The 30 Best Labor Day Sales for Clothes and Fashion Accessories

For fashion lovers, the unofficial last weekend of summer means shopping the best Labor Day sales on clothes and other fashion goods. It’s the perfect time to grab that designer handbag that’s finally gone on sale, or get a head start on fall items like cashmere sweaters and leather pants that are discounted for a limited time.

This year, Monday, Sept. 5 is Labor Day. The vast majority of sales have commenced by the Friday before, Sept. 2, though some started as early as Aug. 30. Most run through Sept. 5, with a few lagging into Sept. 6. Regardless, you’ll want to get shopping immediately before deals run out, particularly in the most common sizes.

Labor Day Weekend is an ideal shopping occasion with a new season on the way. Shoppers can stock up on their year-round must-haves, from wardrobe basics like bras and workout clothes to classic office attire like button-downs and trousers. Lots of retailers offer discounts on their fall inventory for this weekend only, enticing customers to snatch up the coats and boots they’ll be wearing as cooler temperatures arrive.

Most of all, there’s tons of summer stock that retailers are keen to clear out. With temperatures still high, it’s the perfect opportunity to indulge in summer favorites like cute sandals and summer dresses at huge discounts.

Retailers like Moda Operandi are offering up to 80% off designer items, while sites like athleisure retailer Bandier offer deals that increase the more you buy.
