When it comes to putting together a truly great wardrobe, I'm an advocate of balance. Some pieces, like a great white T-shirt or an affordable yet expensive-looking jacket, can be quickly snapped up from a high-street store, but if you're able to spend a bit more, there's success to be found in smart investment buys. And with the January sales underway, adding luxury pieces to our wardrobes is even easier right now.
With months of winter already behind us and more to come until spring arrives, our wardrobes can feel a little stale and in need of a new piece or two to breathe fresh life into our most reliable looks. This doesn't mean a sudden shift in our aesthetic with rogue purchases that don't suit, but rather, keeping smart buys front of mind that will complement our outfit builds this season and for many to come. The January sales are the perfect opportunity, and after a quick scroll, I found so many designer gems with seriously good added discounts.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that designer sales only include out-of-season pieces you'd have to wait months to wear, but that's not the case. Luckily for us, there are so many winter heroes to be snapped up right now, like sleek outerwear from Toteme and Kassl Editions, cosy knitwear in both playful patterns and refined shades; along with easy, timeless accessories.
Keep scrolling to explore the very best new-season luxury pieces I found in the January sales.
