5 Best Weekend Sales: J.Crew, Coach, Madewell, Nordstrom

Every week I find the best weekend sales you should be shopping. Sorting through markdowns to get the very best deals is my area of expertise, so when I say that even *I* was shocked by how steep this weekend’s sales are, you know they’re good. Right now, you can grab summer styles at up to 90 percent off—and no, that’s not a typo.

J.Crew’s double-discount event might be the most impressive sale I’ve seen all summer; with the code HELLOSALE, select markdowns are an extra 70 percent off (my favorite deals start at just $10). Madewell also launched a sale-on-sale, marking discounted jeans down by an extra 40 percent, and Nordstrom added so many under-$100 deals to its Anniversary Sale. Coach Outlet’s new bags are already up to 60 percent off, and Amazon has summer 2025’s ‘It’ shoes from just $12. 

5 Best Weekend Sales

J.Crew Sale-on-Sale

Cinched-Waist Shirt Dress

I’ve told my mom and friends about J.Crew’s sale, and now I’m telling you: These may be the steepest markdowns I’ve seen all summer—and they should not be missed. With the code HELLOSALE, this waist-chincing dress is now 90 percent off, this better-than-your-basic white tee is $10, and this 100-percent linen dress you could wear to work or poolside is just $30. My mom’s favorite are the comfy-chic Stratus Pants, but the item I immediately added to my cart was the Flutter-Hem Tank. I tried it on in store a month ago, fell in love with the vintage-inspired look, and vowed to wait until it was marked down to buy—I’ve never hit add-to-cart so fast.

Coach Outlet New Arrivals Sale

Signature Canvas Stripe Large City Tote Bag

Coach Outlet just dropped so many new bags, and they’re already up to 60 percent off. There are a handful of classic styles you could wear year round, including the slouchy Laurel bag and cool-and-easy Rowan bucket bag, as well as some trendier pieces. My favorites include the striped City Tote, top-rated Georgia satchel, and the Mini Rowan, which comes pre-decorated with bag charms.

Madewell Double-Discount Denim Sale

Airy Denim Superwide-Leg Jeans

I’m loyal to Madewell jeans, so I’m grabbing at least one new pair while they’re on double-discount sale. With the code SALEONSALE, marked-down denim is an extra 40 percent off, including these wide-legs made from the brand’s light and breathable Airy Denim, the cool-girl Low-Slung Baggy Jeans that feature elevated pleats, and this sleek, slim-fitting style.

Amazon Summer Shoe Sale

Nieardan Netted Mesh Mary Janes

We’re nearing the end of summer, so I get not wanting to splurge on a pair of shoes you’ll have to pack up in a month or two—that’s why I found this season’s ‘It’ styles on sale at Amazon, where they start at $14. You can get netted ballet flats that look a lot like a celebrity-loved designer pair, trending strappy sandals, and even kitten heels boasting this season’s must-have detail: a metal detail at the toe.

Nordstrom Under-$100 Anniversary Sale

Treasure & Bond Drawstring Sleeve Knit Dress

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is massive, with more than 6,000 markdowns, but I found six under-$100 styles you should grab RN. My top pick is this comfy-cool T-shirt dress with tied puff sleeves, but I’m also eyeing Dr. Scholl’s supportive heeled sandals, Wayf’s Chloé-esque ruffled blouse, and these sweatpants designed to look like trousers.
