8 Investment Pieces You'll Never Regret Buying in the Sales

Regardless of moving trends from year to year, the camel coat returns each autumn and winter to add a classic feel to modern wardrobes. Over decades, this beige hue has become synonymous with polished looks and adds an elegance to any outfit. Camel coats come in plenty of variations, but if you want one you'll be happy to wear this winter and every winter to come, I'd suggest a wrap style. Theory's Wrap Coat is cinched with a belt, and the relaxed shape still brings a polished feel but can be worn more casually with jeans or elevated with tailored trousers too. And at 30% off, now is the time to take the sartorial plunge. Everyone from Kate Middleton to Hailey Bieber has sported a camel coat this season, proving regardless of your personal style, this coat will work in your wardrobe. 

Reformation may gain a lot of attention for its beautifully crafted dresses, but there's much more to this brand than its frocks. Notably, sustainability sits at the forefront of its creations, using recycled materials, deadstock and repurposed vintage to achieve this. Beyond sustainable practises, the most-loved pieces are issued in extended sizes ranging from an 18 to 28. And finally, and most notably now during Cyber Monday, the best-selling Mason Pants (and everything on its website) are 25% off. The slouchy silhouette embodies the wide-leg style that has reigned supreme this year and is showing now sign of going away. These trousers come in a variety of colours, with the classics (black, khaki, mushroom, oyster) all coming in extended sizes. And they'll look great with the Saint Laurent loafers above.

If you're investing in leather this sale weekend, Wandler is a great place to start. The Dutch accessory brand broke onto the fashion scene with its clean shapes and high-quality leather. Entering at a mid price point, this recognisable arm candy is purse-friendlier than others, especially this weekend. You don't have to be a handbag enthusiast to know that this is a great investment. A mid-size bag is an essential in every wardrobe, big enough to carry your essentials, plus a brolly if needed (which it usually is). The sleek shape will fit neatly under your shoulder thanks to the triangular profile. Though black may feel more classic, this beige hue adds a point of difference whilst maintaining the timeless appeal. The Wandler Penelope has quickly become a firm favourite amongst handbag lovers thanks to its minimalist yet modern-looking form, and at 30% off, its following will only increase. 

COS might be the fashion set's worst-kept secret. The high-street brand focuses on essentials that make up the modern wardrobe. Each of its hard-working staples could easily pass for designer, and the quality matches the imagined price tag. But offered at an affordable price, COS is always a good idea, a great one even, if you invest during the 20%-off Cyber Monday sale. To stop you from being overwhelmed by discounts, the brand has offered a carefully curated selection of timeless gems in this year's sale edit. There's plenty of brilliant pieces to choose from, and I can confirm I've already invested in a few of the season-less staples, but this striped knit is a standout of its sale. Stripes are the go-to print for minimalist wardrobes to add a contrasting aspect to pared-back styles. This knit is not only a layering piece to rely on, but the relaxed silhouette and interesting half-stripe, half-plain gives it an elevated feel that no one would expect from a £63 jumper. 

Investment pieces come in all shapes and sizes and don't exclude our favourite high-street brands. This Cyber Monday, we've turned our attention to these Warehouse knee-high boots as a solid investment piece that will prove its worth within your wardrobe. The past few years have seen a resurgence in knee-high silhouettes, and this black heeled version is a versatile option. Made from 100% real leather and featuring a block heel, Warehouse has really considered comfort and longevity when creating this pair. Thicker heels are notoriously more comfortable than stilettos, allowing you to get more use out of this boot than you would were it uncomfortable. The pointed toe adds a modern touch to the classic shoe that will continue to feel fresh for years to come. At 40% off, this one's a no-brainer. 

The Frankie Shop has emerged as a cult brand for minimalists. The considered styles take classic shapes and add a fresh feel by playing with oversized forms. The end result is a collection of staple pieces that form a chic capsule wardrobe with plenty of outfit formulas to be made. The Bea Crepe Blazer features a boxy silhouette and timeless charcoal fabric. Pair with matching trousers or denim jeans, or show off the accentuated shape with leggings. Snap up this treasure for 30% off now at Net-a-Porter. 

I'm always fascinated by the changing trends in footwear. Some styles move in waves, and once they come back into style, it takes years before we see any movement away from it, and then the cycle repeats. Just think of ballet flats that were ousted for a long time and yet have returned again to be the breakout shoes for this season and the next. Even if the trend peters out, it's only a matter of time before the return to sartorial heights. On the other hand, loafers seem to be an eternal style. Regardless of season or trend, loafers have stuck fast within stylish circles. Yes, they may vary from chunky soles to slimmer shapes, but the classic forms remain en vogue nonetheless. That's why investing in a pair of loafers this Cyber Monday will repay in kind every year to come. Whether you're styling them with puddle pants now or with shorts and a tee for summer, the cost per wear will be minute, especially when you consider the savings. 

Is there anything more classic than a pair of blue jeans? This versatile denim has been around for well over a century and will continue to be a staple forevermore. Though cuts and colours can move in and out of fashion, the straight-leg blue jean exists above trending styles. The hard-working piece can work for almost any occasion: the office, dinners out, running errands, and more. As such a hard-working piece in your wardrobe, investing in the perfect pair will always pay its way in cost per wear. Max Mara's Zena jeans are composed of 100% cotton and cut to a straight style that suits all figures and withstands changing trends. Right now, find them at 30% off on Matches.
