Summer sale season is officially here.
Wish lists are building with bargains and shopping baskets are filling with golden finds.
However, sales can be overwhelming.
The choice is infinite and it’s very easy to find yourself purchasing for the sake of the price, rather than any fashion fancy.
When buying in the sales, it’s best to stick to staple pieces that you know you can wear time and time again. Steer clear of trends and try to stay within the parameters of your own personal style.
Neutral tones such as black and beige are more solid purchases, while it’s prime time to invest in great jeans or an occasion dress.
So to save you the time and hassle that comes with sifting through the online bargain bins, we have found seven of the best sale items that are built to last.
Happy shopping!
& Other Stories single created hourglass blazer
Get it for £59 at & Other Stories.
A black blazer will never do you wrong. One of the most bulletproof sartorial investments, this staple will work harder than any other item in your wardrobe. Wear with jeans, trainers and a plain white t-shirt for day but pair with your snazziest mini dress and highest heels at night.
ASOS Design shirred waist midi sundress
A summer dress may seem like an off-kilter investment choice but with some clever styling, it can work just as well in colder months. While the neutral colour means it will work across all seasons. Wear a light polo neck knit underneath when the temperatures start to drop.
H&M shimmering satin dress
With normal life resuming there is now an influx of events requiring us to dress up in more than just a hoodie and jeans. Sale time is the best time to pick up some brilliant dress bargains that will last. Take for example this shimmering satin dress in red. You will never have to fear a dress code ever again.
ASOS Design Curve chino trousers
Chino trousers are a great alternative if denim jeans don’t do it for you. Comfy yet structured, they are an option for all everyday activities. Pair with crop tops and body suits now and heavy knits come autumn.
Arket asymmetric neck top
Knitwear is never a bad buy. Worn almost all year round in our British climate, versatility is at its core. However, this sale season, invest in a piece with a twist like this asymmetric neck light knit from Arket. The hint of skin gives it sex appeal while its comfortable stretch fabric will flatter all shapes.
Charles & Keith beige strappy heels
Get them for £35 at Charles & Keith.
When it comes to heels, strappy sandals are the chicest choice. This nude pair from Charles & Keith has a wonderful point of difference with the extra-long straps that can be worn low or high on the leg. A purchase you will never regret.
Levi’s 501 Crop slim fit jeans
Get them for £59.49 at Zalando.
While boys are temporary, Levi’s 501s are forever. You can’t get more iconic than the classic style which is seriously complimentary on the body. And at these prices, now is the same to snap up a pair of Levi jeans. You will cherish them forever.
