1. Spring Item Sale Late April ~ The beginning of Golden Week
Spring bargains are not held very extensively, but it is likely to be held from late April to around the Golden Week. Items such as spring clothes jackets and cut sews are also active in autumn. In addition, I do recommend you to buy clothes at this season because the clothes can be worn the whole year. The trick is not to choose the color that feels like “spring !!!”. If you buy a basic color such as white it can be used for a long time.
2. Summer sale from early July to August
The presale started from the middle of June, the main bargain sale from the beginning of July, and the clearance sale from the last week. It is very happy to us because the sale will begin in July when summer starts. Recently, the timing of the bargain sale may be delayed due to the influence that the summertime has become longer, but let’s get the summer items quickly when the bargain begins. What you should buy is a “standard product” that you can use now and the next year because standard items are not influenced by trends. Clever! By the way, do not forget to prevent from buying the spring items because it is cheap now and you will think that you can use it next spring.
3. Autumn sale from late October to November
The same with the spring sale, bargain sale in falls sometimes is held and sometimes is not. If there is a bargain in the fall, it is lucky. It seems that there are many shops making sale until the end of late October (around November).
About autumn clothes, there are many items that can be used until winter, so in some cases, it may be worn for a long time. In addition, there is also outerwear that can be worn in early spring, so it is also recommended to purchase it for spring use.
4. Winter sale from the beginning of December to January
Finally, the bargain sale in winter which can be said as the main feature of the bargain sale starts early in December. Presale in the beginning, grand sale in the middle, clearance sale right after Christmas. And as soon as the year passes, the New Year sale will be held soon, and it will be held for a long period until the end of January.
However, the same with the bargain sale in summer, the amount of do-not-sale-this-year shops are increased recently. Nonetheless, even if you purchase winter clothes at the sale in January, you should be able to continue to wear thereafter. Also, since winter items are really expensive, those items are what you would like to get at the best sale time. There are many things that can be worn regardless of trends, such as coats and boots with simple designs, it is such a great merit that you can use it for a long time even if you buy it with the reasonable price.
