Taller by Fall

When holiday pajamas go on clearance, and what size to buy

Holiday pajamas and dress-up outfits are marked down in the days after the holiday and stay on clearance into January.

When the markdowns happen

Prices start dropping in the last week of December. Matching family sets go first, so if you want one, shop that week instead of waiting for January.

Pajamas bought then are worn the following December, about 12 months later.
