Next's highly anticipated 'Mega Summer Sale' is now live, offering up to 50% off across clothing, homeware, and branded items. The Daily Record's fashion and beauty writer, Rachel Williams, visited her local store in Aberdeen's Bon Accord shopping centre and found a host of summer wardrobe must-haves for under £25.
Top Picks from the Sale
One of the standout items was a breezy blue and white stripe midi dress, reduced from £39 to just £17. Made from soft jersey fabric with a shirred body and comfortable waistline, it features handy pockets and is ideal for UK wear or holidays. Another favourite was the patterned midi wrap dress, now £21 down from £50, with a vibrant floral print and scalloped capped sleeves, perfect for brunch or a sunny beer garden.
Linen and Gingham Bargains
For those seeking linen, a printed mini dress is reduced from £40 to £20, offering breathable fabric and a versatile design suitable for sandals or heels. A retro-style brown gingham midi skirt, down from £49 to £24, also caught her eye, with a matching waistcoat available for £16 (down from £40). Both are made from linen, making them ideal for hot weather.
Evening Wear and Versatile Pieces
For formal occasions, a floral satin midi skirt was slashed from £46 to just £15.50. Its floaty material, high-shine finish, and elasticated waistband combine elegance with comfort. The burgundy colour also transitions well into autumn, adding versatility.
Rachel noted that the sale, which started on July 4, is still running with extensive stock in stores and online. She recommends browsing online before visiting to save time, as items may vary by branch. With temperatures in Scotland reaching 29°C, these summer essentials are timely and affordable.
