What to buy in the sales
The sales are a great time to update your basics. Here I've chosen some simple items that wouldn't go amiss in most guys wardrobes.
However, each person is different and if you don't think these are for you, have a think about what your basics would be and stock up on those in the sales. (And if you're not sure what is "you" then book in for a Personal Colour & Style Consultation). It may be a camel roll neck rather than a charcoal crew, or a duffel coat rather than a peacoat, but whatever it is it should be something you know you'll wear over and over again and it goes with lots of things you already have in your wardrobe.
It won't necessarily be the most exciting thing you buy this year but don't fall into the trap of buying something offbeat just because it's reduced and then never wearing it.
A cosy wool and cashmere sweater from John Smedley is sleek enough to wear with navy wool trousers and a pale blue shirt to the office, and can be worn with jeans at the weekend too.
