The 2025 Memorial Day sales are already going strong - and as one of HELLO!'s resident shopping experts, and, I confess, a MAJOR online shopper in my down time, I'm here to make things easier. 

I have scoured the internet looking for the best online deals so I could put together this edit of all the best discounts on fashion and beauty, but you'll want to shop fast because a lot of the sales end today, May 26.

I've found huge discounts on Coach bags at Macy's, massive discounts plus and extra 20% off sale styles at Kate Spade and the A-list sunglasses brand worn by everyone from Meghan Markle to JLo at Nordstrom for under $20. 

When is Memorial Day 2025?

Memorial Day weekend, which takes place during graduation season, has famously become known as the kick-off of all things summer with BBQs, outdoor activities and of course, the Memorial Day sales.

Originally created to honor veterans who lost their lives while serving in the military, Memorial Day is an official federal holiday observed annually on the last Monday of May. This year, in 2025, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 26.

What stores have Memorial Day sales?

It's probably easier to tell you which stores don't have Memorial Day Sales! With many spring sales already underway, retailers across the board cut prices even more for the big holiday weekend, one of the biggest sale events of the year. 

For home buys and DIY some of my faves are The Home Depot, Lowe's, and Best Buy, but for fashion and beauty, which I'm focusing on here, my go-tos for the best deals are the likes of Sephora, Macy's, Nordstrom and of course Nordstrom's discounted little sister, Nordstrom Rack. 

How I picked the best Memorial Day Sale deals:

  • Popularity: I keep track of which sales and stores that HELLO! readers love to shop, and have been sure to include them here.
  • Discount: I selected the 'best' sales based both price reductions that I think are worth it – 20% or more, and I can't resist a discount of 60% and up.
  • Availability: There's nothing more disappointing to shop a sale only to find out there's nothing in your size or a good amount of inventory to choose from, so I've selected sales that have lots of options.

Memorial Day 2025: Best sales to shop, according to a shopping editor

So now that you have the Memorial Day rundown, it's time to get shopping. So here's my edit of the best sales out there. I'm keeping track of what's trending, and I'll keep this handy list updated with all the best deals and discount codes here as they're released.

Kate Spade Ellie Straw Small Tote

Editor's Pick:

"How adorable is this Kate Spade bag? At around $100, the on-trend tote, which is made from straw and has smooth leather trim, is on my summer wish list. Note that it's not included in the discount code offers (WEEKEND will get you even more savings on selected items) it's still 73% off. Bargain!"

Calvin Klein 100% Cotton Dress - 61% off at Nordstrom Rack

Editor's Pick:

“If you want to take part in the cutout dress trend in a more subtle way, this dress is for you. It’s 100% cotton - perfect for summer - and has European vacay vibes.  I could totally see myself wearing this with a pair of sandals exploring the cobblestone streets of a Mediterranean village. And Calvin Klein at 60% off? You couldn't really ask for more.”

Editor's Pick:

“Tory Burch’s preppy aesthetic is trending this year - and the sale is not to be missed. This skirt is so cute;  I think it would look great with the Tory Burch retro polo that’s 50% off.

One shopper said the ‘sporty sleek’ look, is a ‘weekend and casual go to item in my closet.’ Another said she ‘topped it off with my Tory Burch logo cap for a great casual, but well-put-together look!’”

4/8

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream

Editor's Pick:

“It’s nearly impossible to find Meghan Markle favorite Tatcha on sale, but the Japanese clean skincare brand’s Friends & Family discounts are happening now, with 20% off sitewide. It’s a rare chance to get the Duchess of Sussex’s go-to The Dewy Skin Cream (and the rest of the coveted luxe skincare wonders) starting from $18.40 with the discount code: FRIENDS25.”

Le Specs Sunglasses - 70% off at Nordstrom

Editor's Pick:

"Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale is ON - and while there are huge discounts on everything from kids to home, my eye went straight to the accessories. I found Le Specs - the sunglasses brand worn by celebrities from Beyoncé to Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez and Gigi Hadid for up to 70% off, just in time to kick off summer.

" I have a couple of pairs of Le Specs  myself and I can tell you they look designer but are a steal, even at full price."

6/8

COACH Leather Tote - 40% off at Macy's

Editor's Pick:

“Macy’s has 40% off selected Coach bags and I really had trouble choosing a favorite. In the end I chose the COACH Polished Pebble Leather Willow Tote 24 - it’s a top handle bag that also has a 21-1/2" detachable strap so it’s super versatile. And it comes in three colors - Chalk, Black and Bluebell (seen above) - so you’ll need to take a look to see which is the best fit for your wardrobe. I love them all.”

7/8

Zeagoo High Waist Satin Skirt - 29% off at Amazon

Editor's Pick:

Silky satin dresses and skirts are trending - you may have spotted this versatile skirt style on TikTok or Pinterest. I have one and I wore it all through winter and now am rocking it for summer with a tank top or t-shirt and sneakers. And the best thing is you can wear the trend without a huge investment - this under $20 skirt at Amazon has solid reviews with shoppers saying it 'looks expensive'.

One said, ‘Beautiful. Fit is perfect. Looks more expensive than it is. Fabric is heavy enough, not flimsy or see through. Drapes beautifully. I have it in black also and I receive compliments every time I wear one of them.’”

8/8

Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream - 25% off at Ulta

Editor's Pick:

"Hailey Bieber says she ‘couldn’t live without Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream from French pharmacy brand Avene, which features products made from soothing natural thermal spring water. Since I have sensitive skin, Avene is one of my go to brands, and this clinically-proven skin barrier cream hydrates and protects your skin, is fragrance- and paraben-free, and is also formulated without alcohol, soy or wheat. If you have reactive skin this just might be your new holy grail. You can also shop it on Amazon, but it’s currently at full price."
