Autumn is in the air – and our wardrobes, beauty routines and homes are ready for a (cool) change. And just in time, Afterpay Day is back.
The twice-yearly sales event boasts a slate of discounts across fashion, beauty, homewares and more, with plenty of brands dropping deals early. And while it’s hosted by Afterpay, don’t worry – you don’t have to use its service to unlock most of the sales. Here are the best bits to add to cart.
21 (early) Afterpay Day deals worth your time
Seven fashion sale picks
Lee Mathews’ sage Lucien polo made it onto several Broadsheet editors’ wishlists this season. Now it’s discounted, along with the matching relaxed-fit pants, for relaxed autumn layering.
Grip socks: the unsung hero of every Pilates, barre and yoga class. This pair by local label Pinky & Kamal features a spiral motif for added stability while planking or warrior posing. Save 20 per cent in four colourways.
Upgrade your work bag before EOFY with a tote that means business. St Agni’s minimalist design is crafted from vegetable-dyed textured leather and lined in suede, with a magnetic closure and plenty of room for all your daily essentials.
All aboard the loose denim train. This navy stripe iteration of the French designer’s jeans has me hooked. And 30 per cent off Jacquemus is a no-brainer. Style them with heeled boots and a denim bustier (like this Rick Owens one) or pare them down with a white tee and runners.
If your activewear’s seen better days, there’s currently 20 per cent off at PE Nation. The Restore leggings are designed for low-intensity workouts (or just leaning into the athleisure season). Pair with the matching seamless bra and throw on a cropped jacket for post-class coffee runs.
Refresh your top drawer with Paire’s breathable basics. The Lipstick three-pack is made from ultra-soft, antibacterial fabric in a trio of colours: sky blue, peachy and midnight, and it’s 25 per cent off.
Cargo pants are a trans-seasonal must-have. The Scout Poplin style by Sydney-born label Oroton is cut from 100 per cent cotton with a relaxed drawstring waist and subtle utility detailing. Choose from four hues – north sea, lemon, chocolate and white – at 50 per cent off.
Seven homeware and furniture picks
Sydney label Roomie’s buttery soft bedding is discounted by 30 per cent at The Iconic. Made from a luxe organic cotton blend, there’s a shade to shop the mellow yellow trend, but also cloud, iced matcha, olive martini, among others, too.
A new rug can change a whole room. This classic chequerboard design from Double’s collection is delivering the abstract check motif I’m craving. Plus, the label’s rugs are machine-washable, sorting any spillages and pet hair.
Sales season is a good time to make those home updates you’ve been putting off, especially big-ticket items like couches. I’ve been eyeing up this luxe boucle sofa by Koala for some time. The label’s sofa covers are also discounted for any smaller space lifts you’re after.
As cooler weather looms, there’s a need for hearty meals. Gear up for bowls full of noodles with a new wok. This pick is by former Masterchef contestant Marion Grasby’s cookware label and is nearly 30 per cent off. Plus, it comes with two complimentary cookbooks.
If you’ve been holding out for one of Dyson’s A-plus suckage devices, now’s the time to commit with $600 off the V10 Absolute (almost half-price) – one of the cult tech label’s bestselling vacuums, with 60 minutes run time.
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a fresh set of towels hanging in your bathroom. This set by local label Aura Home is made from Australian-grown cotton and features a plush wave design that oozes coastal luxury. And if you don’t need a full set, the individual sizes are 20 per cent off too.
If catching Zs ranks high on your priority list, it could be time for a new pillow. This style by Eva is designed with customisable firmness to avoid post-snooze neck stiffness. It’s also made from activated charcoal for its anti-bacterial qualities to keep things fresh. And it’s $30 off.
Seven beauty and travel deals
Alpha H has 20 per cent off skincare too – and this cleansing balm is a winter skincare essential. It melts away SPF and make-up while doubling as a hydrating mask. Just leave it on for about 10 minutes before continuing your routine as normal.
Our skin needs different things in colder months – like ultra-hydrating formulas. This luminising SPF by Ultra Violette is designed to dial up the glow while offering broad-spectrum protection. It layers seamlessly under make-up (no pilling or balling) – and now, it’s 25 per cent off.
A leave-in mask that works while you don’t. This K18 treatment uses bioactive peptides to repair keratin within the hair shaft – essentially reversing damage caused by colouring, heat and styling. It’s like an apology letter to your frazzled ends, but discounted.
I’m stocking up on my regulars this sale time – and this BHA exfoliant tops the list. Formulated with salicylic acid, it promises a skin-loving glow and anti-acne benefits. And it’s 20 per cent off.
Air-drying season is almost over. Make room in your bathroom drawers for Shark’s Dyson Airwrap dupe – and tap into trending big and bouncy hair ’dos. With just a twist, it transforms from a high-powered hair dryer to a multi-styler that smooths, volumises, curls and dries, minus the heat damage.
Gear up for weekends away (or if you’re lucky, a European summer) with a new case. Samsonite’s Proxis range is designed with durability in mind, using a multi-layered material that bounces back into shape after impact. Lightweight, sturdy and built to last – and it’s 40 per cent off.
Pack these in your new case – a fresh and freaky-but-cool take on a Croc or water shoe, Merrell’s Hydro slides are made for camping trips, weekends away or slipping in and out of the garden. They’re lightweight, water-friendly and crafted with eco-conscious foam, plus they’re 50 per cent off.
