Memorial Day weekend is here to mark the unofficial start of summer — and what better way to reward yourself for getting through the harsh winter than picking up a fresh haul of clothing and accessories for exciting plans ahead? Whether you’re celebrating the three-day weekend at a backyard barbecue, hitting the beach, or embracing the time off in lazy mode, now’s the best time to shop all the Memorial Day Weekend 2024 sales to build up a bulletproof capsule wardrobe for the season ahead.
This weekend is likely the first and only time you’ll find summer styles on sale for the rest of the season, which is why savvy shoppers will be seizing the opportunity to stock up on vacay-ready staples, like top-rated women’s jeans, wedding guest dresses, cute summer sandals, and everyday bags from leather totes to straw bags and chic beach bags. So where to begin? For starters, Nordstrom is serving up designer deals up to 40 percent off on top-coveted designer handbags, chic summer dresses, and editor-approved denim, while Shopbop‘s sale selection is boasting half-off price slashes on drool-worthy brands like Ganni, Jacquemus, By Far, and so much more. WWD Shop editors are already filling up their shopping carts at J.Crew, where you can score 40 percent off discounts on ‘old money’ styles site-wide, and essential Skims bodysuits and slip dresses at dozens of dollars in savings.
