Boxing Day may not officially be until the 26th December, but many retailers on Oxford Street have already started their sales, both online and in-store, meaning you can grab yourself a bargain ahead of time, and sort out any last-minute Christmas presents too.
Best womenswear sale buys
Boxing Day sales are always a great opportunity to save on those investment items such as coats and designer handbags. Flannels have some great buys, including this classic Longchamp bag. For a nice wool coat, try the & Other Stories up to 50% off sale, also great for party outfits. Stock up on boots for next year in Clarks’ sale – we love these elegant black ankle boots. Jewellery and accessories label Lovisa is offering up to 70% off in its end of season sale too, perfect for those finishing touches.
Best menswear sale buys
After some men’s clothing or accessories? No problem, there’s a sale for that. We love these Geox suede ankle boots, 30% off in the sale and available in a bunch of different colours and this Hawes and Curtis shirt, which is over 60% off, for those smarter occasions. For something more casual, try this puffer coat from Matalan (30% off) or this t-shirt from Moss (there are also plenty of suits in their up to 60% off sale).
Best beauty sale buys
Beauty gifts make for perfect stocking fillers, and since they have a long use-by date, it’s a good idea to stock up on them for the year ahead too. Try this Mac mini lipstick set (20% off at Boots), this Simple ultimate face regime bundle (50% off at Superdrug), this Gucci floral fragrance (£27 off at The Fragrance Shop) or this Inglot face palette (40% off).
Best tech sale buys
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we recommend waiting for the Boxing Day sales to buy big-ticket items, and that includes tech of course. Whether it’s a smart watch, TV, computer, phone or earphones you’re after, now is the perfect time to shop them, with retailers from Currys to John Lewis offering £100s off selected items.
Best homeware sale buys
From Christmas decorations, to tableware, art and even furniture, there are so many homeware bargains you can shop on Oxford Street right now. Here are some top buys to give you an idea: a striped velvet cushion cover from H&M (54% off), a useful green console from Urban Outfitters (40% off), a cosy herringbone blanket from T.K.Maxx (60% off) or this Made dining table from Next (70% off).
And remember, these are just some of the early bird sales that have just started, you can expect plenty more up to 50% off discounts (and sometimes more) at all the other stores from Boxing Day onwards. Happy shopping!
