Fashion Retailers Extend Memorial Day Sales With Up to 75% Off Major Brands

8 articles · Updated · Yahoo · May 26

Post-Memorial Day fashion promotions remained live on Tuesday, with retailers still offering discounts as deep as 75% on apparel, shoes and accessories.
Amazon, Zappos and Nordstrom were among the sellers highlighted, with markdowns on brands that are less often heavily discounted, including Lululemon, Adidas, Kate Spade, Tory Burch and Coach.
Featured deals included Lululemon Align leggings at $84 from $128, an Anrabess maxi dress at $18 from $35 and a Kate Spade All Day tote at $90 from $399.
Several offers stretched beyond the 75% headline, including a gauze summer dress marked down by up to 80%, while some colors and sizes were already selling out.
The extended promotions suggest retailers are using post-holiday demand to keep shoppers buying after Memorial Day weekend, though the report said deal timing remains uncertain.
