The summer sales are in full swing, new autumn/winter stock is already hitting the shops, plus we’re in the middle of a heat wave – this week it’s time to shop smart.
The new season buys worth investing in are as relevant this week as they will be in October, look out for embellished pieces which will sparkle in the sun, but can be layered later, like this sequin tee from Topshop. For balmy summer night’s Dorothy Perkins’ stretch, snake print dress is the perfect investment. Wear with sandals, sunglasses and a chic clutch now – just add tights next season. We also spotted this zip front dress arriving at Warehouse, it’s a great addition to your working wardrobe if you’re trying to keep your cool in the office. And, finally the new-season statement necklace is set to be the snood. This lightweight jersey one arrives in Warehouse this week – buy it now and you’ll be wearing in as a scarf-cum-necklace all summer, and as a snood for autumn and beyond. Plus, it will keep hair dry if you get caught in this week’s predicted thunderstorms.
