Usually, Boxing day and January sales feature current season markdowns but
occasionally retailers also take out left over Summer stock to get sell off. Fashion
trends tend to follow a pattern so it’s likely that some on-trend pieces for summer 2013 will be back in style for 2014.
Think tactically before hitting
the shops. Department stores are a good idea
as everything can be found under one roof. Head to Harrods in London for great designer
discounts up to 60% off, this sale starting at 10am on Boxing Day and running throughout January 2014. For more designer bargains head to Harvey Nichols who will feature
up to 50% off in store.
Can’t be bothered bashing through
the crowds? Try theoutnet.com, who had a massive 70% off attractive
designer goodies for Boxing Day last year, we predict the same this time round.
Preparation is key! Make a list
of items you need for next season and bear in mind the following trends for S/S 2014:
Metallic
clothing, metallic leather accessories, or pieces with a sheen and light reflecting
surfaces. These kind of textures were popular on Catwalks for S/S 14. Look
for sugary pastels - pale pink and baby blue on metallic surfaces.
This trend shown on David Koma, Preen, Felder Felder and Burberry
Prorsum. If you’re after a brand spanking new bag, something along the lines of
the shiny Anthropology satchel for S/S will do the trick.

Another
fabric to look for is lace. Pastel shades in lace like Burberrys or vibrant
juicy pops of lace and croquet like L’Wren Scott or Bora Aksu’s collection.
