No Returns: How to Win the Tibi Sale Without Regret
A final-sale survival guide for making smart picks you’ll actually wear.
Cue the calendar alerts and wishlists, the Tibi Spring Sale is (almost) here. Rumors say it will drop the morning of June 4th.
Now, I mostly shop Tibi on sale or resale. And even on sale, their clothes are a splurge. That means I need a solid game plan — especially since everything is final sale. No pressure.
Let’s get into it. We’ll use the Three S’s: Selecting, Sequencing, and Sizing.
What to ExpectWhen: Expected to launch on June 4th
What: Resort ‘24, Spring ‘25 and seasonal-color Fundamentals
How much:
Starts at 50% off (rumors are that this might start at 40% this year)
60% off after 2 to 3 weeks
70% off another 2 to 3 weeks after that
Then a few weeks after that, everything disappears from the site and comes back under the Outlet at an additional 15% off.
Selecting
This is where you pause before the add-to-cart frenzy. What would really elevate your everyday style? And what are you just convincing yourself you need because it looks good on Amy? We’ve all been there.
Join the Tibi Fans group
The number one tip for navigating the sale is to join the Tibi Fans Facebook group. It’s full of real people showing real try-ons. You’ll also get real-time reviews of what is worth adding to cart. Be warned, you will probably be inspired to buy more as well.
Know what’s available
The fastest way to see what’s going to drop is to search for the season codes (linked below):
R124 = Resort
S125 - Spring
SR24 = Shoes
Fundamentals will drop in seasonal colors (Keep an eye out for cinnamon, lime, and red—although the colors could vary.)
Spring will have a wider selection than Resort — it’s fresher in the market, so more inventory to clear.
Shop for your actual life, not your aspirational one
My first-ever Tibi buy came with a lesson: I was torn between red Cameron heels and red flat sandals. I live in flats, but thought—if I’m spending this much, it should be on something special. So I bought the heels… and wore them maybe five times. The flats? I would’ve worn them weekly. Lesson learned: buy for your lifestyle, not your fantasy self.
Start with your closet, not the Tibi website
What’s missing? What are you craving as you get dressed? What would make everything else feel easier to wear? Do you need more Ring 3 pants? Is it time to add a Ring 4 wildcard? Amy has some good thoughts on thinking about sales here. The goal isn’t just to buy more Tibi—it’s to buy the piece that makes your whole wardrobe work harder.
Don’t forget the outlet
Hidden gems live in the outlet section, already discounted 70%. While you’re paying for shipping anyway, it’s worth a look.
Sequencing
When it comes to savings, timing matters just as much as what you buy.
Buy the must-haves right away
If you’re obsessed with something just buy it at 50%. The extra 10–20% savings aren’t worth the heartbreak of it selling out.
Check stock like an insider
Here’s the move: add the item in your size to your cart, then hit the “+” button until it maxes out. That tells you how many are left, so you can plan accordingly.
Shoes come later
Shoes typically drop a week or two after the main event. Save some budget. Here are the shoes that I think will be on sale, but who knows.
Save some budget for sleeper hits
I also like to hold back a little. Once orders start arriving, the Tibi Fans group lights up with try-ons, reviews, and “surprise MVPs.” You might regret spending your entire budget on your first go.
The Morning Of
The sale typically goes live between 6:30–7:00am ET — whenever the team hits "publish" and pours their coffee. It rolls out in waves:
Markdowns go live on individual product pages
The Sale section updates
Then comes the email blast
You want to beat that email — things can sell fast once the full list hits inboxes.
Pro tip:
Wishlists update before carts. So the night before:
Clear your cart
Add everything you’re eyeing to your wishlist
Be ready to strike fast in the AM
Coffee optional. Quick reflexes, required.
Sizing
Since all sale items are final sale, nailing the sizing is key.
DM the stylists now
The Tibi stylists on Instagram are incredibly helpful. If you are unsure on sizing, message them before the madness. You can even set up virtual styling sessions. I like finding one that shares my body type or style. I might be missing some and will do a bigger post on them soon, but here is a starter list to browse:
Find your size twin
Find someone in the Tibi Fans group or among stylists who shares your shape and size and buys a lot of Tibi. Shoutout to Aastha–she’s been my north star.
Use the sizing charts (yes, actually)
We’re so lucky that Tibi shares such detailed measurements for every item. Find a piece in your closet that hits in a similar place and fits how you want, measure it, and compare to Tibi’s chart. Note that sizing can differ across fabrications - so double check!
Search Tibi Fans for fit notes
Just search the item name, and you’ll often find a handful of try-ons and sizing tips. Facebook search can be lackluster. Desktop is better than mobile, and I try to put in just one word that would relate vs. the full item name. So “bubble” is going to be better than “Eco Poplin Pull On Bubble Skirt.” Then toggle on “most recent.”
If It All Goes Wrong
Didn’t get the thing? Ordered the wrong size? We’ve all been there.
Most pieces will show up in resale eventually. Sometimes even that week as other Tibi Fans get their items and need to sell.
Tibi often re-releases bestsellers — sometimes with better fit or tweaks.
And if you need to offload something? List it on Cleowave — that’s where the Tibi Fans resale action is and the best place to buy and sell Tibi.
Your turn: What’s your pick from Resort or Spring that you’d recommend?I love hearing what people actually loved after wearing it for a season. Help me build my list!
Finding a size twin has been immensely helpful!!
This was such a helpful post thank you for all the Instagram links.
