Technically, we’re still in spring, but if I’m being honest, the only thing on my mind is summer. It’s been over a decade since I’ve had a proper summer vacation where I was free to do whatever I wanted for at least three months (ugh, how I miss being in school). And while those days feel like a lifetime ago, I still like to follow some rules that I set all those years ago. For instance, shorts are the only form of “pants” that are acceptable and a swimsuit should be worn at least once a week (and I’m very serious about that). This means I’m going to need to replenish my summer wardrobe expeditiously and luckily, Abercrombie’s Prep for Summer Sale has officially entered the chat.
This weekend only, Abercrombie is blessing their shoppers with another can’t-miss sale. Over the next few days, you can save 25% to 40% off all shorts and swimwear sitewide, which is perfect for me and my dress code, but also for you. Everyone knows Abercrombie has stepped up their game and offers tons of trendy styles that can compete with brands like Zara or Aritzia. Their shorts section is filled with all sorts of tailored options, linen pieces, and of course, their world-famous denim. Their swimwear category has tons of styles and fits that are bound to meet all your needs. But it doesn’t stop there. Next to saving up to 40% off shorts and swimsuits, you can also save 20% off almost everything else. So if you need new dresses or basics, you can save on those too this weekend.
Below, shop my top shorts and swim picks to grab before summer begins.
