About the prices: The Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, Coach Outlet, Amazon, Best Buy, Ulta Beauty and REI Outlet product details were supplied on September 26, 2026; Best Buy prices were calculated from the supplied comparable values and savings. * The Royal Luxe comforter’s $23.09 price includes code BEST (sale price $32.99; original $140.00); the Theory jacket’s $88.88 price includes the Friends & Family 25% discount. For Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, Coach Outlet, Best Buy and REI Outlet, “Comp.” is the supplied comparable value, not a previous selling price.

Prices, availability, colors, sizes and terms may change; the Calvin Klein item was marked Last Act final sale and the Tommy Hilfiger item a limited-time special. Follow each retailer for current details.

02 / THE OUTLET EDIT

The different ways a deal can happen.

“Outlet” is not one single kind of store. Knowing the format makes the hunt more fun—and helps you spot pieces you genuinely want.

01

Official brand outlet

The brand’s own value channel may mix past-season items with designs made for outlet. A great place to explore its wider universe.

02

Off-price retailer

Labels and stock change fast. Browse with an open mind and filter by your size before your favorite find disappears.

03

Department-store clearance

Selected pieces from a multi-brand assortment move into deeper markdowns as the season changes.

04

Factory collection

A separate assortment designed for the value channel. Pick the fabric, finish and details you like, not just the percentage.
