Who wants to spend the first long weekend of summer perusing the web for the best Memorial Day weekend deals out there? Go outside, touch some grass, channel your inner lizard, and soak up the sun on a rock (don’t forget your SPF). Leave the absurd amount of screen time on us.
Consider the Cut’s shopping team your own personal shopper when it comes to scratching off everything on your to-buy list. From potential Father’s Day gifts to a few other things you didn’t know you needed, who wants to pay full price for anything?
Whether you are in the market for comfy summer sandals (they exist!), missed out on a past bedding sale, or simply want to see which specific items from retailers across fashion, beauty, and home are actually worth it, we’ve put in the work (as an infamous billionaire would say) and rounded up the best of the best below.
Buckle up, it’s a long list.
Best fashion Memorial Day weekend sales
Nordstrom
Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale is here, which means you can score up to 60 percent off on select items until June 5. We highly suggest you dive a bit deeper into the designer clearance section, which is filled with tons of Proenza Schouler shoes, Balenciaga bags at great prices, and great deals on more upcoming brands such as Nodaleto, Amy Crookes, and Isa Boulder. As for me, I’m partial over this Khaite bag for 40 percent off.
Ssense
No, we won’t shut up about the Ssense sale. It’s a current fave to score designer sunnies for less and everything we’ve been eyeing for a hot second.
Everlane
Everlane’s special Memorial Day deal is offering customers select styles for at least 25 percent off — including the fishermen sandals we want to wear all the time.
Outdoor Voices
While the internet-famous exercise dress isn’t currently on sale. The athleisure brand will be adding new styles to its sale section for up to 50 percent off, so fingers crossed! In the meantime, consider these shorts, which I was wearing while I typed this to force myself to get a workout in when I finished the workday.
Net-a-Porter
You don’t have tell us twice to use the code 30OFF until May 30 to get 30 percent off designer goods.
Shopbop
With over 1,000-plus styles on sale, the Shopbop sale is a big one. A pro tip is going directly to “Sale Picks Under $250” so you don’t miss out on any of the hidden gems like this Shushu/Tong skirt.
Madewell
Use the code LONGWEEKEND to score 25 percent off everything on the site by May 30, including great summer staples like this tank top.
Neiman Marcus
More luxe designer deals because why not? This time, you can save up while shopping at Neiman Marcus’s 50 percent off sale.
Levi’s
Buying jeans online isn’t exactly ideal. If you can go to your nearest Levi’s store, we recommend that, but if you want to make use of the 30 percent off sitewide discount and the brand’s return or exchange policy, according to which you can switch or get a refund on any unworn and unwashed item(s) within 60 days of purchase, we recommend a fave silhouette of ours: the Levi’s Dad Jeans. They run true to size, and the cut is the right amount of straight and baggy.
Girlfriend Collective
Girlfriend Collective is one of the brands doing inclusive sizing right. Whether you want to try out its famous skort (it’s worth it!) or even its swimwear, now’s your chance since you can take 15 percent off any $125-plus order, 20 percent off any $200-plus order, and 25 percent off any $250-plus order until May 30.
Simon Miller
If you’re like us, you’ve been seeing Simon Miller everywhere. Whether it’s the clogs, the platform boots, or the body-con dresses, you can’t escape the brand’s Insta ads, and it’s working. So, bite the gun and consider purchasing something this weekend when Simon Miller is offering 15 percent off sitewide when you use the code TAKE15. We’re eyeing this oversize tote bag.
Knickey
Knickey is one of our favorite sustainable underwear brands, and until May 30, the brand will be offering 20 percent off sitewide when you use the code MDW2022.
Eberjey

Eloquii
With prices starting at $19, Eloquii will have great deals running until May 30.
Parade
Another brand that is everywhere — and we can understand why. Its seamless universal underwear is extremely comfortable, so you bet we’ll be taking advantage of its Memorial Day deals, through which you can get 30 percent off any $150 order, 40 percent off any order over $150, and free shipping on orders over $75.
