Our Fashion Writer’s Guide to the Best Labor Day Fashion Deals This Year
As Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer, Labor Day is the unofficial end of the season — with deals the likes of which we haven’t seen since the Fourth of July weekend. I rounded up the best Labor Day fashion deals this year below. As we’re in this summer-fall transition, I focused more on items you can wear in the next few weeks and beyond (though we did publish a guide to the best it’s-still-summer Labor Day deals this morning, should you be so inclined). Be sure to check out all of our Labor Day sales coverage here and sign up for the Strategist Deal Freaks Dailynewsletter to get all of our sales coverage right in your inbox.
Deals I personally think are the best

The most comfortable “sneakerinas” I‘ve ever tried are half off.
Anthropologie
During Anthropologie’s Labor Day Event, select clothing and accessories are up to 40 percent off with prices marked before checkout. (For comparison’s sake, Anthropologie’s Black Friday sale is 30 percent off nearly everything.) As Anthropologie employees previously told me (I’m a former employee of the store myself), sales on full-price styles are increasingly rare, so you know what to do.
Banana Republic
Take an additional 20 percent off at checkout at Banana Republic’s end-of-summer sale-on-sale. But don’t let the name fool you: There are many transitional pieces marked down for the in-between weather we’re about to be having.

Banana Republic Factory
Just as we’ve experienced the Bananaissance, but we’re experiencing the Banana Factoryissance. Better yet, there’s always a deal to be had at the outlet — including right now with up to 70 percent off everything plus an extra 25 percent off.

Beyond Yoga
Run (quite literally) to Beyond Yoga’s Warehouse Sale for discounts on workout gear, like a cropped racerback tank starting at just $25, that our deals editor noticed.
Cos
Great news for minimalists: Cos marked down select pieces — everything from cotton-silk shirts to satin ballet sneakers — this Labor Day weekend.

Gap
Some of the things in our guide to what everyone’s buying at Gap — like a tank a writer wears “to the beach, to dinner, to sweat in my apartment” and jeans that “feel distinctly un-jean-ish” — are up to 60 percent off during Gap’s Labor Day Sale.

J.Crew
J.Crew’s Labor Day Event includes 40 percent off many full-price styles (individual prices are already marked) and an extra 40 percent off sale styles with code LABORDAY. Coming from a regular J.Crew shopper: Don’t dillydally.

Lands’ End
As senior writer Dominique Pariso points out, many of the best it’s-still-summer Labor Day deals are at Lands’ End, where you can get 50 percent off everything from one-pieces to board shorts.
Leset
You don’t see a Leset sale every day — or one with up to 60 percent markdowns. Keep in mind that all sales are final.
Madewell
Get an extra 30 percent off sale items and 25 percent “fall selects” at Madewell with code LONGWEEKEND.
