You might notice there's no giggle tonight—we’re on a static camera, and Debbie isn’t here.
So, let’s dive into sale shopping. Why is it worth it? Well, in-person sale shopping offers an opportunity to explore, try different things, and maybe even give a second chance to items you previously overlooked.
It’s also a great time to explore new styles, shapes, and brands. You might find a new favourite brand or style you hadn’t considered before.
Sales can be the tipping point for those coveted items you’ve been eyeing. If it's still there in your size, it might just be the right time to treat yourself.
Now, let's talk about sizing. In-store help with sizing is a big bonus. We often get to know our customers well, which allows us to recommend whether a specific item is worth trying. Early in the season, we have all sizes available, so you can try on multiple sizes to find the perfect fit. During the sale, sizes may be limited, but we can still guide you based on our knowledge of how items fit.
Next, let's talk sale strategy. The key is to be excited! Approach sale shopping with a high-energy, positive attitude. This mindset opens you up to new possibilities and makes the experience more enjoyable. Try on items you might not usually consider. You never know—something unexpected might surprise you and look amazing.
Explore new styles and brands. Maybe there's a higher-end brand you’ve been curious about. The sale is the perfect opportunity to try it out at a reduced price. Investing in timeless, high-quality pieces during the sale can add lasting value to your wardrobe.
Sale time is perfect for stocking up on basics. Items like a classic white shirt, a black vest, or a navy t-shirt are essentials that you'll wear often. Investing in high-quality staples during the sale adds lasting value to your wardrobe.
Timeless Pieces: Look for timeless items that will serve you well over the long term. For example, a well-made black sweater or a classic pair of white linen trousers are always good investments.
Sale Jackets and Blazers: I've pulled out some jackets to show you, like this denim jacket by Mos Mosh. It's got wide sleeves and a modern take on a classic staple:

Blazers are another great sale find. They’ve been a big fashion trend lately, and a good blazer can be a versatile addition to your wardrobe, perfect for various occasions.
You've probably seen me in this navy pinstripe blazer by Mos Mosh. It’s great as a proper suit with matching trousers, but also perfect over jeans for a more casual look. We also have some statement blazers in highlight colours that look fantastic over neutral bases.
Invest in Core Staples: Classic items like stripe tees, black vests, and white shirts are always great buys. They transform different looks and work across seasons.
Sale shopping is an opportunity to try things you wouldn't usually consider. Approach it with excitement and an open attitude. You might find a new favourite piece that you initially overlooked.
Brands vary significantly in sizing. Try different sizes and fits to see what works best for you. Sometimes a size up or down can completely change the look and feel of a garment.
Pay attention to how clothes make you feel. If an item brings you joy or confidence, it’s worth considering, even if it's not your usual style. Clothes are a form of self-expression and can boost your confidence when facing the world.
Consider pieces that can transition between seasons. T-shirts, blazers, jackets, and black trousers are great examples. Items like Religion blouses work now and into the festive season. They're perfect for dressing up for drinks or family celebrations.
Look for items that can be worn in multiple ways. For example, this Neirami dress can be worn loose as a shift dress or belted for a different look. Layer it over jeans with trainers for a relaxed tunic style. Pieces like this are great additions to your wardrobe because of their versatility.
Let's talk about shirts. A classic white shirt is a wardrobe staple, perfect for any season. Shirts are incredibly versatile; wear them open like a jacket or buttoned up as a top. A shirt under a sweater with the collar peeking out is always a stylish look.
Don’t be afraid of prints—they’re timeless and versatile. For instance, print trousers paired with an orange sweater can look fantastic. Prints work well in standalone dresses, making them easy to wear and fun.
