LOFT Sales FAQ

1

When does LOFT have its biggest sales?

LOFT's largest events are the Semi-Annual Sale in January and late June, plus Black Friday in November. You'll also see recurring Friends & Family promotions around April and November with discounts near 40% off everything.

Tip: The Semi-Annual Sale is the best moment to grab work dresses and seasonal basics at steep markdowns—sometimes extra 50-60% off already reduced styles.
2

What's the difference between LOFT and LOFT Outlet sales?

LOFT and LOFT Outlet run separate promotions. The main LOFT site features current season styles with rotating discount events, while LOFT Outlet offers outlet-specific merchandise at lower everyday prices. Each location has its own sale calendar and exclusions.

3

Can I use my styleREWARDS points during a sale?

Yes! Your styleREWARDS certificates work on sale items. The reward gets applied after other promotions, so you stack your member discount on top of the already reduced price. Just remember that points are earned across LOFT, LOFT Outlet, Ann Taylor, and Ann Taylor Factory.

4

Does LOFT allow stacking multiple discounts?

No, LOFT's checkout system accepts only one promo code per order. If you try entering a second one, it will replace the first. However, certain special events may have built-in tiered offers like “40% off plus extra savings on orders over a threshold” within a single code.

Tip: Test each available code separately in your cart before checkout—sometimes a percentage off full-price beats a smaller extra discount on sale items.
5

What's the free shipping minimum at LOFT?

LOFT offers free standard shipping on orders $99 or more after discounts are applied. This applies to US domestic addresses only—Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico have extra fees. Orders under $99 ship at a flat rate of $8.95.

6

Do sale prices apply to petite and plus sizes?

Yes, LOFT's sitewide promotions cover petite, regular, tall, and plus sizes equally. During Semi-Annual or Friends & Family events, you'll see the same discount percentages across all size ranges, though specific styles may sell out faster in popular sizes.

7

What does “excludes third-party brands” mean?

LOFT occasionally carries partner or licensed brands that aren't made by LOFT itself. These items are excluded from most promotional offers. You'll see this listed in the fine print of sale terms—basically, if it's not a core LOFT design, the discount may not apply.

8

How long do LOFT sales usually last?

Short flash events run 3-5 days, while larger campaigns like Semi-Annual or Black Friday weekend can stretch up to a week or more. The permanent Sale section on the site rotates stock continuously, so there's always something marked down year-round.

9

Are LOFT sale items the same quality as full-price pieces?

Absolutely. Sale merchandise is the same quality as regular inventory—you're just buying past-season colors, overstock, or styles being phased out. The fabric, construction, and fit remain identical to what you'd pay full price for earlier in the season.

10

Can international shoppers access LOFT sales?

Most LOFT promotions state “valid in US only” in the terms. International orders are generally ineligible for the discount codes and free shipping offers advertised on the US site. If you're outside the US, check if LOFT operates in your region or look for authorized retailers carrying the brand locally.
