Yes, I could happily fill my basket with pretty linen dresses, colourful tops and all the other lovely things that make getting dressed in August feel effortless. These are the wardrobe heroes that bridge the gap between seasons, rather than the pieces that have a very specific summer shelf life. A classic trench or denim jacket is one of those purchases that can completely transform a transitional wardrobe, and the sale has some particularly good options. Rather than another novelty summer tote, I’m looking for styles that will work with jeans and knitwear just as easily as they do with a dress. Essentially, I’m shopping for the wardrobe I actually want to wear in a few months’ time.
