If you're a student in Canada, you have access to a layer of fashion discounts that most people don't know about. Some brands offer permanent student discounts; others have seasonal programs. Here's everything available.
Student Discount Programs: Canada
UNiDAYS and Student Beans
Most brand-specific student discounts in Canada flow through two platforms:
- UNiDAYS (myunidays.com) — Verify your student status once, then access codes for dozens of brands
- Student Beans (studentbeans.com) — Similar verification, slightly different brand roster
Sign up for both. There's overlap, but brands are sometimes on one and not the other.

Stacking Student Discounts with Sales
The real power comes from stacking:
Student discount + sitewide sale: Some brands allow this (Adidas, for example). 15% student discount on top of a 25% sitewide sale = effectively ~37% off.
Student discount + outlet/sale section: Adidas and Nike student codes sometimes apply to sale items. This is rarer but worth testing.
Black Friday + student: Some brands deactivate student codes during major sale events. Test at checkout.
When Student Discounts Are Better Than Sale Events
For brands like Aritzia (which rarely goes on sale), a 10–15% student discount is often the only discount you'll ever get. It's worth using even on full-price items.
For brands with frequent sales (Gap, H&M, American Eagle), wait for sitewide events — a 40% off event beats a 15% student discount every time.
Setting Up Your Student Discount Access
- Verify on UNiDAYS (myunidays.com) with your university email
- Verify on Student Beans (studentbeans.com) as a backup
- Save verified codes to a notes app for quick checkout access
- Re-verify annually — student status expires and needs renewal
Pro Tip: Combine with Closetta
Student discounts are your baseline. Closetta covers the sale events. When a brand like Adidas runs a 25% sitewide sale AND you have a 15% student code, you can sometimes combine both — saving significantly more than either alone.
