It's possibly the best feeling for any fashion lover - that
moment when you find that item you've wanted at half price.It’s easy to be tempted by a low price tag and end up with
clothes that you will probably never wear. Read our top tips to make sure you
make the most of the end of the season sales.
Stick to the basics
If you stick to the staple pieces you can't go wrong. Invest
in timeless, well-cut dresses, jackets and trousers, without any obvious
references to current trends. You'll then be able to wear them season after
season.
Update classics with accessories
Accessories are the quickest and most affordable way to
update an existing outfit. Look out for quality belts, necklaces, bags and
shoes. Use these accessories to bring in transient seasonal trends and create
classic looks with a contemporary twist.
Think big
It is better to buy something which is slightly large, on
the basis that you can customise it or a tailor can alter it to fit you, rather
than waste money on something slightly small in the belief that one day you
will fit into it.
Take stock of your wardrobe
Before heading out to the sales, take stock and assess your
wardrobe. Note the items which need replacing. Then, while shopping, use the
list to keep focused, and stop you getting carried away and purchasing things
on a whim that you don't need, or won't work with the rest of your wardrobe
Plan your trip to the sales
Make a list what you need and the shops you can get these
from. Get there early to be sure you don't miss out. Or avoid the crowds and
scrambling through the rails altogether and shop the sales from the comfort of
your bed!
