Hoping for an Indian summer? These treats are on sale now! Feeling optimistic for an Indian summer in the UK, or thinking of a quick break to top up that tan before winter descends? If you hurry to the high street or choose to shop online, you can still find some great pieces from last season. Better still, many stores currently have these previous collections on sale, meaning you can grab a bargain.
If you have a holiday in mind, a new bikini is a must-buy. Online stores often feature a huge selection year-round, such as the cute range of Pistol Panties beachwear at Avenue 32. The British/Colombian designer behind the brand creates bikinis and swimsuits in bright colours and vivid prints, from nautical classics to tribal designs. Browse Avenue 32 for more beach style inspiration.
Floral prints are the perfect way to make the most of any sun we may get this month and as the trend is set to continue into autumn, a floral piece is a key buy. River Island’s current sale features a number of dresses in fun florals, with some at better than half price. If England’s weather proves a little too chilly for bare legs, opt instead for flowery tapered or cropped trousers, also available in River Island’s sale.
Even if you are thinking of holidaying on the continent, temperatures in southern Europe will have cooled since the scorching summer months. This means a thin sweater or cardi will work equally well at home or abroad. Go for thin knits which can be worn over delicate summer dresses, though keep you warm come sundown. Gap reigns supreme when it comes to knitwear, and their website still features a range of colour-block jumpers, as well as lighter button-up cardigans.
Don’t worry if your last year’s sandals are looking a little tired, as there are still great summery options to be found. Nothing tops off a summer look better than a wedge heel. A strappy pair with an espadrille-style rope sole will look great when teamed with a maxi dress for an evening out. Aldo has a number of jewel-toned pairs, as well as plainer tan leather, for the less adventurous. If you are staying in the UK, you needn’t get out the winter boots quite yet! Dune’s current sale features ladylike court shoes with mid to high heels. Choose peep-toe pairs in pale or nude tones to complement a summer outfit.
If your tan has faded and even hints of an Indian summer are not enough to tempt you into summerwear, then sunny accessories are a must. It is easy to brighten up casual jeans or a blazer with a bold bag, so why not check out Accessorize? Browse shop sales, as well as the Outlet section of their online store for clutches, purses and handbags in tropical prints and hues.
Fingers are crossed for a sunny September in the UK and luckily, there is still time to add to your summer wardrobe before winter. Check stores for current sales and pick up stylish pieces at a snip.
