How to Shop the Sale - Top Tips for Sales Shopping at McArthurGlen's York Designer Outlet

Jan. 19, 2012 - PRLog -- With over 120 leading fashion and designer brands, including Brooks Brothers, Basler, The Kooples, Kurt Geiger, OSPREY LONDON, Phase Eight and Ted Baker, at up to 60 per cent less all year round, Linsey Wright is an expert at spotting a bargain.

Linsey Wright, Style Consultant at McArthurGlen’s York, says, “The key to savvy sales shopping is planning ahead and not impulse buying. It’s important to make sensible decisions, for example, a timeless little black dress is a much better bargain buy than a fashion fad from last season. Size also matters when shopping the sales; you should avoid compromising on size and fit for a bargain.”

Linsey Wright, Style Consultant at McArthurGlen’s York -  Top Tips For Shopping the Sale:

+ Check what you already have - Before you leave the house and hit the sales, inspect your wardrobe and make sure you know what you have and what you are missing.
+ Be strategic - Make a list of what you hope to find in the sales and try not to get sidetracked. Remember that just because it’s a bargain, doesn’t mean it is always right for you.
+ Wear flat shoes and comfortable clothes - It is likely that you will be on your feet, in and out of fitting rooms all day so it’s important to be dressed appropriately.
+ Keep it classic - Aim to build a staple wardrobe. The sales are a great time to pick up timeless classics such as a tailored jacket from Ted Baker. Also be on the lookout for great basics such as t-shirts, the perfect ballet flats, or a useful leather handbag Radley, to match with items you already have.
+ Complement your existing wardrobe - Take into account the cut, colour, shape and styles that suit you. Make thoughtful purchases that reflect your signature style; the sale is not the time to drastically change your look.
+ Try, try and try again - If it is not a good fit then it is not a good buy. It is always worth asking if there are more sizes available other than those on the shop floor.
+ Accessorise - The easiest way to update your wardrobe is by accessorising.  Statement jewellery from Ted Baker will instantly update your outfit and bright scarves are great ways to breathe new life and colour into your wardrobe.
