Memorial Day weekend is here and the sales are especially good this year — including many that are 50 percent (or more) off. Whether your summertime wardrobe could use an update or you’re looking for new pieces to brighten up your apartment, there are plenty of excellent deals to be had from Strategist-approved brands, including Lands’ End, J.Crew, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, the Gap, and more. With prices this low, several retailers have marked some of the items below as final sale — something to keep in mind as you’re checking out. I foresee many of these products selling out very quickly, so I’ll do my best to add more deals as I find them into Monday. And if you’re looking to do even more Memorial Day shopping, head over to our deals editor Sam Daly’s extensive guide of more truly worth-it markdowns.

We removed the Article Hilla Sofa. We also confirmed everything else is still in stock and at least half off.
Women’s Apparel and Accessories
Madewell and J.Crew are running some of the deepest discounts I saw, which range from 60 percent off to a whopping 80 percent off. I also uncovered deals from more of our favorite clothing brands, including Levi’s, Everlane, and Patagonia. I have my eye on the Gap’s bright-blue jelly flats, which our writer Arielle Avila tested and liked because they have extra padding in the sole for added comfort.

Men’s Apparel and Accessories
Over in the men’s section, you’ll find that many of the same retailers have dropped solid discounts here, too. REI is holding its Anniversary Sale through Memorial Day, and I spotted a few nice outerwear pieces in the clearance section that are more than 50 percent off, too.

Beauty and Wellness
I had to rummage a little harder to find makeup, skin care, and hair products on sale, but Sephora did have a handful of half-off deals. I own Bio Ionic’s Long Barrel Styler — it’s our best curling iron for long hair — and it makes curling my hair so much easier and efficient.

Home and Kitchen
Wayfair’s Memorial Day event is always a great place to start shopping for discounted furniture and home décor because its inventory is so vast. I also noticed Nordstrom has marked down a ton of Villeroy & Boch’s dinner plates, flatware, and glassware, including the exact water glasses from fashion designer Peter Som’s tablescape.
