Head of Fashion Michelle Darlow’s picks
M&S Satin Slip Dress
Michelle says, “In sales, I look for luxe pieces that will work hard in my wardrobe. I would wear this slip dress in so many different ways: glammed up with heels, or layered over a long sleeve top in the colder months.”
Nobody’s Child Sleeveless Bandeau Knitted Dress
Michelle says, “Another tip when shopping the sales, is searching for fabrics that look expensive. This knitted dress is heavy so it hangs nicely. It’s a statement buy, but one I know I’ll wear on repeat.”
The White Company Cosy Stitch Detail Hoodie
Michelle says, “I know you won’t want to be thinking about heavy knitwear in a heatwave, but it’s the perfect time to shop out of season and bag a bargain.”
Boden Alexa Cotton Midi Shirt Dress
Michelle says, “This dress from Boden is so flattering, and especially great if you’re looking for brown tones that can be worn in A/W”.
M&S Denim Jacket
Michelle says, “You can’t go wrong with timeless denim pieces, especially a throw-on jacket. I’ll be chucking this on over my summer dresses. Then come autumn, I’ll team with wide-leg trousers and loafers.”
Cotton On Everyday Lace Triangle Padded Bralette
Michelle says,”Since hitting my forties, I made a promise to myself to upgrade my greying lingerie drawer and sale shopping is the perfect time to do this. It’s improved my body confidence and how I feel when I dress – the power of a sexy bralette.”
Boden Louisa Slub T-shirt
Michelle says, “My wardrobe is made up of good-quality basics. A chic tee with trousers and a blazer is my go-to work uniform.”
Fashion writer Grace Salmon’s picks
Topshop check print microfibre ruched shoulder tank
Grace says, “I always lean towards the ‘jeans and a nice top’ outfit formula, and this check tank from Topshop perfectly fits the bill. I can dress it down for work with a pair of tailored trousers and then take it to after-work drinks by swapping my loafers for a pair of heels.”
Nobody’s Child Khaki Straight Leg Cargo Trousers
Grace says, “I’ve been looking for a cool pair of cargo trousers I can just throw on and go, and this cuffed pair from Nobody’s Child ticks all my boxes”.
Boden Etta Ghillie Mule Clogs
Grace says, “I live in my Birkenstock clogs, so much so that they’re probably in need of an upgrade. And I love the fringe detailing on this khaki Boden pair.
H&M Linen-blend Bermuda shorts
Grace says, “Bermuda shorts are still right on trend, and are ideal for wearing into the office or on date night with a pair of heels and some gold jewellery.”
Marks & Spencer Jacquard Zebra Print Mini Shoulder Bag
Grace says, “This zebra print handbag is perfect for jazzing up a simple outfit, and big enough to fit everything you need in.”
Nobody’s Child Burnt Orange Drop Waist Shirred Angelina Midi Dress
Grace says, “Although it feels like summer is already coming to an end, we’ve still got plenty of warm weather on the way, and this dress will be a lifesaver for the morning commute”.
