I’m all for a bargain, however, I hate rummaging.
In person sale shopping is my worst nightmare and as much as I love finding a gem in a charity shop it pains me to rifle through looking.
So finding an outlet store for one of the UK’s leading high street stores online was music to my ears.
Mango has a separate website dedicated to pieces with reduced pricing.
It looks just like the normal website, but with hundreds of discounts to be had – what’s not to love?
With a holiday coming up I was eager to see what they had to offer.
Separated into categories as you would find on the normal website it was super easy to navigate.
There is so much on the website all with a good size range which I was pleasantly surprised with.
Plus they have an abundance of stock even having a special section for new in pieces, I spotted some items that I had not long seen in store.
It also had stock from seasons gone by meaning that if you feel like you missed out on something at the time, it’s worth going to check out the outlet to see if it’s still available.
After a quick browse it was clear that I wasn’t going to struggle in finding some new pieces in time for my holiday.
Spending just under £94 I got six things, take a look below to see what I picked up…
Mango Outlet has a great range of accessories, from bags and shoes, scarves, jewellery and sunglasses.
These sunnies are perfect for summer, I got them for £11 off at £8.99 however they have currently jumped back up to £11.99 so hurry whilst stocks last.
The rectangle shape is in for this season, they’re a pair you can wear with everything and for all occasions and they come with a handy case too.
Denim midi skirts have been all the rage and they’re here to stay.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw this one was only £13.99, what a bargain.
I got an XL which in Mango sizing is a 14 and it was a perfect fit and a great length.
It also has a slit up the front for added detail and makes it a lot easier to walk in.
The colour on this cape mini dress is so vibrant I was instantly drawn to it.
With a massive 70 percent off it was reduced from £55.99 to just £16.99.
The cape detail gives it an added touch and makes the dress move really well when you walk.
I bought a size 14 and it fit just like a glove as out of all them this was the one I was most nervous about the fit.
However, Mango Outlet does have the same returns policy as the main store should you need to return anything.
This linen shirt was part of the brand’s sought after Simon Miller collection from last year.
Reduced down to £18.99 it has a saving of 68% and there are still lots of sizes available on the website.
I actually sized down in this shirt as it was quite oversized and it fit great.
The perfect shirt for either wearing over swimwear or buttoned up and worn with shorts or wide leg trousers.
This is also a great piece to wear all year round, layering it up when we head into the colder months.
These elasticated olive green trousers are so comfortable.
They stretchy around the middle so are super easy to wear as well as being a really light fabric which is great for summer.
Whilst these were slightly long for my 5ft4 frame because they were less than £20 it wouldn’t bother me to go get them taken up slightly.
They could work like the shirt all year round, worn with sandals and a t-shirt for this time of year or swapped in for a jumper and trainers later down the line.
If you’re looking for a summer holiday bag then the outlet has plenty of choice.
This yellow striped crochet bag is super fun and screams summer.
Big enough to fit all your essentials in for the beach it’s also really easy to carry on your shoulder.
Plus it doesn’t just have to be a bag for holiday, as these kinds of tote bags come in handy for all your needs back home too.
Fabulous' Fashion Editor, Clemmie Fieldsend has shared the biggest trends on the high street and runway this Spring/Summer.
SHORTS
I know, shorts for summer. Groundbreaking. But you’ll be seeing them everywhere this year, from micro hotpants to long, Bermuda styles in denim to tailoring and everything in between they’re a must have for every occasion.
WHITE
White usually goes hand-in-hand with your summer holidays but whether you’re in the UK or abroad you’ll be seeing an abundance of head-to-toe white looks.
The high street is already a, erm, white wash with the trend that includes shoes and accessories.
HIGH SHINE
Beit metallics or sequins, for 2024 sparkle isn’t just for Christmas.
Expect to see shimmering looks at festivals, weddings or even a barbeque in your neighbours back garden teamed with block brights or simple whites.
BAGGY BOTTOMS
Wide leg and loose jeans have gripped our wardrobes from autumn to winter, but as we move into warmer months expect baggy trousers.
From crisp cotton to lightweight linen, fluid trews should have a firm place in your wardrobe.
PUMPS
Ballet pumps and Mary Jane’s have been clawing their way back into our good books for a while now, but for summer they’re looking less ballerina and more beach ready.
Woven styles and mesh textures are hot off the catwalk and onto the high street, think the 2024 jelly shoe.
GO GIRLY
All things romantic and girly are in for spring with sheer fabrics, pastel shades of blue, yellow and pink gripping the runway. Embellished with bows, lace or flowers, most looks should have an element of being hyper ‘girly’.
