Express sells men's and women's clothing, from suits and dresses to jeans, sweaters and jackets, online and in Express and Express Factory Outlet stores.
Before you count on a code, know that Express Cash, coupons and other discounts skip clearance items entirely.
Express is known for workwear and going-out clothes, with house lines such as the Editor Collection of pants and suiting for women, Portofino shirts, Harlow dresses and Body Contour tops. Men's suits come in extra slim, slim and classic fits, including Comfort Stretch Tech and Modern Tech styles, alongside 1MX dress shirts, merino and cotton cashmere sweaters and an Archives Collection.
The brand also releases designer collaborations, such as Express x Sarah Jane Nader, and features a group of everyday style creators it calls the Expressionists. Its free Express Insider program unlocks member benefits, and online orders can ship to Canada as well as within the US.

Before you add a code at Express, split your bag into clearance and everything else.
Clearance pieces won't take Express Cash, coupons or other discounts, and neither will anything you've already bought, so a price drop after purchase can't be fixed with a code.
Online exchanges aren't offered, so a wrong size means a return and a fresh order.
If your Express code doesn't work
Minimum order: "Up to $100 off $250+ Orders" needs an order of at least $250; "$100 Off Orders Over $250 Via App" needs an order of at least $250.
Exclusions: Express Cash, coupons and other discounts do not apply to clearance items or previous purchases.
The bigger shipping perk sits with A-List Insiders who pay with the Express Credit Card, since they get free standard shipping.
Taking a return to a store skips the $6.99 label charge that mail returns carry.
When one order ships in several packages, only the first box carries a shipping charge, so a split shipment doesn't multiply the coSt. Gift cards travel free by standard delivery, which keeps a gift order cheap.
