I Spent Hours Scrolling the Bank Holiday Sales—These 6 Are Really Worth Seeing
The bank holiday weekend is here and some of our favourite brands are offering exclusive discounts to celebrate. From high street heroes to luxury buys, explore the best sales buys here.


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.
Scrolling through endless pages of sales searching for the best deals can be more than a little boring, though, especially when you've got plenty of other plans you'd rather be enjoying. But that's where I come in. Before teamBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing *slam our laptops shut* for the long weekend, I've done you all a favour by researching and scouring all of the bank holiday fashion I could find, in order to report back on the very best ones you actually need to know about. Yes, you can thank me later.
From linen trousers to occasion dresses, there are plenty of versatile buys here that you'll rely on all season and beyond. And that's truly the sign of a great sale buy. I've even tracked down great deals on iconic pieces, from that Whistles' leather jacket to a Jacquemus bag courtesy of Harrods that I've had my eye on for months. Both Other Stories and Anthropologie are celebrating dresses this weekend, with discounts on polished and playful dresses alike.
Okay, enough time wasted. Keep scrolling to see and shop the seven best bank holiday sales that were too good for me to gatekeep, along with the key buys I'd recommend investing in this year...
