Although the poolside partying and beach barbecuing may suggest otherwise, this upcoming Memorial Day weekend is our country's solemn remembrance of lost war heroes — so why not salute 'em in true American fashion by getting spendy? Retailers are already honoring Monday's holiday by unleashing major markdowns on past and current-season merch, which makes now a prime opportunity to prep your wardrobe for summer.

Lest you forget, London-based label Miista is hosting its first-ever LA sample sale (shoes start at just $30!) starting Friday at The Brewery, located on the outskirts of Chinatown. While you're in the neighborhood, you might want to hit up The Well's cool-kid blowout, which promises up to 50% off avant-garde designers like Henri Vibskov and Vivienne Westwood. Continue making your DTLA rounds at Heidi Merrick's bubbly-fueled sale and Wittmore's menswear markdowns, which are are also happening at the shop's West Third Street locations.

If you're looking for luxe designer labels, Pacific Palisades boutique Elyse Walker and Stella McCartney are also offering serious deals. See the full roster of LA's Memorial Day weekend sales in map form below, and keep checking back as we'll be updating this guide as more sales are announced.
