Updated on Thursday, December 5, 2024: If you’re a fan of Anthropologie’s eclectic styles, their thoughtfully curated collections, or simply love snagging a good deal, Anthropologie’s After-Christmas Clearance Sale is definitely worth marking on your calendar.
For 2024, the sale is expected to kick off on December 25, 2024, right after the holiday festivities wind down, and will likely be referred to as their “End-of-Season Sale.” This sale is usually pretty big—spanning everything from clothing and accessories to home decor—and it’s a perfect opportunity to scoop up those special pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. Here’s everything you need to know, from the likely discounts to what you should be looking out for.
When Does Anthropologie’s After-Christmas Sale Start?
The sale is expected to officially start on December 25, 2024, so if you’re someone who spends Christmas morning cozy by the fire, you might want to take a moment to browse Anthropologie’s site during your downtime. The event will likely run across all of their U.S. and Canadian stores, as well as at anthropologie.com.
While Anthropologie rarely lists an official end date for this sale, previous years suggest that the discounts could last into mid-January—but don’t let that fool you into waiting too long. Stock tends to fly off the shelves (both physical and virtual) during this sale, especially for highly sought-after categories like holiday decor and winter accessories.
What Discounts Can You Expect?
Here’s where things get exciting. Anthropologie’s After-Christmas Sale typically comes with two standout offers:
- Extra 40% Off All Sale Items
- Already-reduced sale items will get an additional 40% knocked off at checkout. These pieces range from bohemian-inspired clothing to cozy loungewear, making this discount one of the most anticipated parts of the sale.
- Keep in mind: These items are usually considered final sale, which means no returns or exchanges.
- 50% Off Winter Accessories and Holiday Decor
- Expect to see all remaining holiday-themed items—think ornaments, garlands, and festive dinnerware—marked down by half. This discount will also likely apply to winter staples like scarves, gloves, and knit hats.
- These items are perfect if you want to get a head start on next year’s holiday decor or snag a few last-minute cold-weather essentials.
Exclusions to Be Aware Of
Anthropologie does have its fair share of exclusions, so it’s good to know what not to expect during the sale. Full-price items, outlet items, and specialty collections such as Terrain, BHLDN gowns, and Found will likely not be included in the discounts. Additionally, gift cards and previously purchased items will also be excluded.
That said, the sale selection is still impressive, and there are plenty of gems to uncover without diving into excluded categories.
What to Buy During the Sale
Anthropologie’s After-Christmas Sale is the perfect time to stock up on unique, stylish finds that will add a touch of charm to your wardrobe or home. Here’s a breakdown of the best categories to shop:
1. Sale Clothing
The extra 40% off discount makes Anthropologie’s already-marked-down clothing even more appealing. This is the time to shop for:
- Statement pieces like embroidered jackets, bold-patterned dresses, or whimsical blouses.
- Seasonal staples, such as chunky knit sweaters or tailored trousers.
- Everyday basics with a boho twist, including cozy cardigans or relaxed-fit jeans.
Keep in mind that sizing can be limited during these sales, so if you see something you love, don’t wait too long to snag it.
2. Winter Accessories
Winter accessories are a personal favorite to shop during this sale. With 50% off, you’ll find beautiful scarves, hats, and gloves at prices that feel almost too good to be true. These items also make for great gifts (yes, it’s okay to think ahead to next holiday season!).
3. Holiday Decor
If you’re someone who loves decking the halls, this is the time to stock up for next year. Anthropologie’s holiday decor is nothing short of magical, featuring whimsical ornaments, cozy stockings, and elegant table settings. And with half-off discounts, these pieces are a steal.
4. Home Goods
While not guaranteed, Anthropologie’s sales often include markdowns on unique home items like candles, decorative vases, and cozy throw blankets. Keep an eye out for anything that could add a little charm to your space.
Tips for Shopping Anthropologie’s After-Christmas Sale
Let’s be real: Anthropologie’s sales can feel a little overwhelming with so much to choose from. Over the years, I’ve picked up a few strategies to make the most of this shopping event:
1. Shop Early
The best pieces—especially clothing in popular sizes—tend to sell out quickly. If you’re serious about scoring great deals, it’s worth setting a reminder to browse the sale as soon as it launches.
2. Prioritize Your Favorites
Before the sale begins, take a little time to browse Anthropologie’s current sale section. Bookmark your favorite items so you can quickly check if they’re included in the extra 40% off discount.
3. Double-Check Final Sale Policies
Since many of these items are considered final sale, take an extra moment to check sizing charts and product reviews before adding items to your cart. There’s nothing worse than ending up with something that doesn’t quite fit.
4. Use the Filters Online
If you’re shopping on Anthropologie’s website, make use of their filters to narrow down the selection by size, color, or price range. It’ll save you time and help you zero in on what you’re looking for.
5. Look for Winter Staples
Since this is an end-of-season sale, it’s the perfect opportunity to grab winter essentials you can use right now, like coats, boots, and sweaters.
