The summer sales have been on for a couple of weeks but there are still some major savings to be found on designer pieces, high-street heroes and investment buys. Save yourself the scroll as The Handbook’s Contributing Fashion & Lifestyle Editor, Astrid Carter, rounds up her favourite pieces currently up to 80% off. Run, don’t walk, people…

When the end-of-season sales start there can be the urge to go! go! go! to nab yourself a discounted piece, but there is something to be said for waiting it out for a couple of weeks.

Sure, some hero pieces will be snapped up instantly and if you’ve had your eye on a piece for months and know you’re going to love and wear it endlessly, I say go for it.

If you’re keen to check out the sales but not so keen on that infinite scroll session, hopefully, this edit of pieces I love will help.

For everything else, wait it out. This will help to find the pieces you want and need in your wardrobe – how many times have you bought a sale item just because it was in the sale? As well as save you even more money on big-ticket items as they go into serious discount territory – we’re looking at you, NET-A-PORTER sale.

If you’re keen to check out the sales but not so keen on that infinite scroll session, hopefully, this edit of pieces I love will help. From a dreamy pale pastel pink blazer by Blazé Milano to a summer bag by Chloé you will use every year, investment knitwear and denim from Toteme to some high street steals too good to pass up, scroll to shop my edit…

The quilted jacket has become a bit of a capsule piece if your style errs on bohemian. Sézane’s pretty pastel take also comes with a matching skirt. Love.

Anthropoligie’s prairie-style top has a vintage feel about it. I’d pair it with everything from inky denim to tired maxi skirts or used as a cute cover-up on the beach.

If you’re in the market for a piece of brand-of-the-moment, Loewe, the summer sales are the time to snap one up. This oversized, menswear-inspired shirt will have lasting appeal in your wardrobe, whether worn slouchy with shorts or businesslike with wide-leg tailored trousers.

I’ve had this lace-trimmed Stories dress on my mind for months so you can imagine how thrilled I was to see it down to £59. It also comes in off-white but I think the classic black will work well into the cooler months too.
