When do clothing sales usually start? Best regards, Julia.
Fashionistas are often worried when summer sales begin, or vice versa, winter sales. After all, this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase your favorite item at a much better price than at the height of the season. But how can you not miss this event?
In fact, stores do not have a single deadline for when prices begin to decrease. The dates are influenced by the collection's remaining stock, its popularity and other factors.
Summer discounts
But there are still certain periods when you can expect discounts. In summer it is usually the second half of June to August.
Please note that some brands conduct sales in several stages. The first wave occurs in June. Discounts at this time are minimal, do not exceed 30%. However, you should not ignore them. After all, right now there is a great chance to find the basic item you need or the dress you’ve been eyeing. Popular sizes are selling out quickly, so by the next wave of price cuts the selection will be quite limited.
Some brands have specially designated places in stores, so-called corners, for remnants of past collections. There you can find things at a discount and outside the sales season.
At the beginning of July and until August, the second stage begins, discounts reach 70%. Now there is a chance to get a stylish new thing at a very reasonable price. But to find something worthwhile in the right size, you will have to work hard. In some stores, sales take place in one stage, and begin in July. These brands offer maximum discounts.
Information about sales in shopping centers
Black Friday
In the last week of November, it is worth preparing for the first discounts of new collections. In all stores, the so-called “Black Friday”, and in some the sale starts on Thursday, opening hours are increasing. Don't miss the opportunity to buy “your size” of the clothes you like at a discount.
Winter discounts
If you are wondering when winter sales start, then you should be on your guard by mid-December. Price reductions may continue until mid-February. Stores, like in the summer, do not have a unified system. Some offer discounts early, others are trying to make the most of the New Year's rush. Therefore, it is necessary to keep an eye on your favorite brands.
How to find out when a sale starts
What to do so as not to miss the long-awaited moment? Stores are often slow to provide information about such events. Some brands change displays overnight without any prior announcement. You can only find out about the start of discounts by coming to the store.
To avoid such a situation, it makes sense to get a loyalty card. Of course, this applies primarily to your favorite brands. Sometimes such cards are issued simply upon request, in other cases a purchase for a certain amount may be required. But the cardholder receives an advantage not only in the form of discounts on purchases. They will be able to inform him over the phone about the sale dates. Just remember to leave your number. In addition, private sales are practiced in some stores. They are carried out exclusively for regular customers and before a massive price reduction. So there is a higher chance of finding a good item in your size.
Most brands have their own websites. Here you can view the collection and also subscribe to the newsletter. Then information about the start of discounts will be sent by email. If you have already tried on a set and decided on the size and color, then it is better to place an order through the online store.
How to make shopping fun
During the sales period, it is easy to lose your head, because the shop windows beckon with tempting offers.
In order not to regret later about wasted time or money, you should follow simple recommendations:
- The most important rule is that before going shopping you should make a list of necessary purchases. During a period of low prices, you can get carried away with studying the assortment and forget about what you really need.
- It’s worth planning a budget: how much you can spend on essentials and how much is left for spontaneous decisions.
- The selected item must be carefully inspected before purchase to notice any possible defects.
- It is recommended to thoroughly examine the contents of the shelves. Due to the large number of people, the correct size may not be in the right place.
- You shouldn’t think too long about the thing you like. If you put it aside even for a short time, then it is quite possible that someone else will like it.
- If you have doubts that an item is suitable, you need to critically examine yourself. You should not completely trust the opinions of sellers or friends; you need to rely on your own feelings.
Clothes for a pleasant shopping experience
To make shopping a pleasure, you need to take care of suitable clothes. This is especially true during sales periods, when shopping will probably take a lot of time. It is worth planning your route so that you have the opportunity to take a break, for example, drink tea in a cafe or have a snack.
The main requirement for clothing is that it should be comfortable, loose enough, and easy to take off. Items with intricate locks and ties are best left for another occasion. After all, even if you plan to buy trousers, it is possible that you will really want to try on a nice blouse. Therefore, the entire set should be fairly easy to remove.
Shoes should also be comfortable. It is best to choose a pair without heels. At the same time, you should wear slip-ons rather than sneakers or sneakers, because then you won’t have to bother with laces.
If you need to choose shoes to match certain trousers, then it makes sense to go to the store in them. In different shoe models, the proportions may vary slightly; you won’t be able to see this without trying them on.
It is recommended to carry a minimum of accessories to the store. A watch or bracelet of an original shape may leave a snag on the new item during the fitting process. Large earrings can also cling to fabric. In addition, bright decorations affect the assessment of the item used. And if you take them off, there is a risk of forgetting them in the booth.
