The middle of a heatwave in much of the world feels seems like a ludicrous time to be talking about a padded shell overcoat. But come autumn, when the wind will be biting once more, and when our fashion overlords have decreed that oversized outerwear will be big news (it was everywhere in the AW23 shows), you’ll be toasting your own forethought for shelling out – and saving a chunk of change – on this stunning Italian-made piece by The Row now. And toasty, too.

Our top-three goats, in ascending order: Mr Lionel Messi, curry and cashmere. Because, as much as we love that gravy pon our rice and peas, cashmere has to be number one, right? Even within that bracket, this shawl-collar cardigan by Gabriela Hearst presents among the finest deployments of the wool of the Capra hircus laniger. And for a discounted price? Worn in winter, by a roaring fire? More fyah, we say.

Los Angeles luxury streetwear label Rhude garnered a huge celebrity fanbase when it burst onto the scene in 2015. Eight years later, it’s still going strong. This Rhude Vin Club varsity jacket is a witty take on a collegiate classic and it’s beautifully made, too, with thick flannel panels and full-grain leather sleeves.

Will we ever tire of the Common Projects Achilles Low? The minimal sneaker that started it all has been subtly reworked since its launch in the mid-2000s with new colours and materials, but the underlying design remains consistent. This version, in an anthracite-grey nubuck leather, is a great investment for autumn.

Sometimes you want to look suave and elegant. And sometimes you want to look like you’re about to build a fire and grill a fish you caught yourself. For the latter moments, this wool shirt from our Mr P. range will do you nicely. If you’re actually headed out into the wilderness over the next couple of months, you may not even have to keep this find in your closet until the weather changes – it’s ideal for cool summer nights.

We get it: there are countless more riveting items you could pick up from the Sale than a leather wallet. But while migrating the more statement-making, “fashion-forward” items that you’ve had in your Wish List since the start of the season over to your basket, don’t forget those all-important investment pieces. This A.P.C. billfold in navy offers ultimate bang for buck in cost-per-wear and will patina exquisitely, too.

While a good chunk of your sale purchases will likely be bits you’re stashing away for next season, this summery camp-collar shirt by Onia is one you can rip out of the box and throw on as soon as it lands on your doorstep. Better yet, it manages to be endlessly wearable without being totally dull, thanks to its intricate print atop a neutral, goes-with-everything hue.

If you’re looking to grow your jewellery collection but aren’t sure where to start, consider this gold cuff bracelet from TOM FORD. It’s simple enough that if you’re not an accessories man, it won’t feel too costumey, but it still packs a punch. Wear it with a dress shirt or a T-shirt, this is the kind of piece that’s versatile enough that you can make it part of your everyday. Heck, it could even become your signature.

Let your never-ending quest for the perfect summer sneakers finally end with this Salomon pair – the outdoor specialist’s designs have been all the rage in recent months.

There’s no better time to build your transitional wardrobe than during the Sale, and while it may be too warm for jeans right now, this AMIRI pair is guaranteed to stay in your rotation season after season. It bears all the American brand’s signatures, from heavy fading and whiskering down to the brand’s ripped-up logo.
