The chic £30 George at Asda jacket perfect for layering and other transitional fashion pieces that look good all year round
Summer has arrived, but we're not ditching our jackets and boots quite yet. As is customary for the UK, the weather is still unpredictable – with scorching hot sunshine one minute and frigid winds the next.
The best way to plan for all occasions? Invest in some transitional pieces that can be layered, mixed and matched with other pieces to make them appropriate whatever the weather. Think light jackets over knitted dresses, chunky boots with skirts, or floaty dresses with long sleeves. These can all be repurposed by pairing with winter pieces in colder months – meaning you don't have to update your entire wardrobe each season.
If you're not sure where to start, read on for YOU Magazine fashion director Sophie Dearden-Howell' s top outerwear picks that will have you covered, no matter what the ever-changing UK weather throws your way.

The £30 Ozempic swimsuit that takes 10lbs off your tummy – here one woman tries it
IF the thought of wriggling back into your swimsuit fills you with dread, you're far from alone. According to new research from lingerie and swimwear brand Pour Moi, only seven per cent of women feel fully fabulous stepping out in their cossies. Just seven. The rest of us? We're artfully draped in sarongs, in tent shaped cover-ups or doing that frantic towel dance by the pool in a bid to stay incognito. Because let's be honest, hauling last summer's swimwear from the bottom drawer rarely feels good. That magical tummy control? Stretched beyond salvation. The 'statement colour'? More like a fading memory, now tinged with SPF smears and fake tan mishaps. Then comes the dreaded try-on. You catch a glimpse in the mirror and bam - any flicker of body confidence evaporates faster than your iced rosé in a midday heatwave. But here's the thing, it's not just you. We've all had the mirror moment. We've all sworn under our breath in badly lit changing rooms. And we've all wished, more than once, that swimwear came with built-in courage. But those dreams could become a reality. Whilst on the search for swimwear this year, I turned my attention to TikTok which, like it or not, is a good barometer for consumer style reviews. The first one I stumbled-scrolled upon was a brand called Cupshe. A top selling American swimwear brand that does ship to the UK and is available on Amazon. So far, so good. Primark drops brand new collection of bikinis in gingham, floral and colour block designs - and they'll set you back just £2.50 per piece Cupshe is a brand that on the surface sounds like every other swimwear brand with words like 'empower', 'inspire' and 'support'. But the brand's Slim & Sculpt swimsuit caught my eye. A viral clip racking up millions of views featuring three women, all different in shapes and sizes, slip into the same figure-loving cossie. The secret? A corset-style lace-up back that cinches in all the right places, giving each of them an envy-inducing hourglass shape. In the comments section one fan of the swimwear gushed: 'These make you feel SO confident – and that speaks volumes!' Another said: 'Just got mine and I can't believe how good it looks.' I'm immediately sold - but I need to see it in the flesh. Available for £27.99 on Amazon in six different colours, I recruited size 14, make-up artist and mum-of-one Michelle Court, 41, from Rochford, Essex, to test out this miracle swimsuit. 'Every time it comes to going on holiday I get a new cossie,' says Michelle. 'I used to be a bikini Queen and never think of pulling on a one-piece, but after a baby my confidence to show off my body has dwindled. 'These days I love a swimsuit for holding everything in. 'When I'm looking for my new holiday swimsuit I always try to hunt for one with a really good shape that flatters my figure, doesn't dig in too much and one that keeps everything in its place.' Medium is the corresponding Cupshe size for Michelle's UK dress size but out of the packet, the cossie looks rather small. We both agree it might be a struggle to get it on. But two minutes later Michelle is out of the dressing room in the red lycra number and looks like she's ready to run in slow motion down the beach. So far, so Baywatch. 5 'I look like the Special K Lady,' says Michelle. 'It's like I've been on weight loss injections! ' She was right, this swimsuit completely showcased her figure - and not a fat jab in sight. I was dubious as to whether swimwear can really be that transformative but from seeing Michelle in a thousand-wash beige costume that had zero bust support or elasticity, the change was undeniable. She said: 'It really does hold you in, like, cinches in everywhere - not like that old one from the loft.' 'Its got amazing bust support, it feels like someone has just come in behind me and lifted me - and lifted everything. 'I feel way more confident than I do in my usual costumes.' Made from 92 per cent polyester and 8 per cent Spandex the swimming costume does the nipping and tucking with its fabric, but the real magic comes from the corsetry at the back. You can tie it as loosely or as tight as you like to take inches off your waist and it really, really works. And at the back the suit also gives great bum coverage, unlike many high street swimsuits that are barely bigger than a thong at the back. Michelle said: 'Honestly, I love it. It's a 10/10 swimsuit… Can I take it home?'

This Prada-inspired tote costs just £20 - plus the best other beach bags on the high street
If you're a celebrity, style influencer or fashion editor, there's only one summer bag to be seen with: Prada's crochet tote, which has achieved cult status over the past few years. It costs an astonishing £1,500, despite it's extremely simple design (basically just a rectangular-shaped raffia-effect bag with a logo on). However luckily, there are plenty of totes with similar vibes on the high street. Straw Tote Bag £19.99 Shop Take H&M's tote for example, which has a similar shape to Prada's bag, as well as the same straw colour combined with black printed logo (admittedly saying 'Amour Paris' not 'Prada', but you do save £1,480 in foregoing the branding). It's a good size for your towel, book and sunglasses case, and would go with pretty much any outfit, which is handy when you don't want to lug a whole load of options on holiday with you. What's more, it's only £19.99 – which leaves you some spare cash for those poolside Aperol spritzes. Of course, the high street is awash with excellent baskets and beach bags at the moment. Key trends include huge, oversized bags (perfect if you have a family in tow), deckchair-like retro stripes and endless raffia and crochet options. Okay, so we might not be able to swing a Prada bag from our shoulders like Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa, but we can still look very chic on holiday with these affordable offerings… Red And White Striped Tote Bag £49 Shop Khaki Green Straw Shoulder Bag £34 Shop The Island Hopper Tote Bag South Beach £24 Shop Raffia Tote Bag £32 Shop Tan Here Comes The Sun Woven Straw Beach Bag £22 Shop George at Asda Neutral Zoelle Straw Tote Bag Whistles £109 Shop Off White Striped Slouchy Canvas Tote Shopper Bag £15.99 Shop New Look Raffia Oversized Tote Bag £90 Shop Hush A&P Hero Tote £44 Shop Ace & Prince
