What to buy on sales: Things for all times
August is the last month of summer sales, when discounts reach an exciting 70-80%. Fortunately, the basic things that always come in handy, as well as the trendy ones that you may have dreamed of over the past six months, live to extremely low prices. We studied the range of sales in democratic and expensive online stores and tell you what things you should pay attention to.
Swimsuit
By the end of the summer, the swimsuit can be forgotten on vacation or ruined in three months with salt and sun. If you acquire new, now. For example, ASOS and Urban Outfitters laid out unsold swimsuits in a separate section: all sorts of colors and styles are available. You can also apply to Lamoda: they will have consistent and separate democratic models Topshop, River Island, Roxy.
Roxy (2770 rubles), VFILES SPORT PLUS ($35), Prism (10 280 rub.)
The dress
Perhaps most of all now on sales of light dresses that will always come in handy. It is better to look for basic concise models for every day from Russian brands and in democratic stores, and the style depends only on your preferences. I AM Studio has delicate dress in lingerie style with thin straps, cotton - with Oh, my, Cyrille Gassiline and Trends Brands have a straight and loose silhouette. Ypsilon is pleased with dresses with geometric patterns, and Urban Outfitters with versatile and comfortable shirt dresses. Colorful casual dresses are in abundance on ASOS and Monoroom websites, and flying to the floor on Shopbop. More elegant options that can be bought for the New Year's Eve or for any other celebration (asymmetrical, with a fringe or even with a baroque collar) are in abundance from Opening Ceremony and Browns. You should not discount the vintage, which seems to be beyond seasonal fashion, but there are also discounts for it, for example, in the Moscow Vintage Voyage store.

Sandals
Comfortable summer sandals are a truly universal thing: in 2015, it is perfectly normal to combine them with beachwear, and with a bright trouser suit in the city, and even with an elegant dress for a party. But not everyone has yet adapted to this breadth of view, so the selection of slippers on sales is quite wide. The two main sites for this part are the widely known Shoescribe and Solestruck, where sandals are discounted between 30-80 euros. The Moscow Rehabshop store sells Ng 21 and MSGM sandals and Rochas slippers, Monoroom white Vagabond slippers, Nasty Gal Jeffrey Campbell sandals.
Jeffrey campbell (5595 rubles), Marc by marc jacobs (8250 rubles), Robert Clergerie (16 000 rub.)
Jeans
Flares, mom jeans or skinny - any model you like deserves attention. The lack of dimensions on the sale can be compensated by a variety of styles. Look for com-jeans or classic skinny cheaper by Urban Outfitters and Matchesfashion, classic skinny Carhartt WIP and pink Maison Kitsuné from Brandshop, while Bershka has a wide one at Whistles. In addition, a huge amount of designer denim, from Christopher Kane to Ashish Gupta, lived to sales.

Demi jacket
Of course, one month before the autumn it makes sense to look for a coat, raincoats or trench coats. Although in small quantities, they are still represented on summer sales. But for demi-season short jackets the choice is still much wider. Jeans, leather jackets, bombers - for a warm autumn, cool summer and even a European warm winter there is one option. The most difficult thing is the search for a decent massive kosukha, as the most worthy options are quickly sold out. Search advise on Browns, Opening Ceremony and even in the lineup Violeta by Mango. There are also unusual models. For example, on Matchesfashion there was a leather jacket of dark green wool, and in Farfetch, a disco-bomber jacket made of metallized fabric.
Wanda nylon (16 868 rub.), Jil sander navy (15 460 rub.), 3.1 Phillip Lim (40 060 rub.)
Basic skirt or pants
A win-win basic top and bottom every season offers the French store La Garçonne. There are gathered trapezoid, straight and skinny skirts, wide and short pants. In short, the classic universal styles and good quality. All, as a rule, blue, gray or beige colors that fit perfectly into the office dress code, if you have it at work. In the Rehabshop you can still search for excellent skirts with a variety of Chalayan cuts, and in Aizel - light short skirts and woolen midi lengths. Look at Trends Brands for low-end options for skirts and trousers in neutral shades, and Cyril Gasilin for wide trousers.
Trends brands base (3090 rubles), Jacquemus (12 700 rub.), Zara (999 rubles)
Boots
The most comfortable and practical demi-season shoes are sneakers and shoes in men's style - regardless of whether they are massive or more classic and elegant. With sneakers, everything is more or less simple: limited collections are bought up on the first day of sales, and the rest of the discounts are not particularly significant. Although there are exceptions. For example, now you can buy 30 percent cheaper limited Puma and adidas by Raf Simons, as well as rubberized Marc by Marc Jacobs. We advise you to look for classic shoes in the open spaces of the same Shoescribe and Solestruck, ASOS, Urban Outfitters or Nasty Gal.

