Our Who What Wear UK editors are checking in daily to bring you the latest winter sales updates for key fashion and beauty buys. Keep scrolling for our sales-shopping guidance and our bumper edit of discounted pieces that are worth discovering.
As soon as Black Friday is over, many tend to think that Boxing Day is the only other day to shop the sales, but I'm a savvy discount shopper. With a keen eye, there are savings to be found throughout the whole of December, even once Boxing Day is over. Trust me, some of the best deals can be found near the end of the month.
Of course, we're always cautious about encouraging over-consumption, and sale shopping should be approached with calm consideration to avoid any buyer's remorse or regretful impulse purchases. But a smart outlook that involves shopping for timeless classics and pieces you already had on your wish list for the year ahead can not only save you money in the long run but also help you to shop fewer, better-quality items (that may usually be out of reach) to build a more responsible wardrobe on the whole.
To help you make these smart sales choices, I'm here to tell you about the best of the winter sales fashion deals that are looking undeniably good this year. After all, I've been a stylist and shopping editor for over a decade, honing my expert eye to be able to easily pinpoint the best value discounts and the pieces that will truly stand the test of time.
The best things to buy on sale? Timeless wardrobe classics and investment buys for less.
You may want to move quickly to get those wardrobe gems, but don't worry—I can help point you in the right direction. With almost unbelievable discounts, it's the time of the year when you can pick up designer pieces at more reasonable prices, and those premium-quality high-street buys become even more affordable.
Trust me when I say I've looked through every sale (it is my job, after all) and I have my inside sources feeding me the upcoming sale dates too, so I can keep you as up-to-date as possible. I've made you a concise edit below of the discounts worth checking out and the items I believe are truly worth buying. From practical coats and boots to classic knitwear and timeless designer bags. A lot of the items below I know come back in stock every year, so you can be confident this is anything but the dregs of the season.
Whether you're looking for cosy winter buys, staples to boost your new year wardrobe, warm-weather pieces for holidays ahead or extra special items to treat yourself (or others) with, keep scrolling to see my top investments from this year's Januart sales.

This bag will never date.
Agolde's denim is a fashion-person favourite, so grab these on sale whilst you can.

DEMELLIER
We're super-fans of DeMellier's sleek, elevated, everyday bags—in particular, the brand's carefully crafted totes and shoppers are a favourite amongst our editors. It's not often that the brand goes on sale, so when they do, you know it's time to pay attention. Right now, there is a discount on some key styles in classic neutral tones which means good investments are ahead. Here's our edit.

Shop the Mango sale here:
This longer barn style immediately caught my eye.
High-quality cashmere at such an affordable price.
A sleek alternative to jeans.
MONICA VINADER
Monica Vinader's beautiful jewellery pieces are perfect for layering up day to day (I rarely take my collection of their necklaces off), but it also feels really special to treat yourself or someone else too—especially when there's up to 50% off.

& OTHER STORIES
& Other Stories is one of our editors' high-street go-tos—you know that. But it can start creeping up into expensive territory sometimes, especially when it comes to the beautiful wool coats and cashmere knits (pieces we rate particularly highly). So, its end of season winter sale with up to 50% off is a great opportunity to bag some of these classic buys (that often get restocked season after season) for a lot less. The stock always flies out quickly though, so act fast if you spot something you plan on loving forever.
