Half-Off Dusen Dusen, $35 J.Crew Shorts, and More Summer Sales This Weekend
In this article
The early-summer sales are here. Madewell, Nordstrom, Shopbop, Anthropologie, J.Crew, Banana Republic, and Gap all have discounted tanks, tees, shorts, dresses, swimwear, and accessories this weekend, including rare deals like under-$100 Birkenstocks and a Kim France–recommended sun hat. I rounded up the best of those below. And if you’ve put off finding a Mother’s Day gift to the very last moment (today), I’ve pulled a few on-sale picks for you that should arrive in one day if you order now.

Madewell’s current sale — 25 percent off accessories — has a strong selection of summery finds, like CBK-esque sunglasses, crochet and raffia totes, woven sandals, and maritime-inspired jewelry.
Madewell also has some spring clothes marked down between 20 and 40 percent. Many can be worn in warmer weather, too.

I was shocked to see on-sale Birks in neutral shades this week — and they’re still on sale and pretty well-stocked. There’s a bunch more clothing, shoes, and accessories up to 25 percent off at Nordstrom through the weekend, too.

At J.Crew, summer dresses and swimwear are up to 50 percent off. I’m a fan of the brand’s one-piece swimsuits, which come in a really wide range of sizes. The sale also includes nice tank tops, shorts, beach bags, and more for your warm-weather wardrobe.

Shopbop’s sale is full of fun clothes and accessories; deals editor Sam Daly rounded up a selection from some of our favorite brands, like this robe from Dusen Dusen, which would make a great (belated) Mother’s Day gift.
Everything is still 30 percent off at Alo for its anniversary sale through tonight. I pulled several of our Best in Class Alo leggings, sweats, and more, but these three items still have the best size and color availability.
A few colorful accessories are on sale at Banana Republic. Several of us are eyeing the tulip bag (which also comes in a burnt-orange-and-brown colorway), but the sun hat is a good idea for your summer travels and comes recommended by style writer Kim France.

Gap’s sale is still ongoing (currently 40 percent off everything), so if you, too, have been eyeing the brand’s new colorful tote, now’s the time to get it for more than half off.
Men’s fashion
Alo’s sale extends to the menswear section, too, with 30 percent off basic tees, hoodies, and joggers that look put together. I’d recommend toggling between colors to find more availability, as some sizes are beginning to sell out (and all deals end tonight).
Madewell’s sales includes a few basic men’s pieces, like polos, button-ups, and jeans. These three have availability in most sizes and colors. There are some nice offseason options, too, like a zip-front denim jacket and crewneck sweater.

It’s the last few days of Amazon’s summer beauty event, and Daly found some great deals on Strategist-approved skin care and fragrance — like our favorite cleansing balm — plus a serum that’ll make lashes grow thicker and longer in just six weeks.

A few of M.A.C’s best lip products are 30 percent off at Sephora. The lip liner is our best overall, and the lipstick has ranked high on several of our lists, too. Multiple shades of each are available, including nudes, browns, and a few reds.

All of Jones Road’s best sellers in one bundle — and currently 31 percent off. This kit includes two mini–Miracle Balms, plus an eye pencil, mascara, and eye cream, all of which are loved by everyone we’ve asked, especially middle-aged women.

It’s Josie Maran’s birthday, so the luxurious body butters are 20 percent off. Tembe Denton-Hurst, a beauty writer at the Strategist, likes the unscented version and the lotionlike texture.

I’ve purchased multiple tins of Fortnum & Mason biscuits in my lifetime, including the limited-edition musical tins, and they make great edible gifts. Once the cookies are finished, the tins are great for stashing ugly items like cotton balls and Q-tips.
