If You Want A Designer-Looking Summer Wardrobe on a High Street Budget, TK Maxx Is The Answer
Influencer-approved holiday style at prices us mere mortals can afford? No-one does it like TK Maxx.
Scrolling through my social feeds, I’m constantly greeted with holiday-related FOMO. Snapshots of dreamy Greek getaways, taken by influencers on their 6th retreat of the year so far. I obsessively tap to find out where their perfectly airy dresses or luxe sunglasses are from, only to be greeted by labels whose price tags cost the same as the flight itself. Crafting the kind of holiday wardrobe I lust after - one filled with elevated, timeless pieces that I'd want to revisit year after year - often feels impossible. But, hey, I'm a Fashion Editor and where there's a will, there's a way.
I'll let you in on my best-kept secret: TK Maxx. Known for offering up to 60% off RRP all year round, I find that TK Maxx is especially impressive when it comes to holiday shopping.
One scroll through its new arrivals, and you'll see that its full of all the holiday heroes you need to take the style out the sunshine season. Think chic holiday dresses perfect for lazy café lunches, statement sunglasses ideal for people-watching in busy town squares, bikinis that will turn heads on sandy beaches, and elegant kaftans versatile enough for spontaneous sunset cocktails. But it's TK Maxx's Gold Label that you really need to watch out for if you want to snag the ultimate influencer wardrobe - it's a sartorial goldmine.
This section is where you’ll find coveted pieces from high-end names and designer labels that would ordinarily be out of your price range. Whether it’s discovering up-and-coming labels or snatching up exciting gems from catwalk brands, this is the place to find an iconic designer dress from seasons gone by, a show-stopping blouse from the current collection and recognisable designer shoes at a whopping 60% less than usual.
