Including a secret sale section

We know we’re probably a bit too obsessed with Zara, especially with all its special prices and deals, so much so that we don’t often notice other cool high street brands.

But one we definitely can’t ignore is Mango. Yes, that other Spanish clothing brand that’s recently had such strong collections that there’s much hoo-ha about it dethroning Zara. And it's pretty affordable too, especially if you know which deals to look out for (such as our Mango vouchers).

Mango secret promotions

'On the site there is always a promotion selection where you can find advantageous discount,' Mango tells us, and lo and behold, if you go to the navigation bar at the top and hover over woman, you'll see a red 'promotion' option in the drop down. Click on it and you'll be met with a treasure trover of reduced dresses, tops, skirts, shoes and more.

Another great section of the site to know about is the 'Essential Prices' page. Mango tells us this category isn't just about basics but features key trend pieces, all at the cheaper end of the price spectrum. Think suits, white shirts and minimal accessories mixed in with more on-trend printed dresses and skirts.

Mango discount codes

If you're a first time online shopper at Mango, you can sign up to the newsletter at the bottom of the homepage and get 10% off your first order. Every little helps.

Mango sales

You don't generally know in advance when the sale is, however we can reveal the summer sale will start on 28th June 2017. Also, it's worth knowing that the new bits drop every Tuesday, so if you're going to treat yourself, that's the best day to do it.

Mango free delivery

Ok, so this isn't exactly a secret, buy you can have your order delivered to a store for free rather than paying £2.95. If your order is over £30 though, delivery's free anyway.

Mango outlet

This is without a doubt our favourite bit. There is a secret Mango Outlet site! Brilliant right? The ladies at intu pointed this out, and sure enough, when you scroll down to the very bottom of the Mango site, you'll see a link to the Outlet.

To say the site is amazing is an understatement. Everything is reduced by up to 50%, and you've got everything from womenswear to menswears and kids' clothes, as well as a great plus size section. Heaven.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
