Reasons to shop supermarket fashion
When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg...
They're convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street.
It's affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn't look cheap.
They're more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply.
They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought.
Fashion fans beam
The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @ pia_gracesmith, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 128,000 views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 1,818 likes and 39 comments.
Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's Tesco haul and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'Love it all, you look amazing.'
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
Another added: 'Omg all of the outfits look amazing on you!'
A third commented: 'Adds everything to basket.'
Meanwhile, someone else claimed: ' Tesco clothing is on point this year.'

Experts pinpoint the most critical decade for your health... when damage can't be undone
Scientists have pinpointed the most important decade for your health. Smoking, drinking, and being inactive become entrenched in the decade between 36 and 46 and are harder to reverse, according to a new study. Each year a person continues an unhealthy habit, the damage is compounded, the researchers said. These habits gradually erode a person's metabolic and psychological health until they become part of a person's biology after 46. The study out of Finland showed that when a person reaches 30, each additional decade of risky behavior worsened their health through age 50 and beyond. 'Even a single risky behaviour increases the risk of premature death and diseases, but together with other health behaviours, the impact is cumulative,' the researchers concluded. 'Furthermore, the impact of these behaviours on health accumulates throughout a lifetime.' People who smoked, drank, and were physically inactive through their 20s saw few negative effects then, but those behaviors caught up with them, causing worse mental health, poorer self-rated health, and doubled metabolic risks such as high blood pressure, obesity, or diabetes by age their late-30s. Finnish researchers gathered patient data from a study spanning 1968 to 2021 on 369 people. Scientists calculated people's current risk scores based on how many risky behaviors they maintain currently, from zero behaviors (no risk) to three (the highest risk, i.e., smoking, drinking, and being physically inactive). A 36-year-old who smokes and drinks but also exercises would receive a two, while a 50-year-old who quit smoking but still drinks and doesn't exercise would get a score of one. They also looked beyond what behaviors a person has now. They looked at how many years a person maintained those harmful habits, known as the temporal risk score. People were told to count how many times they did each behavior at each age checkpoint – 27, 36, 42, 50, 61. Someone who smoked at 27, 36, and 42 but quit at 50, therefore, earned a temporal smoking score of three out of five. They concluded that people who currently have those risky behaviors had more depressive symptoms based on a scored 16-item questionnaire, higher metabolic risks measured by markers like high blood pressure, large waist, and low 'good' HDL cholesterol, lower psychological well-being based on a scored 18-question test, and worse self-rated health. People who had those behaviors now, as well as in decades previously, were even worse off. People who started smoking in their 20s and early 30s, as opposed to those who started in their 40s, were more than twice as likely to exhibit depression symptoms and psychological well-being scores that were 2.3 times worse. Similarly, people with metabolic risk factors early in life were twice as likely to experience chronic metabolic disorders compared to those who began experiencing those risk factors in middle age. Self-rated health among those with worse physical health early in life saw double the decline in self-rated health versus those who became more inactive in their 40s. Researchers said: 'Interestingly, the temporal accumulation of risky health behaviours was particularly associated with depressive symptoms in the present study. 'These results suggest that the accumulation of risky health behaviours over time may also be one of the important factors when preventing depressive symptoms and depression.' The study, published in the journal Annals of Medicine had several notable limitations, though. They could not establish that risky behaviors caused poor health, only that they are linked. Researchers also looked at a few risky behaviors while not considering several others, such as diet, sleep, or drug use. They also noted that the subjects were Finnish adults born in 1959, a population that may not reflect the United States. People may have also reported their health and habits through a rosier lens, concealing heavy drinking, misremembering bad habits, or not opening up about depressive symptoms, risking bias. Still, the study's 30-year longitudinal design and inclusion of several health outcomes, both physical and mental, provide rare and valuable insights into the effects of lifelong habits and whether humans can undo some of the damage. Smoking is tied to a laundry list of health problems, ranging from myriad cancers to chronic lung and breathing problems. Drinking excessively is known to cause severe liver damage that can prove life-threatening. And obesity is a leading risk factor for a range of chronic diseases. Health habits don't change much during middle adulthood, researchers said, becoming chronic concerns. Their findings stressed the importance of 'tackling risky health behaviours as early as possible' to keep these risks from piling up over the years, 'which can otherwise lead to poor mental well-being and health later in life.' The US is steeped in an epidemic of chronic diseases, such as cancers, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. An estimated 133 million Americans – approximately 40 percent of the US population – have at least one chronic illness. Obesity is the most common among them. Forty-two percent of Americans have it. Scientists have known for years that lifestyle choices and trauma early in life, particularly childhood, significantly impact one's health later in life. But the latest study breaks new ground by revealing that it's not just what you do, it's when and for how long you do it.

