The Best Labor Day Fashion Sales to Shop Now

Labor Day weekend always brings a wave of fashion sales worth browsing, and this year is no exception. From wardrobe staples to vacation-ready pieces, brands are offering deep discounts on some of their most popular items. If you’ve been waiting to refresh your closet with swimwear, denim, or everyday basics, these deals are a perfect opportunity.

Below, I’ve rounded up some of the best current sales, along with personal picks and petite-friendly finds that I’ve tried and loved.

J.Crew – Up to 50% Off Summer Styles

J.Crew has marked down swimwear and cover-ups, making this the perfect time to stock up for late-summer pool days or a warm-weather getaway.

One standout is the Claudia one-piece swimsuit, available in four colors. It’s been my go-to for a supportive yet stylish option that works for all-day wear—especially when chasing after little ones. The built-in shelf bra with light padding offers comfort, while the scrunchie-textured fabric and deep scoop back add interest. If you prefer two-pieces, the matching bikini comes in the same textured fabric, featuring a flattering high-waist bottom that provides excellent tummy coverage.

Sézane – First-Ever U.S. Archives Sale

For the first time, Sézane is extending their Archives Sale to U.S. customers. Be prepared for longer shipping times, and keep in mind that everything is final sale. Still, this is an exciting chance to grab coveted French-inspired pieces at a rare discount.

Boden – 25% Off Sitewide

Boden’s colorful prints and petite sizing make this one of my favorite places to shop, and they’re currently offering 25% off sitewide. Their new arrivals are full of vibrant patterns, most crafted from 100% cotton or their signature soft jersey fabric.

I’ve also loved their swimwear for its quality, though sizes start at 2 and tend to run a bit large on petites. For moms, Boden’s Mini Boden line is full of sweet, practical pieces for kids. Nori has been wearing their sleeveless and open-back dresses layered over simple t-shirts to school—a trick that makes them versatile enough for everyday wear.

Nordstrom – Half Yearly Sale

Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale is now live, offering markdowns on brands like Varley, Farm Rio, Vince, and a wide range of shoe labels. My favorite tip for shopping Nordstrom’s site? Use the size filters on the sidebar to quickly narrow down options that will work for you. It’s a game-changer when browsing hundreds of sale items.

Abercrombie – 25% Off + Extra 15% Off with Code AFJEAN

Abercrombie has been on a roll lately with petite-friendly designs, and their sale is stacked with versatile pieces.

• Crochet Knit Dress: This 100% cotton crochet maxi has been a bestseller and is now fully restocked in several colors. It’s chic yet breathable, making it a perfect resort piece. I’ve been pairing mine with comfy clear block-heel sandals (a vacation staple for years) and a roomy J.Crew tote.
• Soft Ribbed Button-Up: A petite workwear essential, this black top is silky soft, lightweight, and stretchy. You can style it buttoned up for a polished look or wear it unbuttoned with linen shorts for a more casual outfit.

Levi’s – 30% Off Sitewide

Levi’s is taking 30% off their entire site, and their denim shorts have been a recent highlight for me. The ’80s Mom Shorts have a flattering fit, non-frayed hems, and a petite-friendly 4-inch inseam.

I’ve styled them multiple ways—tucked into a tank with a slim belt for a laid-back vibe, or paired with a lightweight cotton blouse for a casual-chic feel.

Madewell – 25% Off Select Items + Extra 40% Off Sale

Madewell is a must-stop for denim lovers, and their current promo includes both new arrivals and deeper discounts on sale pieces.

• Chic Sandals: Their strappy black sandals are timeless and incredibly versatile, and they’re part of this season’s markdowns.
• Perfect Vintage Wide Crop Jeans: A surprise favorite among readers, these flared wide jeans are unexpectedly flattering. I tried them in the regular length with flats and loved the look. The Halstead wash, in particular, has become a petite classic.

Everlane – 25% Off Sitewide

Everlane’s sale is the perfect chance to stock up on everyday staples. A few of my all-time favorites include:

• Box-Cut Cotton Tees: Lightweight with a cropped, petite-friendly length. I own three colors and size up for a relaxed fit.
• Silky Cotton Button-Up Shirt: Breezy and perfect for summer layering.
• High-Rise Undies: These have just the right amount of light compression, and the xxs sizing fits like a dream.

I’m also planning to finally try their Curve Jeans after seeing them styled so beautifully at a recent event.

Final Thoughts

From swimsuits and breezy cotton dresses to denim staples and polished basics, this round of sales offers something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to refresh your summer wardrobe or invest in pieces that transition seamlessly into fall, now’s the time to shop.

Just remember: stock and sizes tend to move quickly during holiday sales, so if you spot something you’ve had your eye on, it’s best to grab it before it’s gone.