There are not very many requirements for the bag. It is undesirable for this accessory to be large, as it will restrict movement. It is best to choose a medium bag, roomy enough to fit all the necessary things. Lovers of small handbags can limit themselves to a miniature clutch. Anyway, the store will pack your purchase in a branded bag.
Minimal makeup is appropriate when shopping. War paint can stain the item chosen for trying on. You should do any hairstyle that you feel comfortable with. It is recommended to put long hair in a bun or braid it to keep it out of the way.
Shopping is a great way to relieve stress and lift your spirits. But you also need to approach it correctly. Make a plan, choose the right clothes and, of course, keep an eye on summer and winter sales.
The desire to save your hard-earned money is a normal and understandable phenomenon both for residents of Russia and for spendthrift Americans or tight-fisted Europeans. But at the same time, every person wants to eat well, dress well and relax. Combining business with pleasure, that is, not denying yourself every little thing, but at the same time preventing cunning sellers from profiting from satisfying their own needs is quite simple if you know the general principles of saving.
It is very important to buy good things not at an inflated price, but at their real price. You can put this rule into practice if you know when winter sales start and how long they last. “Why winter ones and not any other seasonal ones?” - an inexperienced shopaholic will ask. The fact is that it is during the cold season that such big and important holidays as New Year and Christmas occur, and every person considers it necessary to prepare for these important celebrations. Buying gifts for family and friends, replenishing your wardrobe with elegant items, or simply purchasing expensive winter clothes is always an expensive undertaking, so it’s better to know for sure when winter sales start. Moscow, St. Petersburg, the capitals and large cities of European countries, the USA, Japan and the United Arab Emirates have their own schemes for attracting buyers, different rules and promotion dates are established, so it is wiser to prepare for sales in advance.
Ideal time to shop
Statisticians report that in a fairly short period of time before the New Year and Christmas holidays, people spend three times more money than at any other time of the year. There is no need to explain why customers themselves should do this, but not everyone understands why stores agree to organize mega-sales, because when winter sales begin, some boutiques, chain stores and shopping centers give customers half the original cost of the goods.
The fact is that the buyer will make purchases in any case, and it is vital for sellers to attract him to their outlet and not let him go empty-handed. They use various tricks: they offer gifts, discounts, bonuses and privileges (compensation for future expenses, gift certificates in partner stores, entertainment venues, the opportunity to purchase several units of goods at a reduced price, etc.).
Winter promotions, sales and other methods of attracting customers truly know no bounds. However, the buyer must carefully monitor what sales consultants are trying to impose on him, because very often the “gift” turns out to be a fiction or simply not worth the money spent on the purchase.
Season is open
The first day of winter discounts falls at the end of autumn, but you need to take into account that this sale day is the most important event of the year for a real shopaholic. Its name is “Black Friday”. The tradition of organizing a mega-sale on the last Friday of November originated in the USA. On this day, shoppers besiege stores, occupying kilometer-long queues since the night, and literally sweep away from the windows everything that comes to their hand. In one weekend, sellers receive revenue equal to a quarter of their annual turnover. Such success of the event prompted the authorities of other countries to create their own “day of grand sales.” Thus, in London on December 2, car traffic in the West End area is blocked, 600 stores extend their opening hours by 2-3 hours so that customers can spend the money they have accumulated over the year to their hearts' content. The main Paris sale takes place on the night of January 18-19.
When the winter Black Friday sales begin, it is not at all necessary to personally visit noisy and crowded shopping centers. The trend of recent years is online shopping. The opportunity to make purchases without leaving the comfort of your home chair, not only within your own country, but also abroad, attracts buyers all over the world with great benefits. In addition to discounts, online stores reward customers with free shipping, no duties on certain groups of goods, and the ability to return or exchange unsuitable or unmarketable goods.
Growing beyond our years
Winter discounts most often begin to operate from the first ten days of December. The fact is that in Europe and the USA, the more important event is Christmas, which in the West is celebrated on December 24, and it is for this holiday that it is customary to prepare with maximum responsibility. Two weeks before an important event, retail outlets post advertisements that they can offer their customers discounts of 10-15%. The closer the holidays get, the more significant the benefits from the purchase become. So, on the eve of the prices are reduced by 25-30%.
After the New Year, or rather January 7-10, total sales begin, and they last until Valentine's Day. The peak of the discount may be minus 80-90% on the price tag. It is worth considering that when sales reach this level, it is almost impossible to find shoes or clothes of the right size, cosmetics or perfume of the most popular brands and types in the store. When the sale of winter clothes, shoes, jewelry and accessories begins (from mid-January), the goods quickly disappear from store shelves. But miracles happen, and why not take the risk by waiting for the final offer from the store?
US Sales
Americans are famous for their high purchasing power and passion for spending money. Even when they have no funds of their own, residents of this overseas country see nothing wrong with purchasing goods on credit.
