The US Memorial Day Weekend is here along with a big list of sales from retailers to entice shoppers into stores and online to spend.  The Memorial Days sales are happening this weekend and all week long.  If you would love to see what’s new for spring or shop for fall, here’s a list  of discounts.

Apparel Deals for Remote Workers: Pajamas & Leisure Wear

Many of us are working from home full time, certain items of apparel are still selling, and even increasing in sales like pajamas and leisure wear.

For those of us who are now working exclusively from home via Zoom and other tech tools, being comfortable is more important than ever. According to data from Adobe Analytics, pajamas sales have significantly increased. In contrast, sales of pants are down.  Who need new pants when you can just add a nice top to your sweat pants or pajama bottoms for a Zoom call or a quick Face Time meeting?  Comfortable “stay at home wear” is the new fashion trend.

With online shopping at a peak, let’s take a look at this year’s  Memorial Day sales.  Some of these sales really do offer great savings.  Others are just “sale promotions” with little or no real value, because the stuff the retailers are selling is just plain junk.  As time goes on, I’m getting more and more selective about the sales I want to spend time at or even look at. For example, it’s been ages since I saw great value at outlet stores. Most things there look like merchandise that designers license their names to, that have little or no resemblance to the designer’s main line.  For value on designer fashions, I prefer sales at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus Last Call or Saks Fifth Avenue.  For fast fashion, I shop at ASOS,  H&M and Topshop at Nordstrom.  Here’s The Recessionista’s short list of the Memorial Day sales  that are value for price.
