updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:34
Fill up your wardrobe for 2015 with these perfect steals from your favourite online stores.
In case you’ve been too busy recovering from a bad case of the back-to-work-after-extended-holidays hangover, then we’ve got just the solution for you and you don’t even need to leave your seat.
Since Boxing Day, a multitude of online sites kicked off their annual year-end sales that goes well into the new year. From Net-A-Porter, Matches Fashion, Saks Fifth Avenue, Luisa Via Roma to The Outnet, you’ll definitely find something to bag into your virtual cart.
The only most frustrating bit of shopping during the sales is finding our size because every time our eyes land on a pair of shoes that cause us to simultaneously break out in a hyperventilating fit, all hope gets crushed as soon as the ‘out of stock’ or ‘sold out’ phrase appears. Such is the woe of sale shopping but not to fret, we’ve come prepared with tips to emerge from the depths of the sales as a winner.
Sale shopping tips:
1. Always compare prices on multiple sites or go to www.shopstyle.com to see an entire compilation of prices across the different e-tailers.
2. Since you need not be concerned with sizing for bags, jewellery and accessories, it’d be wise to wait out till towards the end of the sale period to purchase them, since discounts tend to be greater then.
3. Rather than bagging trendy pieces, opt for classic, timeless dresses that’ll never go out of style. Or pick out statement pieces that you’re certain you won’t get bored of over the years.
4. We may not have winter in Singapore but investing in one good coat to take on your holidays to cold countries would be ideal and what better way than to purchase it during the sale?
Now, get those cards ready and ring in 2015 with some additions to your wardrobe – all at a steal of course.
