The summer sales are officially upon us with savings on both current and cooler weather pieces. Personally, I love to stock up on pieces that will work in my wardrobe regardless of the current season, snapping up smart deals on capsule wardrobe staples and autumnal pieces that I'll be calling upon next season. But for the COS sale, we also have the chance to instantly update our summer looks with a touch of refinement that the brand has become known for.

To avoid impulse shopping during the sales season, I focus on pieces that I know I’ll feel comfortable in and will hold their place in my wardrobe for many years to come. Truthfully, the best sales buys are pieces you’d want to buy at full price, and aren’t just alluring because of a price reduction. So, I’ve meticulously scoured the best COS sale buys, focusing on the most elegant pieces that have longevity and refinement at their core. Think loose linen trousers, light shirts, and of course, a series of sleek dresses which can be restyled for day or evening. Alongside, there are a few accessories to pull your looks together, from elegant scarves to expensive-looking handbags. Altogether, you could create a designer-passing wardrobe with these sleek sale buys. As the best pieces tend to move fast, let’s get straight into it.
