Get your credit cards ready: My Memorial Day sale roundup is here. If there were ever a time to prep your summer wardrobe, this is it. I’m prioritizing four brands in particular this weekend: Gap, Madewell, The Outnet, and Dooney & Bourke. Each one is offering major markdowns on the pieces I know I’ll want to wear this season. On my list are on-trend striped pants, polka dot swimsuits, colorful tote bags, and about 50 other things I’d like to get my hands on. Whether you’re looking to invest in forever classics or simply want to score a few trend-forward pieces for less, these are the sales I’d recommend shopping first. To see my top picks from each brand, keep reading.

I’m not sure what is in the water over at Madewell, but its design team has been dropping hit after hit. Each new arrival plays into the trends I am most excited about this summer, and this weekend, you can get up to 50% off sitewide, plus an additional 30% off sale items. Promotion ends May 26.

I ordered summer basics from Gap a couple of weeks ago, and I need more colorways of everything I bought. The cotton basics are incredibly soft, and I’m eager to get my hands on a few of the brand’s staple pants as well. You can get 40-60% off best-sellers through May 26.

The Outnet is my not-so-secret, secret destination for sourcing discounted designer finds. This weekend, you can get up to 80% off apparel, footwear, and accessories. I love these six summer staples, but I also noticed a plethora of discounted dresses that would fit a range of summer wedding dress codes.
