There’s never a better time to shop than now, when there are so many bargains to be had. But how do you avoid being lured into buying stuff that will just sit in your wardrobe and collect dust? We have three simple tips for making the most of the sales – and our favourite items from The Modist, H&M and more to get your hands on before they’re gone. What are you waiting for? Let’s get clicking…
SALES SHOPPING RULE #1: Make sure you love it
One question you need to ask yourself is whether you genuinely love the item concerned. Don’t fall into the trap of buying something simply because it’s on sale.
SALES SHOPPING RULE #2: Search for staple items
Sale season is the perfect time to invest in staple wardrobe items that are usually on the more expensive side. Think: winter coats, fancy handbags, quality shoes and work shirts.
SALES SHOPPING RULE #3: Go for timeless classics
During sale season, brands will be looking to get rid of last season’s trending items. Try to avoid prints, patterns and colours that will go out of fashion and instead opt for timeless hues like black, white, tan, navy and grey.
