I Spent Hours Scrolling the Bank Holiday Sales—These 7 Are Really Worth Seeing

There's a lot of things to like about bank holidays, not least the fact that you can spend the worst day of the week in bed watching Netflix, or outside doing something fun if that's more your thing. The May bank holiday might just be my favourite of them all, though. Summer is in the air, and that means it's time to do a wardrobe refresh. Luckily, it also happens to be one that a lot of fashion brands like to celebrate with some seriously good flash sales.

Now, we're not talking the end of season dregs, here. Bank holiday discounts usually mean offers on new-in items you've only just put on your wish list. And since this weekend comes at a time when I want to invest in both transitional and warm weather styles I know I'll be wanting to wear in the coming months.