Underwear
It makes sense to buy luxury or basic underwear just now, although problems with the size of the August sales in this category are inevitable. On the other hand, there is a great chance to find a unique thing. In late summer, prices for expensive underwear such as Dolce & Gabbana, La Perla, Stella McCartney, Fleur du Mal (large selection on Matchesfashion) and Agent Provocateur are getting closer to reality. For example, on LuisaViaRoma sell boudoir linen Chantal Thomass. If erotomanian luxury is not included in your plans, pay attention to basic underwear of the Russian brand Oh, my or for discounts on Lamoda and Urban Outfitters - you can immediately buy a ton of cotton and lace panties and bras for every day. In Kuznetsky Most 20, bodysuits still remain: the thing under translucent things or a jacket.
Agent Provocateur (19 008 rub.), Morgan lane (bodice 4920 rub., panties 2635 rub.), L'Agent by Agent Provocateur (8390 rub.)
Sweater
The first thing you remember about the onset of dank and chilly weather is a warm soft sweater. In it you can walk in the evenings in the park with a thermos in your hand already in September. Fortunately, even at summer sales there are plenty of options. Fott is selling wool sweaters with a bright pattern of the Belgian brand Howlin 'by Morrison, in the Brandshop - pigtail sweaters, ASOS can boast a selection of more than a thousand sweaters at a discount, Whistles offer concise options.
Howlin 'by morrison (7900 rub.), Rochas (29 850 rub.), Max mara (4920 rubles)
Purse
An important trifle about which you remember every time you find cash, cards and other trifles scattered around your bag. A functional and beautiful accessory (no matter for yourself or as a gift) it makes sense to look at the sales. You can grab a bright or neutral wallet.
Mango (499 rubles), Stella mccartney (12,436 rubles), Opening Ceremony ($20)
Basic shirt or top
Blouses, shirts and tops does not happen much. Now there are enough of both democratic options and design for sales. I AM Studio and Trends Brands are selling classic-cut shirts with patch pockets on the chest, Rochas thin silk blouses can be found in the Rehabshop, in Kuznetsky Most 20 - an elegant Walk of Shame, Jacquemus and Silken Favours. A lot of basic crop tops offer Topshop, Zara and Mango. It makes sense to buy them for the future or buy one, but a decent shirt with a beautiful collar.
Jacquemus (11 900 rub.), Zara (499 rubles), Trends brands base (2990 rub.)
Sports equipment
The range of sports items this year appeared in many democratic brands, including Bershka and Mango, and online stores made special thematic sections. Sportswear is now selling off Matchesfashion, Lamoda and Urban Outfitters. In addition to running and training sneakers, you can buy multi-colored sports bra tops, leggings, jackets. There are also amazing things like pink sweatpants, palm print windbreakers and original wristbands. Sports shops like "100% of sports" and "Sportmasters" are selling equipment. You can buy a bike, accessories for aquafitness, rollers and much more.

Umbrella
An umbrella is one more thing, especially important on the eve of autumn, although it is unlikely for most of us to be in the top 10 purchases. In general, the subject is clearly undervalued and not for one year. Surprisingly, umbrellas now also have discounts. It is noteworthy that the British brand Hunter, specializing in protection against rain, also sells old models. Among them are plain and with contrasting neon trim. In addition, umbrellas of unusual shapes and colors can be searched on Lamoda and Shopbop.
Eleganzza (2720 rubles), Hunter ($88), Shedrain ($12)
Neat shoes or sandals
Neutral shoes with heels are always useful. In addition, sales - the very moment when you can find a classic pair of proven brands like Diane Von Furstenberg. More courageous options - in the online store KM20: there are "terry" mules and sandals French Amélie Pichard. Sandals with a steady heel can be found under the brand By Malene Birger. With ASOS, be careful: there are too many pretty models that have survived, and you can lose your head. Residents of the capital are also advised to look into the offline space of the best new Moscow shoe Porta 9 - there is something to profit.
