The Best Early Memorial Day Sales & Deals To Shop Already

Reported by Refinery29 Fashion.

Memorial Day weekend has officially become the fashion industry's most generous checkout moment — and the deals are already live. According to Refinery29 Fashion, dozens of major brands launched their markdowns early, meaning the window to score serious discounts on summer staples is open right now, not just on the holiday itself.

On the apparel side, the numbers are hard to ignore. J.Crew is offering up to 50% off dresses plus an extra 40% off sale styles with code SUMMER (through May 26). Abercrombie & Fitch is running 20%–40% off almost everything, stackable with an additional 15% via code AFSUMMER (May 20–25). Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale — live through June 1 — takes up to 50% off clothing, accessories, and home, while Nordstrom Rack goes even harder with up to 75% off new markdowns. Levi's is doing 30% sitewide plus 40% off sale styles, and Hollister is slashing 25%–50% off everything through May 25. For the denim lovers and dress obsessives: this is your moment.

Beauty and Beyond

The beauty pulls are equally worth your attention. Olaplex is 25% off sitewide through May 25. Ilia is running a Friends & Family event — 20% off for everyone, 25% for VIPs — with free full-sized products when you hit $100 or $175 in spend (through May 28). Supergoop! had 20% off sitewide, and Vacation is offering up to 35% off select products plus a free lip balm or lotion with qualifying purchases through May 25. If your SPF supply is looking thin going into summer, that last one is a practical no-brainer.

The deeper fashion play here isn't just about snagging a discounted sundress — it's about shopping investment pieces at their most accessible price point. L'Agence has 25% off both sale and select full-price styles May 22–25. Good American is 40% off all sale styles through May 27. Miraclesuit is offering 25% off select swimwear with code MDW through May 26. These are brands with real staying power, and a sale that makes their price tags reasonable is worth treating seriously.

The long weekend is short — shop with intention before the carts fill up and the codes expire.
