Clue Yourself Up On The Best Time To Buy Designer Sale Items
Believe it or not, there are some very specific times out of the year when it is a good time to buy things and certain times when you’ll really struggle to find a great deal. Although, of course, Shop It To Me will always find you the best deal we can!
We created a blog all about this very recently so that we could really highlight to our loyal customers the best months to shop for certain fashion items and when you can find the deepest discounts for individual categories of items, looking at trends in data we’ve been collecting over time.
If you really do your homework (and we’ve done most of it for you), you can see that designer sale shopping really does work on a timetable. For example, taking a look at the stats in our blog, you’ll see that if you’re after a designer handbag sale, January is your month, whereas the hunt for designer sunglasses on sale starts in May and peaks in July.
Get in the know about when to shop and you are already becoming a designer sale pro.
Buy Weird Things At Weird Times, And SAVE
Linking to our last point, buying at just the right time is what designer sale shopping is all about. Sometimes, this means purchasing weird things at weird times, but if it’s a luxury piece that you’ll keep for years to come, who says winter is a terrible time to buy all your designer swimwear?
Actually, the data proves that if you were to purchase swim in December or January, which let’s face it, it’s not usually at the top of your agenda unless you’re taking a winter break in the sun somewhere, that you’ll save the most money possible.
In fact, finding designer swim in December will lead you to make an extra 5% saving when compared to sales around the rest of the year, which can make a huge difference when purchasing a couple of suits from high-end labels, such as Norma Kamali or Mara Hoffman, which can see high-end, stunning quality swimsuits priced into the hundreds of dollars price bracket.
Of course, buying swimwear in the sale during winter isn’t easy in-store. Well, actually it’s near impossible. Which is exactly why Shop It To Me can show you everything that all the stores, such as Barney’s and Nordstrom still have in stock but don’t have out on the floor because of the time of year. And it’s on sale. In secret!
And it’s not just the swimwear that can be found at weird times of the year. If you’re clever with high ticket items, like outerwear and you purchase them in the sale during August instead of as soon as it starts to get cold then you’re likely to see savings greater than any other time of year.
It might feel crazy buying your new designer teddy coat in the sunshine, but come October and November, you’ll be so glad you did! And you’ll have a winter treat waiting for you all summer that will help make you feel better when the weather turns.
Now that’s doing designer sale shopping the right way. Plus, you’ll find yourself buying much chicer and long-term purchases instead of trend or impulse buys because you’ll really be thinking about it in advance.
Choose Classic Pieces That You’ll Never Regret
Moving on from our last point, nailing a designer sale is hugely to do with the pieces that you actually end up choosing. Classic, chic, elegant and long-lasting items of beautiful quality are the pieces that you’ll never regret investing in and that will never go to waste.
It can often be tempting to purchase on impulse when sale shopping believing that you’ve bagged yourself the greatest bargain. However, if you never wear your designer purchase because, to be honest, it’s not really your style, then it’s was never really a bargain, to begin with.
Choose classic items that can take you through the seasons and you’ll start to build a designer wardrobe that you’ll love for years to come.
Keep Yourself In The Loop
Lastly, and as we mentioned at the beginning of this blog, keeping yourself in the loop when it comes to designer sales and price drops is crucial to shopping them well. Now, this doesn’t mean permanently keeping your ear to the metaphorical ground and watching multiple Instagram sale pros avidly hoping to hear a hint or tip on the next sale to hit. No. This means, keeping yourself in the loop with the help of Shop It To Me.
Turning on your email notifications and making sure your preferences are up to date on Shop It To Me is the best way ever to ensure you never miss out on that designer handbag sale or luxury evening gown.

This will add this item to your personal list on your profile and ensure that you receive all the all-important price drop updates for that item, in particular, allowing you to pounce when it hits the best price.
