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, Maison Margiela, Jil Sander (some of the most in-demand luxury labels for the season ahead, no less) 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 7,000 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 (I may or may not have needed a break for a wine around the 5k 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—the ones you’ll never regret. And now is a perfect time to be thinking ahead to classic early winter buys you can secure for less.
