Grab A Bargain

It’s sale season. Again. Yes, it may seem like every other week is sale season, but Christmas really is the good one. It’s the time of year that department stores wheel out their long lost items, the special pieces that just didn’t shift and, if you’re lucky, that lusted after jacket/top/shirt or pair of shoes that slipped through your fingers.

Of course, we all know that our favourite high street destinations will go into sale as soon as Christmas Day is over, so below we have picked out some of our favourite online retailers that offer something slightly more luxurious or unique, at a time where you can get a lot more for your money.

So bookmark these ten links now, get your cards at the ready and choose carefully – it’s investment time…

1. SSENSE

First up is SSENSE, the Canadian multi-brand retailer (don’t worry, their shipping is impeccably fast).

Sometimes overlooked, this store stocks a whole host of on-trend international brands and their buyers love both forward-thinking pieces and classic wardrobe staples.

2. FarFetch

This online boutique pulls in products from a global supply chain of independent boutiques, meaning you really can throw your sale shopping net far and wide.

It’s also a great place to check in and compare your bargains, which can often be cheaper here than other destinations.

3. Mr Porter

An absolute must on your sales list, the most elegant online menswear portal is stocked full of superb pieces that will bolster your wardrobe.

Ideal for men who like luxury that isn’t too outlandish, Mr Porter is all about subtlety. As is their sale start date, which is a closely guarded secret. Start checking in daily around 26 December and keep your eyes peeled – the best bits go fast.
