Bag Yourself A Designer Bargain In The Summer Sales

Alas the summer will soon be coming to an end. But not too soon as we still have at least a month to go and even better the chance to indulge in designer goodies at a great price in the summer sales. For those taking a late summer holiday, the sales are the perfect time to stock up on a few holiday essentials like a beach kaftan or designer maxi dress or two. For those of us who won’t get the chance to jet away to the sun or whose holidays are now a distant memory, there are still plenty of bargains to be had. A great piece of designer clothing will last you for many seasons to come and if you choose carefully you may be able to find some great clothes including designer evening dresses and party dresses that will work for autumn and winter just as well as they do for the summer.

By choosing a classic style of designer dress it will become an investment that you will just keep wearing and wearing for many seasons to come. Some designers pieces are even described as future classics and it is well worth investing in dresses by the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Christopher Kane as they are likely to become iconic in the future even if they are not so already. Designers like Isabel Marant and Vanessa Bruno also make great classic styles of clothes that are unlikely to ever go out of fashion.

Great summer dresses that are well worth buying in the summer dresses include signature pieces by well known designers like the draped dresses of Peter Pilotto and evening dresses by Alberta Ferretti.

An LBD or little black dress is always a good buy in the summer sales as it is about as versatile as you can get. This DKNY convertible strapless dress is such a simple but stylish design and can be converted in to a skirt with a simple tug of the waistband. It is typical of Donna Karan’s minimalist dresses made of fluid fabrics.

This Vivienne Westwood Anglomania purple drape dresswill turn heads at any tome of year. Its long sleeves make it great for the autumn and winter and any fashionista knows, Vivienne Westwood will never go out of fashion.

Pale pink doesn’t just have to be a summer  colour. Swap the white jacket for a black jacket and shoes and you have a look that is perfect for partying the autumn and winter away. This blush Betty Boop strapless dress by Paul & Joe is a great buy in the sales, can be worn as a cocktail dress, a party dress or for any evening occasion and reduced to less than half price.

You could also skip the summer sales and go straight to a site like the Outnet which sells designer dresses at great discounts all year round. This beautiful Ozzy cotton dress by etoile Isabel Marant is perfect for daytime or evening. For a really in trend look try teaming it with a black leather biker jacket.
