The Memorial Day long weekend is here — and with it,all the sales. As it’s the unofficial beginning of summer, a lot of seasonally appropriate fare is on sale — including cotton-blend tank tops, linen shorts, and seersucker dresses. So rejoice, deal freaks. If you’re wondering where to shop, I rounded up all the best deals on women’s fashion here (with brands listed alphabetically). And be sure to sign up for theStrategist Deal Freaks Dailynewsletterto get even more deals delivered to your inbox through the holiday — and beyond.

Update on May 24, 2026
I made sure all of these items are still on sale and in stock. Most end tomorrow night, so shop soon.

The deals I personally think are the best

A big highlight of Gap’s sale is a tank that has a “striking resemblance to the Flore Flore Dewi tank” for $23. I’m trying out these Banana Republic cotton-poplin pants — and thinking of buying another now that they’re down to $70. Traditionally, the best time to get a J.Crew swimsuit is Memorial Day. This year’s no exception: Get yourself this reversible plaid one-piece for $73, or 50 percent off.
