Over time, I’ve learned that the secret to shopping well during a sale is going in with intention. A clear wishlist changes everything. Whether it’s elevated knitwear, a great pair of trousers, investment shoes, or the perfect occasion piece, knowing what you’re looking for helps filter out the noise and avoid impulse buys that haven’t earned their place in your wardrobe.
This is where The Outnet really excels. It’s one of the few platforms offering significant discounts on designer pieces year-round. For the uninitiated, The Outnet is part of the YOOX Group and the sister site to Net-A-Porter. It receives authentic, previous-season stock from over 350 designer brands such as Toteme, Khaite, Zimmerman and Tory Burch, often at discounts of up to 70 per cent off the original retail price.
What To Shop At The Outnet, According To marie claire:
- Best Under $250: Remain Birger Christensen Two-Tone Twill Mini Dress
- Best Under $500: Another Tomorrow Striped Cotton-Poplin Shirt
- Best Under $1000: KHAITE Sasmo Cotton-Blend Satin And Organza Top
There’s a lot of product on The Outnet, so while I do love a good scroll, there are a few shopping strategies I swear by. I always start by searching by brand or designer to tailor to what I actually wear. Filter by size early to avoid disappointment, as availability can be limited, and don’t underestimate the value of shopping off-season — buying winter tailoring in summer or statement dresses well ahead of event season is often where the best discounts are hiding.
If you’re after something specific or tracking a particular brand, saving items to your wishlist and setting up alerts for new drops is well worth doing. As a bonus, the site delivers the same seamless shopping experience we’ve come to expect from the Net-A-Porter group — while not quite as luxurious, delivery is reliable, the checkout process is smooth, and returns are straightforward.
Needless to say, any visit to The Outnet that begins as a quick browse rarely ends that way. More often than not, it turns into a cart filled with wardrobe staples and considered investment pieces — proof that the smartest shopping doesn’t always happen at full price.
