The Five Best Places to Shop After Christmas

Black Friday is for the amateurs. Real shoppers sharpen elbows for the day after Christmas. It’s usually the time of year where you can find a rather good selection of merchandise that’s highly discounted.

Many retailers started their markdowns early, which means post-Christmas shopping might not be as robust as usual. Nonetheless, over the course of the week, you’ll be able to find great opportunities to pounce on hard-to-find items that may have just been returned. Below are some of our favorite post-Christmas shopping destinations. Share your favorites in the comment section below:

1. Saks Fifth Avenue
Saks always tops our list of favorite places to shop after Christmas but this year the Fifth Avenue store started it’s markdowns early. The selection at the store on Thursday might not be as good as usual. To save you some time, we did some preholiday “fieldwork” and grabbed pictures of what you will be able to find at the store for 60% to 70% off. Click here to see. You can still grab this Givenchy Mystic online for $1046 from $3000 or this Balenciaga rainbow bag for $800 from $2290.

2. Bergdorf Goodman
If the current discounts of an extra 15% off aren’t enough, you can pounce on the post-Xmas official third markdown. Discounts on clothing will officially hit 75% off. The shoe department at the store is severely anemic and there are very few handbags worth mentioning. This is the time of year when it pays to pick up an extra special piece of clothing that will enhance your wardrobe. I’m calling dibs on this Prada leather skirt and this Men’s Moncler shirt is now just $146 from $250.

3. Nordstrom
Nordstrom’s ‘best sale of the season’ just went live online. The promotion boasts discounts up to 50% off but designer merchandise is reduced much more. Balenciaga bow sandals and this Alanui cashmere belted sweater are 60% off. Here are Givenchy logo leggings that are $250 from $635 and

4. Neiman Marcus
We suggest you stop refreshing and waiting for the big markdown or discount promotion on designer merchandise. It’s not happening today or even tomorrow but give it a few days and we promise you won’t be disappointed. Right now, these Givenchy mirror heels are a great deal for $318 from $850 and these Valentino oversized logo sandals are $430 from $775.

5. MyTheresa
We don’t usually love MyTheresa’s late and slow markdowns but the upside is that they are able to hold on to a lot of good merchandise. Starting at midnight, discounts will hit 70% off. We have our eyes watching this Ascot bag from The Row and this Fendi travel bag that’s a few seasons old.
