Memorial Day isn’t just the unofficial start of summer—it’s also the first weekend of the year when nearly every brand holds a major sale. So yes, while we’re planning to get plenty of relaxation and facetime with family over the holiday, we’re also on the lookout for the season’s biggest trends at unheard-of prices.
We’ve already spotted a few major finds among our favorite Memorial Day clothing sales, including capri leggings, trendy sandals, and long jorts. But that’s just scratching the surface. Get a jump on all of our favorite trendy sale finds below—then pat yourself on the back for saving as much as 60% off the of-the-moment pieces you were already planning to buy.
Glamour’s Memorial Day sale trends wish list
1. Nautical flair
Coastal prep is perhaps the biggest summer fashion trend on our radar—Glamour editors are seeing so many nautical stripes, boat shoes, and shell earrings in the wild. Lean into the maritime vibe with these newly discounted pieces, including the perfect summerweight sweater and a lobster-red bag that’ll make more subdued looks pop.
2. Long shorts
Summer’s trendiest shorts silhouette is the Bermuda: long, baggy, and just exaggerated enough to make a major impression. They’re pretty much effortless to style, considering you can just wear what you already do; try a button-down over a tank top with some white sneakers (or even the ring sandals from above). And now that genuinely chic styles from J.Crew and Toteme are on sale, there’s never been a better time to buy in.
3. Ring sandals
One of summer’s key shoe trends, toe-ring sandals combine jewelry with footwear. Besides simplifying the process of getting dressed—they take care of accessories, at least for your bottom half—the sandals look incredible with breezy dresses, long skirts, and tailored linen pants alike. Don’t leave for vacation without a pair in tow.
4. East-west bags
Just about the hottest shoulder bag silhouette you can carry right now is the east-west bag, which is characterized by a rectangular body and exaggerated top straps. While it’s been tough to find on sale for the past few months, Memorial Day weekend is ushering in the finest wave of discounts we’ve seen so far—and not even Tory Burch and Coach are exempt.
5. Retro swimwear
This summer, we’ll all be dressing for the beach like Sabrina Carpenter in the “Espresso” music video. Vintage-inspired suits—think graphic polka dots and retro halternecks—are trending on social media, and these picks are all available at some pretty nice prices for the holiday. It’s time to get your swimwear nailed down, anyway, and you might as well do it on sale.
