Even though we’re sad to start putting away our swimsuits, we have to admit that we won’t miss how sweaty and swampy this summer has been. Labor Day marks the unofficial beginning of fall, and we’re genuinely looking forward to pulling out our favorite boots and most comfortable jeans to prepare for what is arguably the season with the best style.
And while we’re at it, we plan to take full advantage of Labor Day and post-long weekend sales to not only refresh our wardrobes, but also spruce up our home. Whether you’re in the market for a new mattress, want to upgrade your TV, or need to freshen up your skincare routine, there are a slew of retailers offering markdowns through Labor Day weekend and beyond.
It’s grueling to try and keep track of all your favorite stores’ deals and sales, so we did the research for you. Here’s our comprehensive list of all the can’t-miss sales we’re shopping throughout the long weekend and after — starting with the ones we’re particularly stoked about — along with products we already added to our carts.
