How to score the best sales bargains without feeling guilty.
Sales! You love it or you hate it.
The sale has already started. Time to take a shopping trip and expand your summer wardrobe! Want to know what items you must buy during the sale period? Then keep on reading!

Start at the beginning. Take a moment to stand in front of your closet and list what basic pieces need to be replaced. Maybe there are fashion trends you'd like in your closet? Have you had your eye on a more expensive piece? Or do you want to finally be able to shine at your friend's long-awaited party in that fancy party outfit? Make a note of it all. Then put on your easy clothes and go shopping!

1. Go basic!

Sales are the perfect time to shop for timeless basics at discounted prices. Invest in classics such as

  • a little black dress that you wear, depending on the occasion, with sneakers or high heels;
  • a knitted tank top to wear over a white shirt, good for winter days and chilly summer evenings;
  • or a comfy maxi-dress with a high slit in striking orange.
  • These basics are perfect for different occasions, you can combine them endlessly and they often last longer than one season.

    2. Go for quality

    In addition to timeless basics, the sales period is also ideal for slightly more expensive quality fashion items, which is now affordable thanks to the discount. Does an item still costs a small fortune? Don't buy it... yet! If after a few days you notice that the garment is popping up in your mind all the time, return to your favorite store and buy that must-have!

    Speaking of must haves... These three animal and graphic printed shirt dresses are a must have! Yes, all three of them! Because thanks to the sales you can buy them all for the price of one more expensive one. They are perfect to wear to work, for an afternoon of shopping or a night out.

    3. Trendy fashion at mini prices

    Spending a lot of money on clothes that you already know you will only wear for one season? That's crazy! Just like for basics and more expensive pieces, the sales are the perfect time to score all your favorite "fashion whimsies" at mini-prices.

    What about these fashionable items for example?

  • Although the maxi dress may already be called a classic, the paisley print of this dress provides a contemporary touch.
  • A tank top in soft rainbow colors, that's two trends united in one garment.
  • You are guaranteed to stand out in this contemporary black sleeveless blazer dress. Trendiness on point!
  • Floral print shirt-dress with belt. Colourful knitted tank top in rainbow color. sleeveless blazer dress in black

    4. Look ahead! Shop your party outfit now

    When you go shopping in the sales, think ahead: that one friend who is finally getting married, your mom's birthday party or New Years Eve 2021, you need the perfect party look. Buy a glittery playsuit with sequins or a cheerful party dress with see-through sleeves at half price during the sales... And shine twice as hard later in the year!

    5. To wait or not to wait?

    To end we would like to add ...
    Some fashionistas can't wait to go bargain hunting. In their opinion, it's best to shop around in the first few days because items are usually out of stock quickly during sales. The first days you still have the widest choice and the best chance that the right size is still in stock.

    The more daring among the sale hunters would advise you to wait a little longer before going on a sale. If you take the gamble and go to the sales one week later, you could already shop that one perfect item at -60% or even -70%!

    The choice is yours! ;-)
