The year’s not done with Prime Day just yet. Prime Big Deal Days—the second major sales event from Amazon this year—lands October 7-8, and it’s a two-day gated sale for Prime members. Think of it as a pre-holiday warm-up: preposterously great discounts across fashion, tech, home, and more, timed perfectly to get a jump on your gift list (or finally refresh your underwear drawer).
The firehose of markdowns can feel like a lot, but that’s where your friendly neighborhood shopping desk earns its keep. The GQ Recommends team spends all year shopping the Everything Store, and we know a good deal (and a bad one) when we see it. We’re already tracking early drops and and everything you need to know about the event, and once Amazon’s big sale bonanza officially kicks off, we’ll be updating this page with the only deals that matter.
10 Early Prime Day Clothing Deals to Score Today
What should I expect from Prime Big Deal Days 2025?
Every year, Prime Day lands in July. This year it stretched across a full four days, from Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11. But starting in 2022, Amazon introduced a sequel event in the fall: Prime Big Deal Days. It’s been back every October since, and in 2025 it returns on October 7 and 8.
Expect steep cuts on basics (white tees, polos, denim), activewear, sneakers, and outerwear. Brands like Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Dickies, and Lacoste tend to unload a lot of inventory, while big-ticket electronics from Samsung, LG, and Sonos headline the markdowns. It’s also a sneaky-good time to start on your gift list—the Everything Store even has a dedicated Holiday Gift Shop, perfect if your holiday gifting strategy is typically panic and prayers.
What are the best menswear brands on Amazon?
For affordable fashion across the board, Amazon’s got the goods. If you’re after basics, look to tried-and-true labels like Gildan, Calvin Klein, Russell Athletic, and Kirkland Signature. On the footwear front, you’ll find everything from Adidas sneakers to Red Wing boots to Allen Edmonds dress shoes. The watch selection is equally stacked, with classics from Casio, G-Shock, Seiko, and even the occasional Tag Heuer. And when it comes to sunglasses on Amazon, don’t sleep on Ray-Ban, Chimi, and Oakley. And with more and more inventory from Shopbop (Amazon’s fashion-focused subsidiary) making its way onto the platform, Amazon’s menswear lineup is deeper than you’d expect.
How long do the deals last?
Prime Big Deal Days 2025 officially kicks off on Tuesday, October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PDT and runs straight through the strike of midnight on Wednesday, October 8. So you’ve got two full days to scoop up as many markdowns as your cart can handle.
Do Prime Day deals change each day?
Yep, Prime Day deals definitely change each day, and sometimes even by the hour. Amazon rotates in new discounts each day across all categories (tech, clothing, home, you name it), so what’s here today might be gone tomorrow. Some deals only last 24 hours, and others sell out with a quickness. If you see something you like, it’s probably smart to grab it before it’s gone.
Do I need to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Prime Day?
Yes, you must be an Amazon Prime member to access Prime Big Deal Day’s exclusive deals. If you’re not yet a member, you can sign up for a 30-day trial.
Do other retailers participate in Prime Day?
Prime Big Deal Days is an Amazon-exclusive affair. But plenty of other retailers like to ride the coattails with their own competing sales. We’ll keep you posted on the best ones happening at the same time.
