In this 'Boxing day' episode I wanted to share my top tips for shopping in the sales, I chat about each one of the areas;

1. Set a Budget

Decide on a spending limit before you start shopping. This helps you avoid overspending on items you don’t truly need.

2. Make a Shopping List

Identify wardrobe gaps and list items you need to complement your existing pieces. This keeps you focused and reduces impulse buying.

3. Know Your Style

Stick to your personal style and avoid being tempted by trends that might not work for you. Think about what aligns with your lifestyle and personality.

4. Prioritise Quality Over Quantity

Look for well-made, versatile pieces that will last, even if they’re slightly more expensive. A great sale price is only valuable if the item is worth it.

5. Check the Return Policy

Sales items often come with stricter return policies. Make sure you can exchange or return items if they don’t fit or suit you.

6. Be Strategic with Timing

Shop early for the best selection or wait until the final days of the sale for the deepest discounts—but know the risks of items selling out.

7. Invest in Classics

Focus on timeless wardrobe staples like tailored blazers, classic coats, neutral knitwear, and high-quality denim that won’t go out of style.

8. Avoid the "Bargain Trap"

Just because something is discounted doesn’t mean you should buy it. Ask yourself: “Would I pay full price for this?”

9. Shop Online and In-Store

Check both online and physical stores for the best deals. Often, online discounts or codes can make a big difference.

10. Try It On

If shopping in-store, take the time to try things on. For online shopping, double-check sizing charts and reviews to ensure a good fit.
