Yes, Fourth of July weekend is known for sunny pool days and big barbecues, but the true deal hunters know that it's also a great time to take advantage of massive sales. This year, both major retailers and smaller beloved brands are marking down apparel that's perfect for the summer months ahead. We're talking sundresses, shorts, sandals, swimwear, and lots more. If your closet is in need of a seasonal refresh, now is the time to do it on a budget. We have scoured the web and can confirm that prices have drastically dropped from now through the end of July 4.

If you're overwhelmed by the thousands upon thousands of choices, our editors curated a shopping guide to the very best sales that are worthy of your attention. Stores like Nordstrom, Loft, Old Navy, Aerie, Target, Shopbop, and more are offering impressive discounts. We have organized the deals ahead by retailer, so you can see our favorite markdowns in one place. Make sure to click through everything and consider a few of these cute pieces for yourself.
