There’s almost nothing myself or my colleagues love more than a designer sale drop—especially when the edit is filled with time-tested, high-end gems for much more affordable prices. Enter: The Outnet’s massive flash sale, which only happens a couple of times a year and just launched with up to 80% off. So, yes, it’s a particularly joyous day here at Who What Wear UK.
The Outnet is one of our favourite insider destinations to shop designer buys for less on a normal day. So, when the extra sale discount is added on coveted designer pieces from the likes of Bottega Veneta Ganni, Saint Laurent and Zimmermann, you can bet the whole team here are ready and raring to shop.
The only thing that’s off-putting about the sale is the sheer scale of it—there’s over 9000 items with incredible deals on them, so it can be hard to know exactly which are the most worthwhile. Don’t worry, though, that’s why I’m here. I’ve genuinely just scrolled through the thousands of deals (okay, *most* of them, I may have needed a break for a wine around the 8k mark) and taken into account the discount, the stock levels, the timelessness, the versatility and the rarity of each piece in order to collate the ultimate sale edit below.
As always, I recommend focusing on finding classic wardrobe staples in the sale. You know, the ones you’ll never regret. And luckily there’s plenty of key pieces to see you into spring and summer, and even through autumn/winter as well. This season, highlights include Bottega Veneta’s dream trench coat, which forced me to do a double take when I saw it was still in stock at 70% off, a Saint Laurent suede jacket I didn’t know I needed until now—and I couldn’t not include some timeless leather Ancient Greek Sandals which happen to have been on my wish list for years. I also gravitated towards The Outnet’s own brand Iris & Ink, which I love ordinarily for their commitment to quality and the *perfect* capsule staples. The price tags are usually quite expensive, and so I see this as a great opportunity to invest in their premium essentials, like their suede knee boots and leather leggings for less. Yep, I’m losing it a little bit too.
You won’t want to miss the dress offerings either, with plenty of versatile options that will be a joy to wear year after year. Especially from the likes of Ganni, Shrimps and Rixo that you can style now with boots, and all summer with sandals—then dress them up with heels for weddings and events.
Keep reading, then, to see my edit of the unbelievably good buys in The Outnet’s massive spring sale.