Retail chains feed this passion for shopaholism, and to further stimulate their customers, they have created a schedule of discounts and promotions, so Americans know not only the date when winter sales begin, but also which days are the most profitable for shopping.
- Christmas;
- New Year;
- King's Day;
- Valentine's Day;
- Presidents Day.
Winter trading in Europe
Almost every resident of our country has heard about such a phenomenon as shopping tours in Western European countries. A global wardrobe update and purchasing New Year's gifts abroad has become a common thing for Russian residents. This is not surprising, because when winter sales begin in Moscow, Milan, Paris, London and Madrid are already selling out last year's assortment. Their total sales occur at approximately the same time and have the same “expiration date”:
- France has set sales times at the official level and does not change the dates - from January 6 to February 16.
- Italy - January 7 - February 28. Shopping in different cities of this country can please you in different ways; for example, shopping in Milan and Bologna will be more expensive than in Rome.
- The winter months are the longest (all of December and January). This is a paradise for lovers of casual clothing and everyday goods. Prices for such goods are always reasonable here, and the choice is very diverse.
- Eastern European countries have become no less popular destinations for shopping tourists. Poland begins a total sale after finishing the New Year celebration, Lithuania - after Catholic Christmas, the “red days” last in the stores of these countries until the end of February.
We can afford everything
Unlike European or American traditions, sales in Russia have their own mental flavor and flavor. From mid-December, when winter sales begin in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other large cities of the country, until the end of the calendar winter, buyers are unlikely to find price tags with marks of minus fifty percent or more. The most profitable time for shopping will be February, because in our country it is customary to stretch it out throughout January, and stores do not want to lose their profits.
Unfortunately, it is more profitable for domestic buyers to go abroad and purchase branded items and purchase them there. But as for the mass market, casual clothing and shoes, these goods are sold much more readily than those from world-famous brands.
There’s no point in putting off until the end of winter; it’s best to go shopping immediately after the New Year, otherwise popular items will pass you by.
Shopping without borders
Online trading has been gaining more and more momentum in recent years. Even inexperienced online users have the luxury of shopping abroad. Special intermediary organizations help with this. Moreover, large online stores create their resources also for Russian-speaking customers.
Virtual stores follow global trends and conduct sales at the same level as traditional boutiques. It should also be noted that prices there are much lower, because organizing online trading is a less expensive undertaking than creating a real store.

I was at MEGA Khimki yesterday. I went to Calvin Klein and was pleasantly surprised with discounts of up to 30%. I bought myself a cute down jacket. If it weren’t for the promotion, it would have been a little expensive for me, but the item is branded and the price is reasonable. I'm very pleased. I can imagine how jealous my friends will be when they see it.
Alenka
My friends and I always go to Mega when we manage to beg money from our parents. Mom says that this is how my taste develops. I really love the Zara store, they have such cool things, although I rarely buy expensive ones, but things from Zara are my favorite and my girlfriends are jealous.
Catherine
My friends and I often take our idiots to the skating rink, and we ourselves sit drinking coffee and gossiping (well, you understand what I mean), and if someone needs something, the advisers are already nearby. And it’s fun and the children feel good, and the home is positive, and the husband doesn’t twitch (he knows where to look).
Svetlana
I constantly monitor Mega discounts, promotions and seasonal sales on websites. Saved a lot of money. Moreover, the quality remains high. Fortunately, I live five minutes from Mega-Khimki, so I go there often and taught my husband to do so. Almost his entire wardrobe was bought at Mega. Great store and decent service.
Anna
Yesterday the children and I went to Mega-Khimki to buy gifts and update our wardrobe. We spent almost seven hours there. We bought everything we needed, and everything that wasn’t very useful, but would be useful (that’s what my wife said when they started sorting out the purchases at home). The children arrive in complete delight; although they are tired, they have received a lot of impressions and beautiful things. The selection at Mega is huge and the prices are affordable, and the quality matches. So Mega became our family's favorite store. P.S. There are also many places in Mega where you can eat inexpensively and deliciously. Thanks Mega.
Lena
Mega this is great! For me, going there for shopping is a whole ritual. I specifically choose a day to spend it leisurely and with pleasure in my favorite store. Walk through your favorite departments, see what sellers offer, what discounts there are; then sit quietly and drink some coffee (or you can also have a snack - there is a very wide choice of establishments). And then go shopping!!! Well, isn't that great? And then, when you calculate how much you saved on discounts, having bought everything you wanted, you understand that shopping at your favorite Mega is just a holiday! By the way, if there is an urgent need to buy a certain thing, I immediately go only to Mega, because I know that I will definitely find it there!
