale—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 revisit those neglected shopping carts and finally hit *purchase*. And if you don’t already have a massive wishlist of clothes and accessories, Labor Day weekend lets you score some pretty sweet deals from allll your favorite brands—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 summer-y 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.
Look, I love fancy activewear as much as the next person, but almost $100 for some leggings isn’t exactly cheap. My advice? Check out Alo Yoga’s sale section. While the brand doesn’t have any official Labor Day promotions, they have tons of cute stuff on sale for up to 40% off.
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 RN (I’m talking thousands, ppl!), including top brands like Levi’s and Adidas. From sweater dresses to sneakers, I spotted some pretty sweet discounts to score this Labor Day.
Listen up: Anthropologie is offering an extra 40% off sale items during Labor Day Weekend, which means you can snag some cute new clothes and accessories for as low as $5—though, IMO, the best deals are on dresses and fall footwear (like these cuties below).
The Bloomingdales sale section is one of the best-kept shopping secrets if you wanna find designer items at a discount—and RN you can get up to 70% off sooo much cute stuff during its Labor Day sale. I found plenty of worthy deals under $150, including a stunning suede shoulder bag that I juuust might have to add to my fall purse rotation.
I know Cozy Earth isn’t technically a fashion brand, but I’d be remiss not to tell you about this ~exclusive~ deal. Now through Monday, September 9, Cosmo readers can save 35% off sitewide at Cozy Earth’s Labor Day sale with code COSMOLOVES. This includes all kinds of loungewear from joggers to fuzzy socks, but I’m partial to the brand’s matching pajama sets—early holiday gift shopping, anyone?
Stock your closet with cozy autumn finds without paying full price: Everlane’s Labor Day sale is offering 25% off sitewide. Plus, I found even deeper discounts in its sale section, including a cashmere sweater for under $100 (!) and leather boots for under $80 (!!). Some of the longest-lasting pieces in my closet are from Everlane, so trust me when I say the quality is immaculate.
Calling all Swifties! Activewear brand Halara has made quite the splash for its trendy athleisure, especially after Taylor Swift wore one of its skirts to Coachella this year. And thanks to its Labor Day sale, you can shop up to 80% off leggings, shorts, sports bras, and more—and yes, that includes a certain Tay-approved mini skirt.
If you’ve been waiting for your sign to upgrade your activewear collection, this is it: lululemon’s “We Made Too Much” section just got a *major* restock in time for Labor Day. This hidden gem has special prices on all kinds of our favorite pieces (hint: even the brand’s best-selling Align collection). But don’t delay if something catches your eye—these items tend to sell out super fast.
I can always count on Madewell to have some seriously incredible sales, and this Labor Day Weekend is no different. The retailer has a few different deals going on RN, so here’s the breakdown: you can take an extra 40% off sale items, 25% off fall essentials with code LONGWEEKEND, and an extra 50% off select denim—pretty dang impressive, if you ask me.
Treat yourself to some bling with Mazin Jewels’ sitewide Labor Day sale—just use the code LABORDAY at checkout for 20% off. The brand has tons of pretty pieces, but my pick is the Pave Snake Ring. Worn by none other than Blondie herself, this sparkly piece is perfect for anyone entering their Reputation era this season.
Even though Nordstrom doesn’t have an ~official~ Labor Day sale happening this weekend, there are still deals a’plenty in the retailer’s sale section. Personally, I’m a sucker for the Nordies footwear section, but I also spotted discounts on a TikTok-famous House of CB corset dresses.
Just in time for Labor Day Weekend, Reformation’s annual summer sale dropped prices up to 70% off—aren’t we lucky? The brand’s dresses, jeans, and accessories sell out like crazy, but I managed to find some worthy deals that are still in stock (for now!).
Revolve is one of my fav places to shop for (aka drool over) really gorgeous wedding guest dresses—but the retailer also carries handbags, bathing suits, and beyond. I found markdowns on coveted brands like Norma Kamali, AGOLDE, and Frankies Bikinis to shop now. Don’t forget to check out Revolve’s denim sale, which is offering up to 50% select styles.
Shopping at Saks makes me feel super fancy—but now you can skip the spendy price tags with its discounted site, Saks Off 5th. And this weekend, save 75% on tons of designer labels including Tom Ford, Valentino, and Gucci. Plus, I saw plenty of deals from up-and-coming brands, like the viral beaded STAUD bag for under $100.
Even though Kim Kardashian’s ever-popular lingerie and lounge label SKIMS isn’t hosting any official Labor Day sales, the brand is making up for it with an absolutely stacked sale section. There are dozens of $50-and-under deals, so you can have yourself a lil shopping spree without breaking the bank—thanks, Kimberly!
Tragically, shapewear brand Spanx isn’t having any official Labor Day sales—BUT, there are still lots of great stuff to be found in its sale section. I saw up to 40% off office-friendly pants, sporty tennis dresses, supportive swimwear, and more. Sizes range from XS to 3XL.
When it comes to quality leather footwear that’s actually worth the splurge, look no further than Stuart Weitzman. The brand’s outlet website is offering an extra 30% off sitewide for Labor Day Weekend, so you can zhuzh up your fall outfits with some high-end boots, loafers, and ballet flats at a discount—just use the code LDW30 at checkout.
Hear me out: While you might not think of Walmart as a *fashion destination*, the retailer happens to have a surprisingly stylish array of in-house labels, as well as familiar brands like Reebok and Levi’s. And most importantly, Walmart has some of the most affordable clothing deals of Labor Day 2024, starting at $10.
Good ol’ Zappos is always a reliable place to shop for shoe deals on all kinds of top brands, such as Veja, Ryka, and Calvin Klein. This Labor Day Weekend, I spied up to 60% off sneakers, slingbacks, and more—plus fall fashion essentials like outerwear.
