Top tips for shopping the Reiss sale

As well as signing up to the Reiss newsletter to get 10% off you first order, consider the following:

  • Plan beforehand: Make sure you peruse the Reiss offerings in advance of big sales and, if you have time, pop into a store and try on pieces you have your eye on so you know exactly what size you're after.
  • Shop sustainably: Be diligent about sticking to your shopping list and only invest in pieces that you know will go with at least three other items in your wardrobe, so that you don't end up buying something you get no wear out of.
  • Check out the brand's tailoring: Reiss does brilliant tailoring, so I'd always suggest opting for smart trousers, a sleek neutral blazer, or a wool coat at a discounted price.

FAQs

When does the Reiss sale start?

There is no official start or end date for the Reiss sale. You can find items discounted year-round in the brand's online outlet section, or via retailers like John Lewis. However, items in the outlet section tend to come in selected sizes and sell out very quickly, so it's worth checking it regularly if you are hoping to score specific items.

Will there be a Reiss Black Friday sale?

Reiss doesn't dive into the Black Friday sales with the same energy of other high-street retailers. In fact, they haven't traditionally offered any discount event at all. However, if you keep a close eye on their online outlet, you'll see more pieces of clothing appearing with more significant savings up for grabs.

If there's a specific piece you've been saving in your shopping basket, you can take a look at retailers such as John Lewis and House of Fraser who are bound to have some sort of blanket saving of discount across their offering when Black Friday rolls around.

What Reiss products were in the sale last year?

Last year a range of products from the chic brand were on offer, as Reiss offered up to 60% off on the outlet store as well as around 30% off on certain full-priced items. The outlet store features reduced items such as dresses, blazers, coats and much more.

What is Reiss best known for?

Fashion editor Rivkie Baum, tells us: "Reiss is a master when it comes to tailoring, delivering a designer feel at a lower price point. Reiss coats are some of the chicest on the market, ideal for slipping into a capsule wardrobe."

"Crafted from high-quality fabrications, with thoughtful, figure-flattering cuts, you can snap up some seriously classic silhouettes in neutral colourways that won't date. Also keep an eye out for the Reiss Atelier line, which is the brand's latest edit, focused on Quiet Luxury, could-be-designer-style."

Is Reiss true to size?

We asked Senior Fashion Writer Amelia Yeomans, who has tried on lots of Reiss womenswear including Reiss coats, whether she thought the brand offered clothing that's true to size. "I have always found Reiss items to fit perfectly true to size, especially the brand's outerwear," says Amelia. "The premium materials tend to be very comfortable and not at all restricting, so if you're shopping online, you can be pretty confident that your usual size will fit you well."

How can I return Reiss sale items?

If you bought something in-store and need to return it, you have 28 days and can return it in a Reiss store, or conveniently, a Next store too. The policy applies to full price and sale items.

If you ordered online, you can pay for a courier to collect your parcel for £1.95 per parcel, or return it to your local Evri Parcelshop or locker. This returns policy is applicable to both full-price and sale items, too.
