The Only Labor Day Menswear Sales Worth Shopping
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
For some, fall is a bit of a double-edged sword. There's something heartwarming about the cozy months. You get football , perfect jacket weather, and the holidays inching ever closer. It also means the end of long, sun-drenched days and sweaterless evenings. Kiss that tan you worked on all season goodbye.
If any of this strikes a chord, Labor Day weekend offers the spiritual solution. Yes, that's getting on the grill and enjoying the last bit of summer, but we're also talking about shopping. Labor Day is one of the best times of year to upgrade your closet.
Even better, the Labor Day style deals are really good this year, so you can save on all the stuff you want from brands like Ralph Lauren, Lululemon , and Carhartt. You can use these sales to snag staples for next spring and summer at record-low prices, or to prep your fall wardrobe and get a bit more excited about the change in seasons. Either way, consider it a little mood booster. If you want a cheat sheet, below are the best Labor Day menswear deals to shop now.
Esquire's Five Favorite Sales
Amazon
We're not the biggest fans of Amazon menswear, but you can get essentials for dirt cheap over there. Levi's, Lacoste , and any sort of down-range designer is available on markdown. (Note: Levi's is also having a sale of its own right now, with up to 40 percent off sitewide, but some of the jean deals are slightly steeper on Amazon.) These are our personal picks.
Lacoste Classic Fit Original L.12.12 Polo
Levi's 505 Regular Fit Jeans
Cole Haan Pinch Penny Loafer
Huckberry
Somewhere we do like is Huckberry. We think it's one of the best places on the internet for Normal Guys to shop at. In honor of Labor Day weekend, the brand's sale section is stacked with end-of-summer steals and fresh fall-ready pieces worth stocking up on, from a Carhartt chore coat to our favorite Flint and Tinder western shirt .
Carhartt WIP Warren Chore Coat
Rhodes Footwear Western Mule
Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt
Brooks Brothers
It's no secret we're big Brooks Brothers fans . After a few years in limbo, America's most important catalog, the brand that's dressed (almost) every president since 1818, is starting to reclaim some of the territory we think it lost. If you're into the prep look, there's nowhere better to score a deal on it—especially now that the brand's end-of-season sale is offering an extra 25 percent off sale styles.
Brooks Brothers Windowpane Sport Coat
Brooks Brothers Stretch Cotton-Oxford Button-Down
Brooks Brothers Lightweight Luxe All-Season Sweater
Gap
Gap's inventory has gotten pretty great in recent years, but not at the expense of its stellar prices. And right now, they almost don't seem real: The brand's current Labor Event includes up to 60 percent off select styles and an extra 50 percent off sale items, with prices starting at just $6.
Gap AC/DC T-Shirt
Gap '90s Double-Knee Carpenter Pants
Gap Plaid Oxford Button-Down Shirt
Hoka
The Hoka sale is fine. The one really good deal is 20 percent off the Clifton 10, which is a season old now but still beloved here at Esquire . The Challenger 8 trail runner is 20 percent off with limited sizes. The Arahi 8 , a trusty daily trainer, is 20 percent off in a slew of neutral colors. And two earth-toned versions of the springy Skyflow are the most steeply discounted at 30 percent off. But chances are you want the Clifton. Here it is.
The Rest of the Sales
Abercrombie & Fitch
Today only, Abercrombie is offering 20 percent off most of what's on its site. That translates to 20 pages of discounts on trendy menswear items like hoodies, wide-leg jeans, and graphic tees.
Adidas
Through September 8, Adidas is giving shoppers 30 percent off select full price and sale styles with code EXTRA. That includes plenty of sneaker classics, like Ultraboosts , Spezials , and Gazelles .

Through September 7, Bloomingdale's Labor Day Sale also includes some steep deals on designer and contemporary favorites, including up to 70 percent off on Theory tees , Magnanni loafers , Eton dress shirts , and a handful of On sneakers.

J. Crew's Labor Day sale includes 40 percent off your purchase, with some exclusions. Technically, the deal applies to just over 300 menswear items, including lightweight crewneck sweaters and top-rated chinos. We've already curated our favorite picks for you right here.

Mack Weldon
Mack Weldon never fails to impress us with its simple, impossibly cozy basics. For Labor Day weekend, get up to 75 percent off sale styles plus an extra 10 percent off everything when you spend at least $200.
Nike
For all your sporty needs, take a peek at Nike's sale section. There are more than 2,000 markdowns to sift through, and while some of the discounts are pretty slim, dig a little and you'll find steals like Killshots for nearly 30 percent off.
Nordstrom
For everything from office attire to home essentials, Nordstrom has you covered. The retailer's end-of-season clearance deals are up to 50 percent off and selling out fast, so shop 'em before they're gone.
Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren rarely hosts official sales, so its Labor Day event is definitely one you won't want to miss. Through September 8, enjoy an extra 30 percent off certain sale styles, including must-have polos, quarter-zips, and even select colors of its iconic logo chino cap .
REI
If you still plan on touching grass even when the days get shorter and the weather gets chillier, one, good for you, and two, make sure to check out REI's Labor Day sale . Arc'teryx shells , The North Face technical pants , and even Patagonia fleeces are 25 percent off more while the deals last (some end today or September 7).
Todd Snyder
We're never not on the hunt for the best Todd Snyder deals. And while the brand isn't hosting an official Labor Day sale, the cool polo sweaters and leather flip-flops in its current sale section are certainly worth adding to your cart.
Vuori
Vuori's sale section is full of best-sellers right now. Everything from the cult-loved Kore shorts to the editor-approved Sunday Joggers , which contributor Gibson Johns dubbed "a fantastic pant that offers immense comfort," is currently up to half off.
