BELIEVE it or not, despite this week's awful weather (that hardly feels like mid-July), the summer sales have begun. For many, the thought of sifting through messy rails marked with bold red sale signage is far from enjoyable. And the sheer number of items available online can be quite overwhelming.
If you find yourself endlessly scrolling endlessly through the sale section and need some guidance on which pieces are truly worth buying, keep reading. Our fashion team has done all the hard work for you, curating a selection of top sale picks that we highly recommend checking out. I love sale shopping, and can waste a whole afternoon scrolling on the Net-a-Porter sale, filling my fantasy fashion basket with lovely designer pieces! But in reality I still can’t afford them, so I mainly shop the high street sales with the odd splurge on The Outnet - Net-A-Porter’s outlet site.
My first tip when sale shopping is to only buy pieces that you know you will wear for years to come. A tinfoil puff ball dress may seem like a good idea because it has been reduced by 60%, but in reality you will wear it once in a blue moon. I try to drop love hearts on items I love throughout the season and then get an alert once they are reduced.
If I still like them four months later when they drop in price I know they are not just a flash-in-the-pan piece. I tend to shop for great cashmere even in summer, because out-of-season knitwear is even cheaper, plus swimwear, leather sandals that won’t date .
