Victoria Day long weekend means a wave of Canadian fashion and activewear sales — and this year, a dozen brands are running discounts that expire tomorrow, May 18. Here's what's worth shopping, ranked by value, with historical context so you know which deals are actually good.
The Sales Ending May 18 (Act Fast)
RW&CO — 30% Off Regular-Priced Styles
A straightforward 30% off men's and women's regular-priced items. Historical context: RW&CO has been running 50–60% off events all year, so this one is on the shallower end. Worth it if you've been eyeing a specific piece at full price.
Ends: May 18
The North Face — Up to 25% Off
The North Face's Victoria Day event is capped at 25% off. For context, their deepest tracked discount this year was 65% off in March — so this sale is genuinely shallow by comparison. Fine for basics, but if you're after outerwear, the March clearance was the real moment.
Ends: May 18
New Balance — Up to 25% Off
New Balance showed up in our data for the first time this month at 25%. No earlier history to compare against, but 25% off is a solid entry point for footwear — especially on styles that rarely see markdowns.
Ends: May 18
Skechers — 20% Off Victoria Day Event
Skechers peaked at 30% off in January and 25% in February. The current 20% is the shallowest we've tracked all year. Skip if you can wait — they've gone deeper.
Ends: May 18
Vans — Up to 40% Off
This is actually good. Vans has been 30–40% off in prior months and the current 40% matches their February–March peak. If you've been waiting on Vans shoes or apparel, this is a legitimate window.
Ends: May 18 (confirmed by Closetta monitoring)
Columbia — 25% Off Victoria Day
Columbia hit 40% in January and has been running 25–40% all year. The current 25% is below their January peak but consistent with their spring pattern. Worth it for outdoor gear on your list.
Ends: May 18
Still Running After the Weekend
These aren't Victoria Day–specific but are active right now and worth knowing about:
Calvin Klein — Up to 50% Off Sitewide
Ends May 19. Calvin Klein has been the most consistent heavy discounter in our database — running 60–70% off in February, March, and April. The current 50% is slightly below their peak but still one of the deeper sales happening right now.
American Eagle — 50% Off Clearance (New as of May 16)
American Eagle just launched a new clearance event. They've been running 25–50% off all year, so 50% off clearance is at the top of their typical range. Clearance means final sizes, so check stock early.
Gap — 40–60% Off New Favorites Sale
Gap has appeared at 60% off in every single month of 2026 data. Their "New Favorites Sale" started May 7 — at 40–60% off, it's fully in line with what they've done all year. Gap is basically always on sale, but 60% is their ceiling, so this qualifies.
Tommy Hilfiger — 40% Off Sitewide (until May 25)
Tommy has been 40–60% off since January. Current 40% is on the lower end of what we've tracked, but sitewide discounts on Tommy Hilfiger are genuinely useful. Their 60% moments were February and March — this is slightly off-peak.
How to Rank These Deals
If you can only shop one or two things this weekend, prioritize:
- Vans — 40% matches their historical ceiling, sale ends May 18
- Calvin Klein — consistent deep discounter, ends May 19
- American Eagle — new clearance at 50%, freshest inventory
- Gap — 60% available on select styles, runs indefinitely
Columbia and The North Face are fine but not at their best. Skechers has gone deeper — wait if you can.
