When & Where to Find Designer Denim on Sale

May 19, 2016

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you’ve probably noticed I love denim. Nothing makes me feel more confident than a pair of jeans with an amazing fit, and over the last few years, I’ve come to realize that paying more for designer denim brands is worth every penny. And yes, while they can certainly be expensive, would you believe me if I told you I have NEVER paid full price for any of my designer jeans? The key is knowing when and where to purchase them, and I’ll be revealing my shopping secrets in this post. So go ahead, grab a cup of coffee (or glass of wine depending on the time where you are) and let me help you find your new favorite pair!There are two important things to remember when searching for designer jeans on sale: when and where to shop.

When:

Famous brands like AG Jeans, 7FAM and Paige Denim have twice-yearly sales on their websites (usually fall and spring), during which you can receive up to 40% off your purchase, including new styles. Speaking of which, the AG Jeans Friends & Family sale is actually starting today! (Check my outfit details for the code). I also want to mention that any time a site like Saks Fifth Avenue or Neiman Marcus does a promotion such as ‘spend $200, get $75 off your purchase’ or something along those lines, the deal almost always works on denim.

Where:

Discount websites like Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off 5th are usually the first places to receive designer denim when styles get marked down in department stores to make room for new inventory. But sometimes, the sale items are still being sold for full price on other sites—the pair I am wearing here is still listed on AG’s website at full retail and I found mine at Nordstrom Rack for over 50% off! Additionally, if you sign up to be on their email lists, these sites will send you email alerts about special sale events. Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and ShopBop are some of my other favorite sources for designer denim and since I’ve learned that most styles will go on sale eventually, I always keep a wish list going of my favorites so I will know as soon as there is a price reduction.Sometimes the best way to let a good pair of jeans take center stage for an outfit is by pairing it with a plain top. A basic white tee and jeans combo doesn’t have to be boring—focus on accessories to liven it up! I elevated the look of these boyfriend jeans with polished pumps and an elegant handbag.Following my outfit details, I’ve listed the best sites to find designer denim on sale up to 70% off, plus my favorite picks from each which have the most sizes in stock. Happy shopping—if you have any questions about sizing or certain brands, feel free to send me an email or leave a comment!
