Go early to get exactly what you want and in your size.

The first day of the sale will have a pretty substantial discount. It will definitely be better than any sale available in-store on online but it won’t be the best discount of the Sample Sale. The benefit of going the first day is to see most of the available stock that will be on sale and to get things in your size.

Note: Most sales will get new shipments everyday. So, they may restock things that seemed low on the first day and bring out new pieces throughout the sale. Sometimes, it’s a gamble to purchase on the first day but you don’t want to not buy something that you really want and risk it being gone waiting for the larger discount.

Hello, non-buyer’s remorse.

Go the last day for the deepest discount.

If you really don’t have a dog in the fight and you just want some good designer digs for less, go the last day. This will hands down be the best discount of all time. Keep in mind that the selection will be picked over and you’ll have to sift through what’s leftover.

Take a look at the current and previous Season online to get an idea of what will be available at the Sample Sale. Make a list to keep you focused.

You can find Sample Sales by following designers and PR agencies that you like on Instagram and signing up for their newsletters where they will announce their Sample Sales. Also, follows accounts like @="https://www. instagram. com/260samplesale/">260SampleSale. The sale typically takes place in fashion focused cities like New York, Los Angeles, Paris and London and sometimes online!

Try to resist the urge to buy pieces that you really aren’t going to wear or use just because there are some strategically placed pressure points placed throughout the sale i. e. Limited quantities, large crowds and limited days.

Pack light.

Depending on the sale, they’ll make you check your belongings at the door and you’ll only be allowed to have your phone and wallet. Also, just in case the line for the fitting room wraps around the room twice, you may want to wear leggings and a tank that will allow you to try-on pieces on the sales floor.

I know. Super bougie.

Welp, those are the tips that have helped me navigate the Sample Sale shopping world.
