As it is the beginning of the summer season, it is time for the all important summer event: the sample sale. Lately, New York has been host to tons of sample sales and clothing discounts. They run the gamut from true sample sales, to discounts, to free clothes when you donate old ones. So get out there, shed your layers, and pick up some new clothes for the upcoming beach season.

Theory Sample Sale: Theory is one of the hottest brands in fashion today, and starting today they are throwing one of their great sample sales. The sale runs from now through June 9th, and has tons of amazing merchandise at discounts of up 70% off. I think this sale, run by clothingline, is aimed primarily at women, although I’m sure theory will have some of their great men’s stuff there as well. If not, guys can always go just to check out the women shopping there!

Lacoste Shirt Exchange: Sometimes, big brands can have a heart. And sometimes, those big brands give you a reward for helping them have a heart. This is one of those times. Tomorrow (Thursday 6/2), Lacoste will be running a clothing drive for shirts in Greeley Square in Midtown. Simply bring a “gently used” shirt to the drive, and you’ll receive a $50 gift card towards any Lacoste store.

John Varvatos Sample Sale: The one thing every man needs for a summer is a good light weight summer suit, and we know just the place for you to get it. John Varvatos is hosting its annual spring/summer sample sale, where suits, pants, blazers, button-downs, shoes and more are up to 40% off. This line is so versatile, you can wear it to work or out at night, so the sale is definitely worth checking out.

Old Navy Coupon: For those not looking to break the bank, we have something for you too. Old Navy is currently offering a $5 off coupon for all purchases over $25. Simply print it out, bring it on, and walk out with some new clothes.
