By this point in August, shopping during sales requires a bit more thought. Holidays are drawing to a close, the new autumn collections are starting to fill the stores and fill wardrobes with pieces that feel too summery, which we’ll probably tuck away in a few weeks, making them less appealing.
However, the latest sales can become one of the best moments to find those pieces that work precisely between two seasons. The key is to forget the calendar for a moment and think about how we will wear them in September. A dress that we now wear with sandals can be paired in a few weeks with ballet flats and a jacket, a cotton shirt works all year round, and a pair of loafers can directly solve the first office-ready looks.
It is precisely the interesting thing about El Corte Inglés’ final sales, available until August 31 and with discounts of up to 50% on women’s fashion. Among the discounted items you can still find dresses, shirts, skirts, pants, knits, jackets and shoes that have a lot more life left than the rest of summer.
