When it comes to fashion, there are certain brands that very rarely, if ever, go on sale. Sometimes the quality and overall value make them worth the full price. Other times, items are so limited or desirable that paying retail actually is the best deal.
But for everyday wardrobe pieces, the average person is usually looking (or at least hoping) for a better deal. As a casual online shopper, it can be hard to predict future deals or anticipate sale patterns, so we rounded up a few of our favorite places to shop that frequently run promotions.
Although we're not saying that you won't ever find solid value in these brands at full price, a bit of savvy shopping can usually get you the items you want for less. From workwear essentials for men and women to casual clothes for the entire family, you'll find an assortment of staples that belong in your closet here.

Bonobos
Bonobos
Shop at Bonobos now.
If you're looking for premium menswear for work, weekends, and everywhere in-between, Bonobos has it. The brand does a great job of offering products in different fits and expanded sizes. While Bonobos adds hundreds of new styles to its catalog each season (some that you might want to purchase immediately), a little bit of patience could save you some money. In addition to sales on the major holidays, Bonobos likes to do flash sales with discounts on new arrivals and end of season sales.
For a limited time, Bonobos is offering an extra 50% off sale and final sales items with the promo code "STAYHANDSOME" at checkout.

Levi's
Levi's
Shop at Levi's now.
With such deep roots in American culture, Levi's denim is a cornerstone of fashion. The brand's jeans and other denim pieces are some of the most timeless you can have in your wardrobe, but that doesn't mean you should pay full price. With the exception of special collections or collaborations, Levi's often has a sale going on that will save you money on the items you want. If by chance the items you want aren't included, they'll likely make it to the sale section if you're patient enough.

Ann Taylor
Shop at Ann Taylor now.
Ann Taylor is one of the best places for women to find affordable workwear, along with an extended selection of petite and tall sizes. While most retailers mark items down once the season is nearly over, Ann Taylor has nice deals on new arrivals, so you can wear them while they're still in season.

Dockers
Shop at Dockers now.
Khakis have a place in every business casual wardrobe, and Dockers has made it a point to perfect them. By offering khakis, chinos, and other dress pants in a variety of fits, materials, and colors, Dockers appeals to working guys regardless of how they define their style. You won't empty your wallet as Dockers typically gives a discount when you spend a certain amount and often hosts sitewide sales.

Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren
Shop at Ralph Lauren now.
I've gone on record saying that Ralph Lauren is my favorite clothing brand, and a big part of that has to do with the discounts. Ralph Lauren does occasionally release limited-edition items that sell out quickly (you'll have to pay full price for those items), but you'll find most everything else on sale eventually. Some of my favorite pieces I own include polos, T-shirts, hoodies, fleeces, socks, belts, hats, boots, and gloves, which were all purchased during a Ralph Lauren sale.
Right now, you can save up to 40% on sale items for men, women, kids, and home.
Gap
Gap
Shop at Gap now.
As the parent company of Old Navy, Gap tends to have a similar range of wardrobe basics, but in a slightly more elevated form. While Gap items are usually more expensive than its Old Navy counterpart, you can regularly find deep discounts that make them more affordable.
Until May 1, you can save up to 75% on everything, plus an extra 50% off markdowns with the promo code "PERK" at checkout.

J.Crew is a great place to find fashion-forward wardrobe essentials. The brand offers everything from T-shirts and jeans to business casual button-ups and chinos, and there's even formal attire like suits. While the clothes are good quality, there's no need to pay full price for them considering how often J.Crew runs promotions. You'll regularly find sales on full-price and sale items — and if there's not one running at the moment, there will be soon.
