Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Madewell Just Launched Massive Labor Day Sales—30 Items Not to Miss

With fall fashion content in full swing and NYFW around the corner, there's basically no time to think about all the Labor Day sales dropping this weekend. If I'm going to shop right now, I want the best of the best already in mind so I can add pieces to my cart in record time. There's no scenario in which I don't spend at least a few dollars this weekend (just me?), so I went ahead and asked around about my favorite retailers' sales. Spoiler alert: They're too good to miss. Particularly, Nordstrom, J.Crew and Madewell are offering discounts on fall fashion that are impossible to turn down. There are so many good pieces on sale right now, but I wouldn't sleep on them if I were you—they're bound to sell out. If you're looking for a shortcut, I listed all of my favorites below.
When are Labor Day Weekend sales, and when do they end?
Most Labor Day sales start the week before Labor Day and end right after the holiday. This year, most stores are launching discounts from Thursday, August 29, until the night of Monday, September 2. Although some sales might take place before or after those dates.

Everything from clothing to shoes and accessories will be on sale during Labor Day Weekend. With multi-brand retailers and designer in-house labels hosting their own sales, you'll be able to find all of your favorites and stock up while the discounts are ongoing.
