Several members of the woman&home team and I were lucky enough to spend a day at Royal Ascot just recently, and we asked lots of glamorous racegoers what they were wearing. Everyone looked so sophisticated, and the answer we heard more than any other was "it's from Phase Eight!"
Good news, then, if you've got an event coming up soon, because the Phase Eight up to 60% off sale is in full swing, and I'm genuinely astonished at the bargains that are on offer. I've got chic jumpsuits, heatwave-friendly linen, wedding guest-ready dresses, shoes you can dance the night away in and even hats on my wishlist. Happy shopping...
Phase Eight sale - now on
My top tips for navigating the Phase Eight sale? The British clothing brand is famous for its well-fitting jumpsuits and polished dresses, so I'd start there. Sizes range from UK 6 to 20, and there are often petite options available, too. Filters are your friend when it comes to sale shopping - there's nothing worse than falling in love with a style only to find they don't have your size!
Phase Eight sale: dresses and jumpsuits
Lorraine Kelly wore this eye-catching pink dress to Wimbledon, and it's just gone into the sale. The zip front and belted waist mean you can adjust it to fit, plus Lorraine has also worn it in orange, so it's clearly a favourite.
This is such a pretty floral print dress, and the raffia belt gives it a very modern feel. The V-neck and floaty sleeves mean you can happily still wear your best bra underneath.
The cornflower blue hue of this dress is so pretty, plus it's 100% cotton which will be really breathable during a heatwave.
I wore this dress to Royal Ascot this year, and I love how the pleated skirt moves when you walk. If you prefer more minimalist occasionwear, this one's for you.
Pastels are one of the biggest fashion colour trends 2026, and this flattering frill front dress is a great way to lean in. It's a linen blend fabric, making it perfect for sunny days, and it's available in regular or petite lengths.
All I want to wear in the hot weather is easy midi dresses, and this one fits the bill perfectly. It's a great base for any outfit, and the cut is incredibly flattering.
I normally struggle to find jumpsuits that fit as I'm very pear-shaped, but Phase Eight always seems to get it right. The striking blue colour of this all-in-one is beautiful, and it's an entire outfit for only £55.
Looking for the most stylish summer dresses to hide a tummy? The tiered design, belted waist and eye-catching print all work together to boost your confidence. It's a breezy midi that you could pair with sandals or comfortable trainers.
Wondering what to wear to Wimbledon? This striped shirt dress is a fresh twist on Wimbledon whites, and will look so chic paired with tan leather accessories.
This stunning dress has a real Zimmermann feel. The buttons down the front make it look much more designer than high street, and the blouson sleeves are spot on for the hot weather.
Another genius jumpsuit, this style has got five-star reviews from customers. It boasts clever shirred detailing at the back, so you're guaranteed to get the perfect fit.
Another contender for Wimbledon if anyone's after a last-minute outfit, this jumpsuit is bound to sell out soon. Wear it with a raffia bag and wedges.
Phase Eight sale: tops, skirts and trousers
An ideal layer for cool evenings, this collarless design is a refreshingly modern take on the classic denim jacket. The light wash will work with any colours or prints.
The broderie detailing really elevates this cotton skirt, and it needs only a simple strappy top to look so stylish. It's got an effortless French feel to it.
A floral midi skirt is just about the most versatile thing you can add to your wardrobe. Pair it with a T-shirt in the summer months, swapping to boots and a chunky knit in autumn.
I've been shopping around for some linen trousers for weeks now, and these tick all the right boxes. Elastic waist, loose fit, machine washable? Perfect.
I live in linen shirts and matching shorts at this time of year, and the emerald colour of this co-ord is unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. With 40% off, the shirt is a great investment.
This looks like it should be designer, rather than high street. The puff sleeves, frill detailing and flattering V-neckline all work together to create a hourglass silhouette.
The perfect layer to drape over your shoulders when it gets a bit chilly on holiday, the classic colours of this jacket will blend seamlessly into your summer capsule wardrobe.
I spotted somebody wearing this at Royal Ascot, and was blown away when I learned it was from Phase Eight. Pair it with the matching top, which is currently reduced to £49 in the sale.
While you're buying fancy dresses and jumpsuits, don't forget to stock up on heatwave essentials, like these linen-blend trousers. One reviewer wrote: "The waist sits high and fits really well with strong elastic around the back. The pockets at the hips are of a useful size - neither too small nor too large! Excellent!"
Phase Eight sale: shoes
Where would we be without a wedge in the summer months? These suede espadrilles will quickly become a go-to, and the adjustable strap at the back makes them supremely comfortable.
Name a better combination than a midi dress and a pair of the best white trainers - I'll wait! These will stay box fresh for longer thanks to the wipe-clean leather. The blush suede accents are a subtly chic touch, too.
These canvas espadrilles will work hard in your wardrobe for years. They're so much friendlier on your feet than stiletto heels, so if you're heading to a wedding, these are well worth investing in.
Phase Eight sale: accessorises
I've been to Royal Ascot several times, and if you're not great with hats, my best advice is to find one you love and wear it over and over again. My Phase Eight boater fascinator comes with me every time now! The angle is just perfect, and it's really easy and comfortable to wear all day, making it perfect for a wedding.
This little beaded bag is now 60% off and it's the perfect size for all your essentials. One customer called it "beautifully made".
Who knew Phase Eight make such gorgeous jewellery? These chunky hoop are a style I can imagine the Princess of Wales wearing, and they will elevate any ensemble.
Certainly, it's hard to do in a heatwave, but if you're a really keen bargain hunter, one of the best things to do is shop out of season. If you can bear thinking about coats and jackets right now, you can find some amazing options in the Phase Eight sale.
