If your brain’s about to explode because of all the Memorial Day sales going on right now (me), allow me save you some time and energy. Abercrombie & Fitch’s Memorial Day sale is possibly the only one you really need to check out. Almost the entire site is discounted for a limited time, so don’t wait to fill up your cart and add some summer must-haves to your regular rotation.
Thanks to the recent Abercrombie revival, my loyalty is back with the brand that dressed me head to toe in mismatching A&F tees and sweatpants—tucked into my boots with the fur, of course. I’ve rediscovered just why I used to stop into the cologne-heavy stores every time I went to the mall, and I’m so glad I did. Abercrombie never misses when it comes to closet staples that are both on-trend and versatile. I’ve gotten essentials, like trousers, shorts, sweaters, dresses, and tops, that I simply can’t live without. They’re pieces I can wear again and again and again, no matter the season or occasion.
If you’re trying to elevate your wardrobe ahead of summer, make Abercrombie’s Memorial Day sale your first (and only) stop. Almost everything on the site is marked down by 20 percent from May 22 through May 27. That leaves you with a decent amount of time to peruse the site, but if you have a jam-packed Memorial Day weekend ahead of you, keep scrolling for some inpso. Below, find 10 things I’d order online from Abercrombie’s summer kickoff event—your wallet can thank me later.
- Sizes: XXS-XXL in Petite, Regular, Tall

No summer wardrobe is complete without a cute, classic, simple mini dress. This linen frock is perfect for traveling, rooftop bars, bottomless mimosas, park picnics, you name it. And don’t worry about overheating; the linen-blend fabric will be sure to keep you cool.
- Sizes: XXS-XXXL in Short, Regular, Long
- Colors: 8
Your legs will SWEAT if you wear jeans during peak summertime, so instead, opt for a pair of linen pants. These ones are ultra high rise and feature easy, breezy, wide legs. Plus, they’re certainly not stiff pants; the elasticated waistband ensures you’re comfy all day long. I could see them fitting perfectly into a summer capsule wardrobe if you’re traveling with little suitcase space or just want to simplify your closet.
While I own the Paloma Top in a light brown color that’s no longer available, I like it so much that I’m tempted to order it in additional colors. The canary yellow and sky blue versions have my full attention. But what I love most about this top are the ruching details that make it more unique than any old sleeveless top or tank.
What’s a girl to wear on a warm night out in the summer? This mini skort, of course! If you, like me, get worried about wardrobe malfunctions when it comes to mini skirts, this skort is the obvious solution. It comes with a shorts lining to avoid accidents, along with a back waistband elastic to ensure a secure, comfortable fit. Plus, you can easily carry this piece into fall, winter, and spring with the help of tights and boots.

You’re bound to have plans this summer that require something a bit dressier. Look no further than the Smocked Bodice Maxi Dress that has an adjustable tie-back detail and tiered flowy skirt. Although the white colorway is a safe (and super versatile) option, the floral prints make this garment feel a bit more sophisticated and summery.
I can confidently say these tailored shorts are not only extremely comfortable but incredibly chic, too. I have them in black and think they’re the perfect piece to throw on if you’re unsure what to wear in the morning. Pair it with a basic tee or tank for quite possible the easiest outfit ever. However, if you’re headed to a nighttime event, style these shorts with an oversized blazer and heeled sandals to give major lady boss energy.
ICYMI, Abercrombie makes swimwear! This bikini top is one of the most popular styles at the moment, and I can see why. It’s made of a ribbed fabric, features unlined cups, and comes with adjustable straps. The bright red option with a sheer, white button-down, oversized sunnies, and a floppy hat might actually get you a one-way ticket to a beach in Europe.
- Sizes: XXS-XXL
- Colors: 10
I feel like I’m always on the hunt for the perfect basic t-shirt that crops right where I want it, and the Essential Polished Body-Skimming Tee might be what my closet’s been missing. Made from Abercrombie’s softAF fabric, this tiny tee hits right at the waist, so you know it’ll look amazing with straight leg jeans, low-rise jorts, or even a tennis skirt.
- Sizes: 24-34 in Petite, Regular, Tall
- Colors: 5
For cooler summer night activities, reach for the Denim Midi Skirt. The front slit is sure to give you a flattering fit and will also let you show off a pair of knee-high boots or strappy sandals—whatever floats your boat!
If you’re already a fan of the Palmoa Top I mentioned above, try it in this knit material. I love the unique texture this top can bring to any outfit, and of course, a slim fit is always appreciated during the summer.
