Cotton On Sale Dates (2026) | Year-Round Sales Calendar

Cotton On goes big during Black Friday, with recent events showing 30–40% off sitewide across Australia and the US. Other major windows include mid-year clearances in June (especially in Australia around EOFY timing) and Boxing Day sales for AU, UK, and NZ shoppers. The brand also runs Singles Day 11.11 promotions in select Asian markets.

Perks is Cotton On's free loyalty scheme that covers all seven brands (Cotton On, Cotton On Body, Kids, Rubi, Typo, Supré, Factorie). You earn 1 point per dollar spent on full-price items, then receive a $10 voucher for every $100 spent in AU/US. Members also get early access to sales, birthday treats, and surprise perks throughout the year.

Yes, students get 15% off full-priced items when they verify through UNiDAYS. You'll need a valid university email address to unlock the discount code. The only downside is that it can't be stacked with other promotions, and won't apply to sale or discounted pieces.

No, sale items are the same products marked down to clear space. You're getting past-season colors, overstock, or styles being phased out—not a cheaper version of the garment. Cotton On is a fast-fashion brand, so overall quality matches what you'd expect at that price point, whether full-price or discounted.

Cotton On's Outlet sections (online and physical) stock clearance items, past-season styles, and deeply discounted pieces—sometimes advertised as “Nothing over $20” events. Regular stores carry current collections at standard pricing. Both sell the same Cotton On products, but outlets focus on moving older inventory at steeper markdowns.

Big events like Black Friday and mid-season promotions usually run for one to two weeks. The always-on Sale and Outlet pages refresh continuously with new markdowns, so there's no fixed end date. Limited flash sales may last just a few days, while end-of-season clearances can stretch across several weeks as stock sells out.

The Australian site offers international shipping to many countries, while the US site does not ship outside the US. If you're ordering internationally during busy sale periods, expect longer delivery windows—usually 10–30 business days—and be aware that customs or import fees may apply and are your responsibility.

No, Perks points are only awarded on full-price purchases. Sale items, discounted bundles, gift cards, and shipping fees don't count toward your points balance. You can still use your Perks vouchers to pay for sale items, but you won't earn new points from those transactions.

Not always. CottonOn.com can run its own promotions that differ from what's happening in brick-and-mortar locations. During big shopping weekends you might see “online exclusive” discounts or in-store-only doorbusters. It's worth checking both channels if you're hunting for the best price on a specific item.

The end-of-season clearances (July for winter styles in AU, January for post-holiday markdowns) offer the deepest discounts on basics. Black Friday is another solid window, especially for denim—past promotions advertised 40% off jeans. If you're not in a rush, the Outlet page restocks regularly with $10–$15 basics throughout the year.
