It's time to build your ultimate winter wardrobe with these end-of-summer sales

Summer is officially over.

For some, this might have you plotting an overseas adventure to escape the cold, and for others, you might be jumping with joy, as you prepare to pull out the trench coats and scarves from the depths of your wardrobe.

For me, I am a huge fan of the cooler months, but more specifically, the fashion that comes with them. I love the look of layering and the idea of rugging up before heading out each morning, but unfortunately, it seems my wardrobe is currently ill-equipped for anything below 25 degrees, which means I have been on the hunt for some key pieces.

If you're sitting there nodding your head in agreement, then just know you're not alone, and lucky for us, there are a bunch of end-of-season sales going on right now, making it the perfect time to stock up.

Coats and jackets

Minima Esenciales Desi Wool Blazer, was $320, now $256

Save 20% here

Whether you're a corporate worker or just love the aesthetic of blazers, I think this is one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe.

This 100 per cent wool blazer from Minima Esenciales will keep you looking stylish and feeling cosy all winter long.

Asos Design Funnel Neck Longline Formal Trench Coat, was $147, now $132.30

Save 10% here

Our friends over in the northern hemisphere are just moving out of winter, which means, naturally, most of what they wore will set the tone for brands releasing winter collections here in Australia.

Funnel necks absolutely dominated the fashion scene, and for good reason, too, because not only do they look incredibly chic, but they provide extra warmth for your neck on those especially chilly days.

SO when I spotted this funnel neck trench from Asos on sale, it felt like a no-brainer, because this is something you'll wear over and over again.

Knits

Topshop Knitted Oversized Stripe Jumper, was $105, now $94.50

Save 10% here

Perfect for lounging around at home, or throwing on with your favourite jeans, a cosy sweater is an essential during the winter.

I am loving this Topshop Knitted Oversized Stripe Jumper in this natural colourway, which features a slouchy shape and drop shoulders.

Denim

Aere Mid Rise Barrel Leg Jeans, was $120, now $84

This Uniqlo Crew Neck Cardigan was my favourite layering hack last winter, because it is thin enough to wear underneath a shirt or blazer, keeping you warm without adding bulk.

Even at full price, Uniqlo is a go-to for all things affordable basics, so the fact that this is currently on sale for $29.90 is such a steal.
