Like every year in mid-January, it’s the big winter sales marathon.
Even if this period hides its share of excesses – over here to (re) discover the file of Geoffrey on this subject – it can also do good with our style and our bank account.
If you’re not too crowded, whether you panic at the mere thought of waiting more than thirty minutes at the checkout or you miss “self-control”, consider online sales could be a solution any found. Not to mention all the other benefits of shopping on the Internet.
“Still need to know where to go,” you say! A quick tour of the different addresses …
THE GREAT CLASSICS
The following selection consists of mastodons of the ready-to-wear distribution.
On the other hand, given the profusion of articles offered, these are e-shops that require a relatively long search time.
ASOS
I already see you looking up to heaven!
If the quality is not necessarily at the rendezvous, Asos remains a generalist site where you will find absolutely everything, in all styles and especially for defying prices often any competition. A pink shirt with green peas? Yes, they will surely have it in stock.
Joke aside, it can be an opportunity to stock up on accessories or test an original piece without wanting to put too much budget.
YOOX
Real king of the outlet, on Yoox, it’s a little sales all year. There are permanent promotions on a large set of rooms.
This giant of online clothing distribution1 offers thousands of items from past seasons, often at very attractive prices.
During the sales, the parts leave very quickly and your size disappears quickly. Have fun digging, you may fall on some rare pearls.
END CLOTHING
English multibrand, End Clothing brings together a very wide range of French and international brands. Armor Lux and Puma rub shoulders with Balmain and Alexander McQueen: it is this multiplicity that makes the interest of the site.
From the beginning of sales, we find articles at -50%.
MR. PORTER
A wide range of labels and often premium, from Lanvin to Loro Piana, through Officine General and Acne.
Supermarket luxury ready-to-wear, Mr.Porter can be a good address during sales. You can find the “basic” of large houses, for prices rather attractive but still a little expensive.
You can also go for a ride on his rival Fashion Matches.
THE “SPECIALIZED” SHOPS
Many e-shops have chosen to distribute pieces according to a stylistic bias or a particular price range. Inspiration workwear, denim specialists or designer and luxury selection, here are some examples.
ROYAL CHEESE
During the web of the eponymous chain of Parisian stores, Royal Cheese focuses more on a wardrobe with workwear inspirations. There are beautiful brands – especially in footwear – like Red Wing, Grenson, Clarks or Church’s.
During sales some parts are sold up to 70%.
VERY GOOD
In addition to its own brand, the Very Good e-shop is intended for a clientele rather hype, who seeks to dress according to the latest trends.
The designer labels in vogue (so relatively expensive) are legion: J.W Anderson, Pleated Man Issey Miyake, Gosha Rubchinskiy, Jil Sander or Comme des Garçons. Their cuts to -50% can be worth it on a few coins, making
It also distributes many capsule collections or some interesting collabs, making it popular with streetwear and sneaker lovers.
CULTIZM
Cultizm is an excellent address for fans of workwear or streetwear style, with well-established Japanese and American labels.
He also has a selection of sneakers ranging from classic Nike or Adidas models to more discreet collaborations.
There are some interesting deals with coins sold at -30 or -40%.
TATE + YOKO
Tate + Yoko is an e-shop dedicated to high-end jeans3.
Notice to lovers of denim, especially Japanese! The site delivers brands including Naked and Famous4, Momotaro, This is made in Japan or Big John.
We can do good business during sales, thanks to the -60% offered. For example, Naked and Famous jeans at $ 58.
FRANS BOONE STORE
Dutch e-shop, Frans Boone Store distributes brands with the spirit of workwear or “heritage”.
Representing labels with established know-how, you will find for example Artisan Studio, Incites, Engineered Garnements or Zanone.
farfetch
Distributor of major designer and luxury brands, Farfetch is the high-end e-shop par excellence: Yohji Yamamoto, Visvim, Raf Simons, Coach, Berluti, Iro, but also emerging labels.
It also has a shop “vintage” where it will be possible to “hunt” online some pieces of large claws dated the 60s, 70s or 80s.
If the price positioning is, in fact, very high, we can still hope to find some coins that can be worth during sales (up to -60%).
It will still be necessary to get hold of the wallet.
MORE CONFIDENTIAL PLATFORMS
We move to newer e-shops or “human size”. Their selections, always accurate, allow you to precisely target a few specific pieces during your purchases. We then favor quality over quantity.
MALL
Far from being a big supermarket garment, Mall an e-shop became a shop near the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris.
Although known today, it is rather his selection that is meant to be quite confidential and above all ethical. There are few but relevant references from brands such as Veja, Paname Blue, Monitaly, S.N.S Herning, A Kind of Guise or AMI.
The beginning of the sales is marked by the classic -30%.
BEIGE HABILLEUR
No more Beige Dresser, nugget for lovers of elegance. The pricing policy is honest, where few addresses focus so many brands in the same place: Private White V.C, Valstar, Mackintosh or Surveyor …
Ideal to find some quality tailoring pieces (with the prices that go with it).
WELL WELL DRESSED (BBH)
New kid in the big horizon of men’s fashion, Well Dressed (BBH for the intimate) is an e-shop dedicated to “responsible menswear”.
Their creed: to offer brands far from the usual standards of major retailers, and to promote ethical labels with a responsible approach (both environmental and social).
There are rare brands like Uniforms for Dedicated, La Paz, Mosca and Norwegian Rain. For sales, the first discounts start at -30%.
NOMANWALKSALONE
NoManWalksAlone is an e-shop focused on “legacy” brands. Side style, we are on the classic, rather upscale.
Being able to be considered as an equivalent of Beige Dressmaker, it distributes quite eclectic labels. There is a cloakroom inspired workwear or tailoring.
GRADUATE STORE
Web version of Bordeaux multibrand of the same name, Graduate Store offers a wide range of young designers, some very trendy at the moment.
If the brands are not necessarily worth all the time outside sales period, the prices displayed at -40 or -50% are worth it. It includes AMI, Stussy, Neighborhood, A.P.C, Black Flag and others.
THE FINAL WORD…
The sales period is conducive to buying online: you will almost always enjoy the same discounts as in store, with a wider choice, without moving your sofa.
The e-shops that I have presented require – almost – all paid delivery systems7 and all have simplified and secure payment systems, if some of you still fear to take the step online.
The rule remains the same as during the rest of the year: make thoughtful purchases and not give in to our urges, despite the tariffs.
