It's only October, but preparation for the 2021 holiday shopping season is already underway. Last year, Amazon unofficially moved up the starting date for seasonal sales since Prime Day began on Oct. 13. This year, retailers are following suit, releasing holiday lists and major savings events more than a month before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. With all that said, it looks like right now is the perfect time to start shopping and knock out some of the gifts on everyone's wish list this year.

Catching something on sale doesn't mean it's no longer trendy or going out of style — we even surprised ourselves with some of the items we were able to find markdowns on. From Levi's jeans to the Our Place pan, we rounded up gift-worthy picks to treat yourself or someone else to this holiday season.

So, whether you're just looking to browse or are an intentional shopper, keep reading for everything you'll want to add to your cart right now.

Clothing sales right now

Levi's 311 Shaping Skinny Jean

One word we love the sound of when it comes to jeans: "shaping." These jeans have a flattering skinny leg and contour curves, making for a comfortable — not restricting — fit. They come in more than a dozen different washes that all feature the same tummy-control panel.

Levi's Original Sherpa Trucker Jacket

This Sherpa jacket was practically made for fall. It's a timeless staple fit for any wardrobe, and each of the four different washes of this "trucker" style are on sale right now for $90.

Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant

The famed Align pants are finally on sale — well, at least a version of them are. Depending on the size and color you prefer, you can snag them for as little as $49 right now.

Lululemon Cashlu Knit Textured Wrap

Bring on everything soft and cozy — including this knit wrap. It's as snuggly as a blanket and has an oversize fit, so it will drape just below your bum. Since it's also made with cashmere, it has just the right touch of softness, too.

Lululemon Knit Blend Textured Pullover

This boxy sweater makes for an easy layering piece. One fabric in its makeup that makes it a standout? It's crafted with "a touch of yak hair" for added softness, but it's durable enough to still be machine-washable.

Old Navy

Through Oct. 11, you'll be able to save up to 50% site-wide on everything you need to spruce up your closet. Since the discounts are so big, you can find styles for as little as $8.

Old Navy Mid-Rise Super Skinny Jeans

Gap Supersoft Wrap-Front Cardigan

Cozy knit cardigans are in this season, and this soft-knit style is the perfect way to get in on the trend. It's airy enough for the remaining warm fall days, but you can also wear it as an extra layer when the temperature starts to drop.

Gap Merino Turtleneck Tunic Sweater

This sweater is made with Responsible Wool Standard-certified wool and comes in four different Earth-toned hues. It's long enough to wear over leggings, or you can tuck it into jeans for an equally chic look.
