Tops on sale.

The most over-discounted category

Tops — crop tops, tees, long-sleeve pullovers — are the category where retailers run the most theatrical “sales.” Discounts are frequent, sitewide banners loud, and the compare-at prices rarely match what we’ve observed in the last 90 days. Most drops here are cosmetic. That’s why our filter is strictest on tops: we only surface a deal when today’s price is genuinely below the rolling median, not when the brand decides to put a red sticker on it. Real markdowns do happen — brands over-produce seasonal colorways and need to clear inventory — but they cluster in early autumn and late spring. Outside those windows, the piece you want is usually the price you’ll see.
