I'm a fashion writer and Mango's up to 50% off sale is saving me hundreds
Warm weather has finally arrived and in a stroke of great timing, so has Mango's massive summer sale. The fashion retailer has knocked up to 50% off tons of their clothing and accessories - the perfect opportunity to bag some bargains, without spending a fortune on your summer wardrobe.
Stylish pieces from Mango have even been spotted on the likes of Sienna Miller and Victoria Beckham, who launched her very own collection with the high street brand. From on-trend crochet dresses to classic denim shorts and designer style handbags, there’s plenty of items to choose from to suit any occasion.
I've picked out a a few of my favourite sale items that will see my through the summer season, holidays, sunny weekends, office days and beyond. But, it seems some savvy shoppers have already taken advantage of the Mango sale, as pieces and sizes are selling out quickly. If you want to grab some staples, we suggest heading to the website now - there are hundreds of savings to benefit from.
Our top-picks from the sale:
Natural Fibre Basket Bag, £22.99 (was £35.99)
Natural Fibre Basket Bag
This discounted crossbody bag looks similar to a designer handbag - for more than £500 cheaper. It's bang on trend thanks to the raffia material and it's the perfect size to fit all your essentials including your phone, a book and sun cream. The adjustable shoulder strap means it can be worn as across body if you wanted to go hands-free, or there is the option of grab handles. It doesn't have a zip which may not be preferable for all shoppers but the knot closure should keep your belongings safe and secure.
Asymmetrical Floral Dress, £59.99 (was £89.99)
Person wearing a floral print midi dress
Summer wedding season has arrived and if like me you have a few celebrations to find outfits for, this floral dress could be what you're looking for. Now £20 cheaper, it has a flattering asymmetrical neckline and it should effortlessly skim your body keeping you comfortable all day. The floral print is beautiful but you can add some edge to the outfit with metallic jewellery.
Denim Shorts with Belt, £19.99 (was £29.99)
Person wearing denim shorts
A pair of denim shorts is a staple in any summer wardrobe and these are a lovely option that you can nab for less than £20. The deep pockets are a real bonus in my eyes and the classic blue colourway means they can be paired with all kinds outfits - I would wear mine with a plain white tee and statement gold earrings. A paper bag silhouette provides a flattering fit for all body types and the belt will cinch you in at the waist. If you have a petite frame, they might be a little too long for you but they can easily be rolled up.
Flared-sleeve Crochet Dress, £29.99 (was £49.99)
Person wearing a crochet dress
Crochet dresses are a big trend this season and this bargain buy will save you £20. The flared-sleeve style has a boho vibe to it that wouldn't look out of place at a festival, or it can be worn as a cover-up over swimwear. We love the tie neckline as it adds something a little different. If you think it might be a little too sheer for you to feel comfortable wearing, pop a skin-tone camisole underneath and you'll be good to go.
Square-toe Sandals with Knot, £22.99 (was £35.99)
Tan brown sandals
At £23 you can't go wrong with these tan sandals from Mango. They'll go with every summer outfit and can easily be slipped on and off. They don't have any straps so they might be a little tricky to walk in, however the simplicity of them makes them look so stylish. Made from soft faux leather they shouldn't rub and the flat sole keeps them comfortable if you're wearing them all day.
