Summer might be synonymous with holidays, ice cream and Wimbledon, but it’s also the best time for shopping, thanks to the summer sales which have just kicked off on Oxford Street. Whether you’re after some holiday essentials or are already planning ahead for your winter wardrobe, keep scrolling for the best of the summer sales.
The best of womenswear sales
Summer is packed full of special events, including weddings, festivals and holidays, so chances are you’ll be after at least one new outfit. If you don’t want to spend a fortune on it, now is the perfect time to grab trendy styles including summer dresses and linen blazers for as much as half price. Or, if it’s investment pieces you’d like, such as lingerie (shop up to 50% off at Victoria’s Secret), jeans and jackets, there are plenty of those too – and that’s without mentioning bags and shoes.
The best of menswear sales
Whether your style is more casual, or you have to wear suits to the office, there are plenty of bargains to be had in the menswear stores of Oxford Street, including these Ecco suede brogues, relaxed shorts from H&M, easy iron shirt from Burton and sun protection t-shirt from Bosideng. There are some great winter wardrobe essentials in those stores too, including coats and jumpers.
The best of kidswear sales
Any parent will know that kids grow up so fast, it’s not worth spending full price on clothes that will only be worn for a few months. Which is why now is the time to start planning ahead of next summer and buying most of their wardrobe in the sale. Some great items to stock up on include summer dresses, t-shirts, shoes and sleep bodysuits – you can never have too many of those.
The best of homeware sales
You can easily pimp your home on a budget, especially during the sales. All you need is the perfect accessory that’ll transform any room. For example, try this colourful bedding from Ikea in your bedroom, orange jug from Flying Tiger in your kitchen, candle holder from French Connection in your dining room or rug from Urban Outfitters in your lounge.
The best beauty bargains
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, you can never go wrong with stocking up on beauty products as they have a long shelf life, as long as they haven’t been opened. Some bargains we’re shopping right now include a St. Tropez self tan kit at Boots, a men’s BOSS fragrance at Superdrug and a vibrating quartz face roller from H&M – all of which are 50% off in the sales. If you are after an investment, Selfridges are also currently offering 20% off GHD straighteners and hair styling products.
