Holiday season might be picking up slowly, but sale season is in full swing, with designer discounts up to 80%. And though it requires due diligence (read digging), trust us - there's plenty of bargains under the £250 mark.
Before diving in, always arm yourself with a list of what you need (if anything) so that you don’t start impulse buying. Secondly, ask yourself, ‘What five things will this go with in my wardrobe?’ so that you don’t have to go on another shopping trip/internet trawl.
It's also worth thinking about items you've had lingering in your basket, but have put off buying at full price. Ganni's blossom-print wrap dresses have become something of a cult item - and this ankle-length number is now £100. If summer 2021 is already stacked high with rearranged weddings, why not get a jump on fellow guests by stocking up on occasionwear? Sandro's strawberry red dress is a winner (reduced from £260 to £130), while Joseph's lilac double-breasted blazer (reduced from £575 to £230) is a sleek cover-up for late spring nuptials.
Holidays are upon us and, luckily, there's plenty of swimwear and hot-weather accessories in the sales. Solid & Striped's tie-dye swimsuit (reduced from £162 to £64) can double as a bodysuit at beach clubs, while Kayu's fringed raffia bucket bag (reduced from £112 to £78) will give any outfit some holiday spirit.
Finally, we're living through the era of waist-up dressing, which means a fabulous pair of Isabel Marant earrings is the mid-month treat you know you deserve.
