John Lewis’s sale includes a bunch of summer must-haves – plus a Duchess Catherine favourite

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 (opens in new tab) 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…
