Memorial Day Sales You’ll Actually Want to Shop

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Memorial Day sale season couldn’t come at a better time. For most of the country, it finally feels like summer; that means it’s also finally time to get a move on with anything you still need for the season, from sandals to sunglasses to cotton sweaters for your freezing cold office. (You do want to get three full months out of that cute new bathing suit, right?)

Just like any national holiday, retailers are taking full advantage of our extra attention — and extra time to shop, thanks to a day off. Literally any brand with a storefront or website is probably having some kind of sale. But who has time for all that web browsing when the forecast is sunny and you’re not just killing time at your 9-to-5? To help you cut through all the fuzz, we’re only listing the sales that are actually worth your time, either because the discounts are so good, or because the stuff on offer really deserves a look.

The list is organized by discount: The biggest deals are at the top. But read through all the way to the end — a lot of smaller brands that rarely offer sales are offering 25–25% off, and they’re all definitely worth a look! Check back through the weekend, too, as we’ll be updating this list as more sales go live.

Garmentory: Take up to 70% off select product. Garmentory provides an e-commerce platform for some of the coolest brands and boutiques across the country and the world, so you’ll definitely want to hit this one up.

Moda Operandi: Take 50% off select items, and an extra 20% off with code EXTRA20. MO’s yearly spring sale is underway, with lots of designer clothing at half-price.

Baublebar: Take up to 70% off select items. Sure, some of the stuff is a bit costume-y, but there are some real gems in the mix too (like these tassel earrings that a bunch of Racked editors have). Sale prices start at $10.

Hanky Panky: Up to 65% off select products. If you’re a fan of the brand, it’s a good time to stock up.

H&M: Up to 60% and free shipping with code 4791 (Note: free shipping ends on 5/28). H&M has a ton of good stuff right now, and even the homewares are on sale, so it’s definitely worth taking a look.

Steven Alan: Up to 50% off everything online. Since the sale is sitewide, there’s a lot of good stuff to choose from; just keep in mind the brand recently pivoted to focus solely on the in-house line (which means no bags or shoes for women online at the moment).

The Outnet: Take an extra 40% off. Net-a-Porter’s sister site has tons of already marked down items from brands like Marni, Isabel Marant, and Valentino, so the extra 40% means there are steals to be had.

Nordstrom: Take up to 40% off spring items. This twice-yearly sale features over 200 pages of designer markdowns.

Goop: Up to 40% off select items. Everything is still pretty expensive, but if you’re a fan of the brand you’re going to want to check this sale out. Highlights include lots of Stella McCartney, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and of course Goop’s selection of home goods.

Opening Ceremony: Up to 40% off select items. Discounts on hundreds of summery items, from lilac saddle bags to MNZ slip dresses.
