Our Best of Sale Roundup

Net-A-Porter

Up to 40% off some great wardrobe staples and elevated basics. Our favourites include this Khaite cotton jersey tank with a high V-neck, Matteau pleated twill shorts, and a Carven cashmere hoodie available in black and dark grey. Other standouts are Lemaire’s cotton poplin shirt, this Carven leather clutch in grey or burgundy, and textured flats: ostrich-effect from Le Monde Beryl or calf hair slippers from Tove. These strappy leather Aeyde sandals are also in the mix.

Helmut Lang

Deep discounts mean some of the best pieces, like these cocoon-shaped pull-on jeans, strappy tank, slim jersey pants with an attached skirt, and chic tuxedo shirt, are all under $240.

SSENSE

Their sale lineup includes Studio Nicholson’s Cito shorts (also in tan) and summer-appropriate knits like this &Daughter cashmere and cotton V-neck in cobalt blue. I also spotted lots of great burgundy pieces, if you like to add richer hues to your summer neutrals, like this port-coloured polo-neck sweater, a Dragon Diffusion tote (the discount isn’t huge, but they are rarely found in the sale), and these Lanvin patent ballet flats.

Another Tomorrow

The best sales aren’t the ones that run discounts on archive or off-season pieces. It’s the ones that include spring styles released just a few weeks ago. Another Tomorrow’s sale is exactly that. I love this Tencel cocoon top. A video came up on my feed last week of a man warning women against the “unflattering” cocoon trend, claiming it makes us look like we’re in diapers, which only made me want to wear it more. Also in the sale: this amazing oversized textured cotton sweater and a fluid trench coat.

Nili Lotan

Their end-of-season sale just launched today, with up to 30% off. The Otis and Rolland jeans are both included in a full-size run.

MyTheresa

You’ll find the Khaite high V-neck silhouette in a short-sleeve maxi dress (30% off) and a tank dress variation (60% off).

Newness Worthy of Your Attention

• Dorsey released more paracord necklaces, with a new bracelet and anklet version, and chose Camille Rowe to front the campaign.

• A flurry of high-summer pieces - tailored cotton poplin, airy linen, and delicate lace - anchor the latest releases. It’s the more affordable labels’ time to shine, those that don’t compromise on craftsmanship, as there’s less to separate their versions from those at a higher price point.

  • Rue Sophie’s lineup features gorgeous pintuck pieces like the pique nique cotton shirt and structured cotton skirts like the matching pique nique skirt, this more voluminous version or this cobalt blue poplin one. The linen scoop-neck dress is also worth a look.

• I’m on the waitlist for Donni’s gingham silk taffeta drawstring cargos. The top version in soft summer colours like cornflower and taro is still in stock.

• Another great skirt is this drop-waist version in organic cotton by Modern Citizen.

• While sales rage everywhere else, Totême dropped new pieces in their evergreen Garderob line. Pieces like this oversized summer shirt and the wide summer trousers have been designed to keep you looking chic in 30°C heat, with the addition of Totême’s obsession with flawless tailored fits. Add their saffron Venetian slippers by day or croc-embossed heeled sandals by night.

• If gingham is on your summer radar, Frame has made a collared top that softly gathers at the waist, with the option to pair it with the matching skirt. Their latest drop also includes this cashmere and silk polo dress and some great options for those who need to dress up for the office, like this structured linen blazer and this scallop sailor blouse.

• Also worth noting is this contrasting flowing skirt (my favourite of the many excellent cotton skirts included here) and this embroidered drop-waist dress by Merlette.

• Fun things have dropped in beauty, too. Merit launched The Uniform - a tinted mineral SPF that’s already getting good reviews for its lightweight feel. If you’re using it, put an actual SPF underneath to get adequate protection. Glossier released a new cooling, creamy lip oil. If you place an order, here are the Glossier products on my everyday rotation: the Stretch Concealer, another purchase influenced by

  Anna Newton
  I will never look back on. It provides light coverage and a very subtle illuminating effect. I wear shade Light 2. The Lash Slick mascara in Brown - I just repurchased my third or fourth tube. And the Glossier Monochrome eyeshadow trio in Jute. This is a beauty product I can’t go without. I confess I mostly only use the matte colour, but it is perfection. It’s a soft taupe without the slightest hint of warmth (my pet peeve). Applying it in a soft halo under my eyes feels like it changes my whole face.

• Recent additions to my wardrobe include Totême’s double-pleated pants, which I got for my birthday last week. They are the perfect tailored but fluid black pants. I have worn this denim House of Dagmar jacket every day since receiving it. I also added The Row’s mini slouchy Bindle suede bag to my summer wishlist.
