designer summer sales

If you've been looking for a way to update your spring/summer wardrobe, then you're in luck, because the big designer summer sales have started, and they're the best I've seen to date.

Both Net-A-Porter and MATCHESFASHION have up to 50% off hundreds and hundreds of items, from summer dresses to designer handbags.

I'm talking Zimmermann jumpsuits, Chloé handbags, Dolce & Gabbana accessories and Ganni boots (this is a great opportunity to stock up ahead of the winter season too).

There are far too many gorgeous items to choose from, but I've narrowed it down to a few items I think are worth buying in the sale...

ZIMMERMANN Brighton tie-detailed tiered paisley-print cotton maxi dress, was £595, now £357 (40% off) at Net-A-Porter

It may feel counterproductive buying boots when we're in the middle of a heatwave, but these are bang on trend for AW21, and a steal at 30% off.
