As the days are beginning to cool and autumn edges closer, it's fair to say we're all pretty reluctant to let go of summer just yet. The idea of packing away our favourite linen dresses, toe-ring sandals and bikinis feels all too premature. But, before you contemplate trading in your floral dresses for woolly knits, there's a sale that will carry the essence of summer into those cooler months - the Rixo sale.

Rixo, the London-based label that's become synonymous with vintage-inspired designs counts Sofia Richie, Kate Middleton and Selena Gomez as fans. Now, in what Rixo are calling its 'Warehouse Sale' the brand is offering a collection of sale items for those, who, much like us, are looking to savour the last days of summer. The sale includes some of its best-selling floral dresses, as well as tops and maxi skirts.

But, it's not just about prolonging summer as much as you can as many of Rixo's versatile dresses are perfect for layering in the cooler months too. As we get into autumn, swap out sandals for a pair of chunky winter boots and layer over a cosy knit for a really simple outfit formula that's also going to keep you warm. The adaptability of Rixo pieces is what cements the brand as a staple in any capsule wardrobe. Yes it's an investment, but will you get loads of wear out of it? Absolutely.

Whether you're clinging to the final rays of sunshine or are already planning for the transitional outfits ahead, the Rixo sale is the perfect opportunity to girl math a few investment pieces you'll find yourself wearing year after year and season after season.

When does the Rixo sale end?

The Rixo sale started on Monday 19th August and it's unclear when the sale will end. Although, many sizes in popular styles are already selling out.

Do Rixo have many sales?

Rixo isn't typically known as one of those brands that constantly slashes prices, so when they do eventually have a sale, it's something to get excited about. While you won't find Rixo sales popping up every other week, they do have seasonal sales - particularly at the end of summer and post-Christmas - where you'll be able to bag investment-worthy dresses, tops and skirts for a fraction of the price. If you're eyeing up a particular piece, it's worth keeping an eye on Rixo's website to find out when the next sale drops.