Kemi Badenoch accuses Starmer and Farage of 'fantasy economics'
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of indulging in "fantasy economics" over their approaches to welfare in the Daily Mail, Badenoch says both leaders believe in getting struggling taxpayers to "fund unlimited child support for others".Her commentary comes after the Labour government indicated that it was looking at the possibility of scrapping the two-child benefit said earlier this week that his party would also get rid of the policy and back more generous tax breaks for married people. Badenoch added the country could not "afford their fantasy economics" and that Britain deserved leaders who did not "treat economics like a branch of showbiz"."This week we have seen Labour and Reform in a race to the bottom to scrap the two-child benefit cap," she wrote."Starmer and Farage now believe in getting taxpayers - many of whom are struggling to raise their own children or choosing not to have them in the first place - to fund unlimited child support for others."The Conservatives have said the policy - which they introduced - of limiting means-tested benefits to just two children in most families should not be UK have pledged to remove the cap if they win power, but have not detailed how they would fund the billions it, and all their other pledges, would cost. In a speech this week, Farage said he wanted to lift the cap "not because we support a benefits culture" but because it would ease the burden on lower-paid Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said the government is looking at scrapping the two-child benefit cap but warned it would "cost a lot of money".Speaking on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show last week, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner refused to confirm whether the government would remove the has also grown from Labour backbenchers over the issue since the party's poor performance at the local elections earlier this attack comes after Farage said this week the Conservatives had become an "irrelevance".For his part, Sir Keir said the Conservatives had "run out of road", were in "decline" and "sliding into the abyss". Badenoch argued her party was now "the only major political party to take a serious look at the welfare state".

What happened to body positivity?
'There's lots of chat at the moment about #SkinnyTok,' Jenny Stevens, the Guardian's deputy features editor, tells Helen Pidd. 'The TikTok influencers, TikTok users, who are documenting their extreme weight-loss journeys. 'I've looked through that hashtag and I think, wow, some of these people are really, really unwell. And I think that there is a profit-seeking algorithm that is pushing that content into the feeds of young users.' Stevens explains why she is worried about the rise in weight-loss drugs, as someone who suffered from an eating disorder. 'I worry about them. And the wider media context, and their absolute fixation on who's taking them, who isn't, who's lost the weight, how they've lost the weight. Look at their bones jutting out … I worry about the effects of it on vulnerable people who are already suffering with disordered eating.' Also, we ask what a renewed fixation on thinness means for plus-size women? Gina Tonic, the author of Greedy Guts: Notes From an Insatiable Woman, talks about the origins of the body positivity movement and why it feels less visible than it did. 'I think Covid put health into the forefront of society's point of view as something that we really needed to prioritise for ourselves and also for our communities. And obviously, the first people to suffer under that kind of logic is people who are disabled, but also people who are seen as unhealthy, I guess, or willingly unhealthy. 'And fatness is automatically associated with being unhealthy and has been for decades. So it just feels like a natural follow-on with a public obsession with health, and the perception that thinness is health, thinness becomes the priority again for so many people,' says Tonic. You can listen to Jenny Stevens's Today in Focus episode on her own experiences, recorded in 2021, here.
