The best back-to-school sales 2022 has to offer are a refreshing respite from the chaos currently taking place at your local Office Depot. Hot off the heels of Amazon Prime Day and all those epic end-of-season events, they’re keeping the deals train running right into the academic year. The joyous rapture you feel when a stationary sale drops might be nearly unmatched (gaslighting yourself into a false state of productivity? Count us in!) but the best back-to-school sales 2022 has to offer aren’t all about notebooks and backpacks. Thankfully, they’re also about fancy new duds at dastardly discounts. We’re talking fresh jeans, head-turning camp shirts, crispy sneakers—the stuff of menswear dreams is all yours for the taking, well below MSRP. Whether you’ve actually got class in the fall or are just looking for an excuse to cop an entirely new wardrobe, now’s the best time to get busy.
