Key takeaways
  • 577 discounted, in-stock products across five brand stores, 272 of them at Senita.
  • We got yesterday wrong. The Baleaf capri restocked overnight, 23 buyable sizes to 25.
  • No tracked Amazon legging is near its low. The Colorfulkoala sits $14.01 above its Aug. 31 price.
  • Deepest markdown with real sizes left: Girlfriend Collective, 70% off.

Quick answerNothing new went on sale overnight. The Senita After Hours pant at $15.00 and the Girlfriend foldover at $29.40 are the only two we would buy today, and both are down to a handful of sizes. Amazon is the wrong place to shop this week.

Yesterday this board told you to hurry on a pair of Baleaf capris, because stock was draining faster than the price was falling.

What did the Baleaf restock change?

Baleaf restocked. On Sept. 11 the 21-inch high-rise capri had 23 buyable size-and-colour combinations at $38.00; this morning it has 25, at the same $38.00. Black returned in 3XL, navy in XL.

The price never moved — only our reason for rushing you, and that has evaporated. A markdown holding at $38.00 for four days on a restocking product has no clock on it.

Which brand-store markdowns are real this morning?

These are the discounts that still have sizes attached. Single-size leftovers are labelled as such, because 78% off one remaining XS is a clearance bin, not a deal.

Is Amazon cheaper than any of this today?

No, and it is not close. Here is the price history on six tracked leggings, with the date each listing was last scanned.

Amazon item (ASIN)Last seenScannedRecord lowAbove low
SATINA high-waisted legging$13.49Aug. 27$12.32+$1.17
Baleaf 7/8 legging, pockets$25.99Sept. 1$14.99+$11.00
ODODOS 28" pocket legging$24.98Jun. 23$18.98+$6.00
HeyNuts Workout Pro, 25"$28.80Sept. 6$25.60+$3.20
Colorfulkoala 7/8 pocket legging$29.00Sept. 8$14.99+$14.01
CRZ Yoga Butterluxe, 25"$32.00Jun. 27$22.40+$9.60

Two of the six sit at the highest price ever recorded for them. The SATINA is the exception, but that reading is 16 days old — a lead to verify, not a price we watched today. The Colorfulkoala is the lesson: $14.99 twelve days ago, $29.00 now, and nothing about the pant changed.

What nobody tells you about "70% off"

A 70% tag describes the gap between two numbers the seller picked. It says nothing about whether the lower one is good.

Girlfriend's foldover at $29.40 is genuinely cheap for a compressive high-rise pant with a real size run. The Café drawstring carries the same 70% and has one size left, which makes the percentage decorative. Ignore the percentage, read the dollar price, count the sizes — the long version is in our guide to spotting a fake sale price.

Where does Bubblelime land this morning?

Its navy high-waist bootcut is $16.00 against a $32.98 list, in 12 combinations from a 29-inch to a 37-inch inseam — the cheapest bootcut yoga pants here and the widest inseam range on the board.

It is not the best pant here. Girlfriend's fabric and size run are stronger for $13 more. If you are tall and have given up on a 37-inch inseam, Bubblelime wins the one thing a hem cannot fix; otherwise take the Girlfriend. We put them side by side in yesterday's flare and bootcut roundup.

So what would we buy on Sept. 12?

The Senita After Hours pant at $15.00, if your size is among the five left. Final sale at Senita means it will not come back. Second choice is the Girlfriend foldover at $29.40.

Everything else here should still be at this price on Monday, the Baleaf capri included. Shopping for a bra instead? We ran the Amazon floors on five of them in today's sports bra price-history check; one is near its low.

Mini FAQ

Do these prices include shipping?
No. A $15.00 pant can land nearer $22 once shipping is added.

Why a timestamp on every row?
A deal page without one asks you to trust that somebody looked. Ours says when, to the minute.

Is final sale really final?
At Senita, yes. No returns, no exchanges — buy your known size.

TL;DR — Brand-store prices were flat for a second day. We retract yesterday's urgency on the Baleaf capri, which restocked to 25 sizes at the same $38.00. Buy the Senita pant at $15.00 or the Girlfriend foldover at $29.40. Amazon has nothing at a low.
