The Best Memorial Day Sales for 2024 – My Picks

Memorial Day weekend is when the pools open, the grills are fired up, and the sales are super. Spend this weekend outdoors and with your loved ones, not the mall. The best Memorial Day sales are online, and I have collected what I believe to be the best deals. I have included exclusive discount codes for brands that can often be used in conjunction with whatever Memorial Day weekend sale promotion is taking place! Spoiler alert, I have a promo code for Universal Standard for Memorial Day weekend! Keep reading…

The Best Memorial Day Sales for 2024

I picked what I believe are the best deals for the best brands for us grown women. Retailers I shop and trust, and brands you all tell me often are your go-to favorites. I've also added some suggestions of what to buy and what I personally own and love from the different stores.

Fashion and Accessories

ABLE

ABLE, the sustainable fashion brand that goes up to size 3X, has up to 75% off sitewide this weekend with code WEEKEND30.

Adidas

Adidas has 30% off through 5/28 with promo code SUMMER.

Ann Taylor

I've been loving me some Ann Taylor lately (hello petites over a size 10!) and this weekend, Ann Taylor has 40% off everything, sitewide and in stores, full price and sale. Linen is still a big trend this summer, and blends don't get as wrinkled while still being breathable.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic has 30% off full-priced items, no code is needed. I appreciate Banana Republic not only carrying up to a size 20 (though more sizes would be WAY better), I appreciate that it's one of the few retailers that carries petite over a size 10.

Bare Necessities

Bare Necessities is my favorite place for a great range of sizes, colors, and styles of bras and bra-sized swimwear. This weekend they have up to 40% off at this link.

Boden

Boden is 25% off sitewide. Boden is one of those stores I love but rarely can justify the price. Sales like this that are sitewide are when I shop the retailer. Great color, cool prints, and sizes up to 20/22 with some petite and tall options, Boden is like a preppy Farm Rio this summer.

COS

COS is a favorite for modern styles, cool lines, and reasonable prices for good quality for men and women. I just wish their size range was greater (I fit in their largest size if it's loose or stretchy). COS has 30% off select styles, details on site.

J. Crew

J. Crew has 40% off sitewide through 5/28; no code needed.

J. Crew Factory

The entire site is on sale at least 50% off, with some items up to 70% off. J. Crew Factory is fantastic for summer with staples of good quality at great prices in sizes XXS-3X.

J.Jill

J.Jill has 30% off full price linen available at this link. I recently went to a mall and was really impressed with the J.Jill collection for this season, and I love that J.Jill goes up to 4XL and carries petites and talls.

Karen Kane

Karen Kane carries sustainable fashion made in the U.S. in Misses and Plus. This weekend Karen Kane has 25% off sitewide with code: MEMORIAL25. Karen Kane is a fantastic place to shop for travel-friendly fabrics, classic but not boring pieces that transcend trends, and amazing not-so-little black dresses.

Lands' End

Lands' End has a few different promotions going on this weekend, but luckily they all use the same promo code. With 60% off swim (with a bunch of new styles and old favorites) and 50% off everything else, this is the time to shop and save with best selection of styles and sizes. Use promo code HONOR. I've written lately about how Lands' End fashion is really great right now, and my favorite Lands' End suits for large busts.

Madewell

Madewell has 25% off summer essentials at this link. Use promo code LONGWEEKEND.

Nordstrom

Earlier this week, I shared that Nordstrom is having a Half-Yearly Sale with up to 60% off. You can see my picks at this link.

Old Navy

Old Navy has 50% off all shorts, tees, tanks, and swim; the women's items part of this sale are at this link. However, this is a good time to stock up for the whole family. For those of us who wear women sizes, I found some good picks. My trick for reasonably-priced swimwear is spend on the piece that I need to perform (for me, that's the top), and go budget for the other piece.

Printfresh

Printfresh is a favorite for size-inclusive organic pajamas as well as dresses, bags, robes, and much more. Sizes XXS-6X with short and long options, Printfresh is offering up to 60% off sale. Also, use code WARDROBE_OXYGEN for 15% off full-price purchases (try it on sale, it sometimes works). Check out my original Printfresh review.

Soma

Soma has an extra 30% off markdowns this weekend and no code is needed. This means sleepwear and bras as low as $24.99. And it is the season for Cool Nights sleepwear, which is silky smooth and does make me feel cooler while also looking super pretty; I wear an L in Soma sleepwear.

Talbots

Through May 27th, get 40% off one item and 30% off the rest of your purchase at Talbots with promo code SUMMER. Talbots is a favorite for this time of year because they're not afraid of color but the pieces are classic style so they remain in my closet for years.

Universal Standard

Through the 28th, Universal Standard is having 30% off sitewide. This is HUGE; Universal Standard rarely has a sale that includes everything. But I'm going to make it even better for you. Use my code INFS-MDWALISON at checkout and you will get an additional 10% off your order! Y'all know I am very familiar with the size-inclusive fashion brand Wardrobe Oxygen. I am 5'3″ and 14, sometimes 16. I have a large bust, soft belly, and a round booty with strong, solid legs. My thoughts on what to consider during this amazing Universal Standard Memorial Day sale:

Beauty and Wellness

Colleen Rothschild

I am a huge Colleen Rothschild skincare fan. I have used their cleansing balm since 2016 and since then about 85% of my skincare routine is from the brand. Colleen Rothschild is having their Start of Summer Sale event with $25 Off $100+ with CODE: MAY25 and $50 Off  $200+ with CODE: MAY50.

Paula's Choice

Paula's Choice is having 20% off sitewide + with qualifying purchases, you'll get up to $189 worth of gifts. At checkout, use promo code 29YEARS. I have never had a negative reaction or experience with Paula's Choice skincare. Both the mineral and synthetic sunscreens are pretty fantastic; the BHA exfoliant is a cult favorite for a reason, and this lotion really does improve the appearance of skin on legs, arms, decollete, and hands (but be sure to wear sunscreen as it will make you more sun sensitive).

Home and Tech

Eight Sleep

I still need to write my review of Eight Sleep, but my husband and I got one two years ago and it is the BEST money we have spent for our comfort and sleep quality. You can adjust each side for the perfect warmth or cooling, the temp changes super fast, you can schedule it to preheat or cool before bed and change temps when you're in deep sleep and when you wake. No sound, no breeze, super easy maintenance only needed every few months, quite durable. We have the Pod 3 and think it's fantastic enough that we're not wanting to upgrade yet. The app is super cool and tracks quality of sleep and even how much you snored! Right now all three versions of Eight Sleep are on sale up to $200; I have a code for $150 off; try promo code ALISON to see it may work on top of this Memorial Day sale! And check out my Instagram Highlight circle about my Eight Sleep!

Macy's

Through the 27th, Macy's has up to 60% off furniture, mattresses and rugs. Prices are online at this link. We're talking 30% off sofas and sectionals, up to 60% off outdoor furniture, and up to 60% off mattresses from brands like Sealy, Serta, Hotel by Aireloom, and Paramount.

Rifle Paper Co.

I love the prints of Rifle Paper Co. and find it a great place to find gifts for situations like graduations, teachers, and bridal showers (as well as for myself!). The entire Rifle Paper Co. site is 25% off this weekend with promo code BLOOM25.

If you know of some fabulous sales taking place this weekend, do share in the comments! Also note this was the same link for my 2023 sale picks; instead of leaving old information on Wardrobe Oxygen, I updated this with 2024 promotions taking place.
