To me, I don't really bother with sales in the first few weeks, I'll have a browse, and pickup anything I'm totally in love with, (I must say this does not include boxing days sales, which are a tradition for me ...) But on the whole, it's just not worth it, because things will get even cheaper in the days to come. Take this wonderful time of year, posts financial year sales.
I find online is a lot easier to navigate for these sales, as you don't rummage through racks and piles of crap with your hands. There are still all the gorgeous pictures and explanations of all products, and it's a lot easier to spot and find something you like.
Best tips?
Look for things you will wear in the upcoming season, or trends that have only just begun. Summer is coming, anything transeasonal, cardigans, shorts, close toed heels, and the beginning trends, if you didn't see it last year, that's a pretty good indicator. Otherwise have a look at international sites like shopbop and ASOS, and see what they're yelling about, you can be pretty sure that what they're wearing at the moment, is what we'll be wearing in six months.
Even better! Look for classics, the perfect jeans, tank tops (or t-shirts if you prefer), suits, anything that can be worn year after year without looking out of season..
