John Lewis has dropped a huge sale – and we’re loving everything that they’ve included.
The special offers include a number of departments including womenswear, menswear, home and garden, furniture, electronics and beauty and fragrance and it’s making us want to splurge our whole pay cheques.
And now that the sun is keeping spirits up during lockdown and giving us all the chance to get out our summer wardrobes, it’s the perfect time to splash out on a few more staples to keep us in the sunny spirit.
So we’ve picked out some of our favourites from the John Lewis fashion sale to keep us all comfy but in the summer mood during these sunny lockdown days…
Best John Lewis fashion sale buys
The monochrome dress
Whatever the occasion, any monochrome look will add a touch of chic.
This feather-print piece can be thrown on for a home work Zoom meeting, worn with some sandals for a socially-distanced coffee with the neighbours or even paired with trainers or trusty Birkenstocks for a lovely summer walk.
SHOP NOW: Somerset by Alice Temperley Feather Shirt Dress, £49 (reduced from £99), John Lewis
The bright linen dress
When the hot weather hits, linen is key.
And we’re loving this gorgeous orange take on the trusty linen dress that features a flattering V-neck cut and a waist belt that can be drawn in for a fitted look.
It even has hidden pockets sewn into the side – we’re sold!
SHOP NOW: Floral Handkerchief Hem Linen Dress, £40 (reduced form £79), John Lewis
The floral midi dress
Everyone needs a staple floral midi dress (or 10) in their wardrobe and this tiered frock seems like a wonderful addition.
The soft and light cotton fabric is perfect for sweltering days and the loose fit and wide straps is sure to be flattering to all.
SHOP NOW: Max Studio Floral Print Tiered Dress, £37.50 (reduced from £75), John Lewis
The flattering swimsuit
We might not be able to go on holiday at the moment but it doesn’t mean we can’t splash out on gorgeous swimwear like we would usually be doing at this time of year.
Whether it’s to splash about in a garden paddling pool, laze in an at-home hot tub or just catch some rays in a sun lounger, we love this chic berry one-piece.
It features a control lining to softly sculpt, a scooped back to minimise tan lines and a removable belt for an extra bit of glam.
SHOP NOW: Hvar Belted Square Neck Swimsuit, £19.50 (reduced from £39), John Lewis
The Duchess of Cambridge favourite
Any royal fashion fan will know that the Duchess of Cambridge has impeccable style. And one of her go-to buys her trusty pair of white Superga plimsolls.
So we’re loving this summery bright orange take on the classic tennis shoe.
SHOP NOW: Superga Cotu Suede Trainers, £32.50 (reduced from £65), John Lewis
It might be hard to stick to buying just these pieces from the mammoth John Lewis sale…
Aleesha is digital shopping writer at woman&home - so whether you're looking for beauty, fashion, health or home buys, she knows all the best places to splash your cash. She earned an MA in Magazine Journalism from City, University of London in 2017 after graduating from University of Leeds in 2014 with a BA in English and Spanish (which took her to Madrid for a fun Rioja and tapas-packed year). Aleesha has worked for woman&home since 2019, when she joined the team as their digital news writer. A year on the news team gained her quick and reactive writing skills and a love for breaking stories, invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first, an AOP awards nomination and the nickname ‘crazy watch lady’ after she became so obsessed with the royals that she followed breaking news alerts on her Apple Watch.
Before joining the woman&home team, Aleesha wrote for their sister site GoodtoKnow, where she covered celebrity news, health advice and where to snap up the cheapest lifestyle buys. With a background in beauty, Aleesha has also written for Stylist and Women’s Health where she developed an understanding into what makes a stellar product and which brands are worth paying attention to. She never leaves the house without a slick of lip balm and a good slathering of SPF, cannot live without an eyelash curler by her side and is always on the hunt for new lipsticks to add to her ‘Lipstick of the Day’ Instagram story highlight (and color-coordinated collection).
But it’s not just beauty buys Aleesha can help you with. Social media savviness, strong PR relationships and a need to stay in the know mean she’s all about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys too. She loves indulging in an interior craze (with a bedroom drowned in prints, plants and pink), is a regular visitor to the Missoma and Edge of Ember 'New In' pages and can’t resist the allure of a kitchen gadget—just ask her three coffee machines.
When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, catching up on the latest Netflix craze with her sister, trying out new recipes, drinking wine with her bestie and (in non-COVID times) has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter amongst her friendship group. Oh and she makes the most of her Disney+ subscription by watching the Marvel films on repeat (definitely not just for Chris Evans...).
