Rules to Shop By: Experts Tell Us How to Get the Most Out of Sample Sales



Dress appropriately

Our experts pretty unanimously agreed (and we definitely sign off) on a sample sale uniform of leggings, a camisole, and shoes that are easy to take of (i.e. no laces).

Lila has one specific guideline of her own: “Don’t dress up in the designer’s past season merchandise.” And not because it’s ~lame~ like wearing a band’s t-shirt to their concert. “There are few things more confusing than wearing Manolos to a Manolo Blahnik sample sale. If you do, don’t be surpassed to find another person’s foot in your shoe when you’re busy trying on a prospective purchase.”

Sample Sally adds, “If I can, I try to bring a small bag and lightweight coat so I don’t have to check it in.”
