As professional online shoppers, Refinery29 affiliate writers have a *spidey* sense for the best virtual sale sections and limited-time deals. Whether it's Lululemon's ol' reliable We Made Too Much sale or a flash deal on bestselling skin-care brands — where there's a clearance rack, there's an R29 shopping editor sizing up its price-slashed goods. And today, we present to you the best sales happening this weekend, according to us.
The best sales and/or deals must meet at least one of the following criteria: The discount is applied to a Refinery29 reader-favorite item (according to our anonymous shopping data), and it either takes a minimum of 25% off the full price or it's an item that's rarely discounted, making a slightly smaller price slash still notable. TL;DR: The following sales are ones to watch and worthy of a spot in all budget-friendly carts — we mean, in our opinion.

Welcome to Refinery29’s So, How Is It Really? where we take a look at all of the topics that have the internet talking. In studying them up close, we answer the question of what it’s really like to try out a trend, a viral product, or an unexpected TikTok hack. This month, we review the Madewell Harlow, the bestselling pants that sell every 2.5 minutes and have sold out five times to date.
Since Madewell released the Harlow Pant in 2022, the trouser has become one of the retailer’s most popular items (and a TikTik favorite!). Not only does the high-waisted, wide-leg, pleated style come in several fabrics (cotton, linen, denim), but it’s also available in a myriad of colors (black, green, pink, brown, and more) and different sizing ranges (petite, regular, tall, plus). Here at Refinery29, we’ve had our eye on the customer favorite for a while. But it wasn’t until November when Madewell dropped the Harlow in a new satin fabrication, which comes in black and brown colorways, that we decided to test the trousers firsthand. A staple of holiday dressing season and eveningwear, could satin translate into a daytime must-have? To find out, we wore Madewell’s Harlow trousers day and night to see if they are as versatile as the reviews claim them to be. Ahead, our thoughts.
Madewell Harlow Pant: Day Look
“I’m 5’2, so a full-length pant — let alone a wide-legged style — has always been hard for me to pull off; ill-fitting trousers had the unfortunate effect of making me appear shorter and frumpy, instead of nailing the whole cool-girl, intentionally oversized look. Madewell has been my longtime go-to for denim, especially for petite lengths that don’t require a trip to the tailor. Because of that, I was optimistic about trying the brand’s bestselling Harlow Pant (in petite size 0) reimagined in festive satin for party season.
“First impressions: The fit was on point — it hugged my waist but the legs were swishy and roomy without being balloon-like. I also loved that the black satin fabric wasn’t overly shiny, but mimicked silk with its lightweight, draped feel and subtle sheen. (This also helped it coordinate effortlessly with everything from a crisp white tee to a sheer blouse.) Bonus: These pants are as comfy as pajamas.”
“While a lot of people tend to stay away from satin pants for fear of appearing too formal, I like silky fabrics for the way they can instantly elevate simple basics like a button-down or a tee while remaining comfortable, unlike more structured pant styles. This pair, in particular, has a more casual feel thanks to the wide-leg hemline and loose fit. Speaking of which: If you are between sizes (I go between US sizes 4 and 6), I suggest sizing down as the fit is fairly oversized.
“For a weekend look, I paired the Harlow pants with a shirt-hoodie-hybrid top that I got during a recent trip to France. You can also wear these pants with a sweater: For Thanksgiving dinner, I paired them with a ribbed cream turtleneck, an effortlessly cozy look that got me through the entire day.”
Madewell Harlow Pant: Night Look
“While watching Platonic earlier this year, I fell in love with one of Rose Byrne’s character’s looks that consisted of a pair of silky cargo pants and a halter top. I instantly bought the latter from Staud (albeit in a black colorway rather than the orange featured on the show), and have been waiting to find the right pants. When paired with the top, heeled mules, and a sparkly bag, the Harlow trousers instantly took on a going-out look that can go from a cocktail party to a dinner.” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director
Madewell Harlow Pant: Day Look
“While I love tailored pants, satin ones always make me nervous. The material often wrinkles easily and it rarely carries the same weight as other heavier fabrics. Also, the shine makes it difficult to wear during the day. So I was pleasantly surprised at how versatile Madewell’s Harlow pants are. I recently packed them for a trip to Portugal, wearing them for a three-hour train ride, as well as a casual dinner in Lisbon. Throughout the trip, I found it easy to release the wrinkles created in the suitcase with a simple spritz of wrinkle spray.
“I’ve also styled them for work, wearing a chocolate brown shirt and Oxford shoes for a look that easily translated from work-from-home to in-person meetings.”

“The thing about these Harlow pants is that while they are very comfortable, they’re good party pants. For a holiday party look, I styled them with a feathered top and glitter platforms. Given how much I’ve worn them in just a week, I can see why they’re so famous on TikTok. A good investment for holiday party dressing and beyond.” — Frances Solá-Santiago, Fashion Writer

While skiwear is something that has to be functional, that doesn’t mean it can’t also be head-turning, too. Known best for its brightly coloured frocks, Brazilian brand Farm Rio is now stepping out into skiwear — and boy, does it look good. Featuring vibrant designs covered in tropical fruits, animals and flowers, the 11-piece collection was made to make a statement on the slopes. Whether it’s the cobalt blue ski pants with neon piping or the patchwork print jumpsuit catching your eye, there’s something to suit every style-conscious snow bunny.

Curated by co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, an immersive exhibition by Prada is inviting spectators to take a trip down memory lane. Taking place at the Start Museum in Shanghai, the show looks at the history of the legendary brand, including 400 artefacts from its fashion archives, alongside digital displays of their work across art, architecture and culture. Designed as an industrial Italian warehouse filled with lush luxury objects, the brand’s second iteration of the Prada universe is set to be a grand exploration of one of the world’s most famous fashion houses.

While Zara's beauty line might be best known for its affordable fragrances, this winter the brand is expanding into the haircare space with the 'Hair Holiday Set'. Starting with a statement four-piece collection, the kit aims to add some gilded glamour to your festive hairstyles with the help of a gold glitter styling spray, gel, bobby pins and a comb. Designed by industry-famous hairstylist Guido Palau, the kit is described as 'makeup for hair' and promises to transform even the most simple of up-do's into a statement seasonal look (watch this space for the launch of key hair essentials in 2024).
Last year, the launch of Phlur’s “Missing Person” perfume sent the internet into a tailspin. Now, the viral fragrance makers are back with an all-new scent, this time with candy lovers in mind. Inspired by fruit gummies, the neon green bottle is packed with dragonfruit top notes, orange flower heart notes and sheer amber base notes, making it the perfect present for the sweet tooth in your life (even if that means buying it for yourself).
We all know about the benefits of hyaluronic acid in skincare, but how about in haircare too? The latest launch from Ouai combines the super-hydrating ingredient with nourishing rice water to help promote super shiny lengths, growth and improve overall hair health. Unlike other more traditional shine products, the gloss is designed to be used as part of your hair washing routine — but don’t worry, the formula contains sugar beets to help keep your colour protected.
While y2k lip plumpers may have been full of gritty glitters, the new plumping gloss from Il Makiage promises a much more sophisticated experience. Using peptides, peppermint oil and caffeine to create a nourishing and natural pillowy lip, the formula promises a hydrating smoothing finish without the stickiness. Available in five different shades (“Lights On” is our personal fave), this plumping gloss goes way beyond tingles to give you the perfect peppermint pout.
