If you are planning to purchase clothing or fashion accessories for Christmas, you may want to buy the clothing during the Christmas sales. The holiday season brings the deepest promotions of the retail year to clothing stores, and this page points shoppers to Christmas sales, clothing stores and holiday fashion — including holiday office party attire — so gifts and party outfits can be bought while the sales are on.

Shopping the Season Sensibly
Christmas sales reward a plan because December punishes improvisation twice: prices and crowds both peak in the final days, while the best sale stock — popular sizes especially — sells through early. Gift clothing bought during the early-season promotions can be chosen by size and taste rather than by what is left, and keeping receipts and gift receipts matters more for clothing than for almost any other gift category, since fit is personal and exchanges are a normal part of clothing gifting. Retailers expect it: the January exchange traffic is built into how the season is staffed.
The season also splits into two different kinds of buying that this section keeps together. There is gift buying, where value and the January sales argue for patience on big items; and there is dressing for the holiday itself — office parties, family photographs, Christmas Day — where the deadline is fixed and waiting for a deeper discount risks having nothing to wear. The Christmas fashion guide linked from this page covers the dressing side, from girls' Christmas dresses to the ugly sweater tradition, while the store and sales links here cover the buying side. Treating the two as one list, made early, is the whole strategy the page points to.
