Renowned for creating fashion with timelessness and longevity at its core, it’s no surprise that Karen Millen counts Kate Middleton among its fans.
Refining fit and elevating form, Karen Millen’s designs are made to easily slot into your existing wardrobe and serve you season after season. Covering all bases, from the everyday to the uber-formal, there’s a little something for everyone (royalty included) amid KM’s online pages.
The brand biography to one side for a moment, let’s talk numbers. Just because it draws the royal eye does not mean that a purchase at Karen Millen is out of your budget. In fact, well over a thousand pieces are available online at up to 70 per cent off, with everything from summer staples to thick winter coats seeing major price cuts.

Plus, if you’re after another incentive, you can get an extra 20 per cent off the sale price when you enter the code ‘KMSALE20’ at checkout. Here’s my pick of the very best available right now at Karen Millen.
Karen Millen ruffle-trimmed knit dress
Dear reader, this knit dress may or may not have already made it into my basket. Simply put, I love everything about it; the colour, the asymmetry, the way the knit of the fabric adds a little heft that makes it fall just so – it’s great stuff. Plus, given its rich, khaki hue, this is a dress you can wear both throughout the summer and well into the transitional autumn months.
Karen Millen cable-knit tank top
I’m a sucker for a spot of cable knit. Complete with a foil finish, this sleeveless cable knit tank top from Karen Millen blends old-school heritage style with the label’s own contemporary edge. Plus, it just so happens to look great with jeans.
Karen Millen cotton cardigan
A light layer goes a long way in the summer (and beyond), and this Karen Millen model makes a particularly worthwhile investment thanks to its soft cotton knit fabric. Finished with a ribbed knit at the hem and cuffs, this pick is made elegant and versatile with its crisp colourway and refined structure.
Karen Millen denim shirt
Okay, it might seem mad to be thinking about putting on a denim shirt right now, but a good deal is a good deal, and this crisp cotton shirt (70 per cent off, FYI) is not something I’m willing to pass up on. Cut with a structured collar and relaxed silhouette, this dark-hued shirt straddles the worlds of casual and smart-casual, seeing you through the demands of your social calendar with ease.
Karen Millen floral maxi dress
Got a garden party or a summer wedding on the books? With a structured bodice, statement bow straps, and an expansive floral skirt, this flowing maxi dress makes for a sophisticated and modern take on classic femininity – one that, quite frankly, is hard to resist.
Karen Millen belted wide-leg trousers
Jeans, but not as you know them. Set apart by their flaring, wide-leg cut and thick, belted waist, this pair of denim trousers bring something a little different to the table, whilst maintaining the versatility of your go-to pair of jeans. A win-win.
Karen Millen corseted puffball dress
Well, this is another piece that has slipped into my own basket (oops). One of the more formal picks on this list, this taffeta puffball dress is suitable for anyone with a formal event in the diary, to even a modern bride looking for an affordable, contemporary pick. Just add strappy heels.
