Fearne Cotton stuns in retro-chic corduroy suits from Joanie
The vintage fashion queen is serving outfit inspo in Joanie's cord sets - and we're obsessed
Ever since she graced our screens in the '90s as a children's TV presenter, Fearne Cotton has become a staple in British pop culture - not just as a broadcaster and author, but as a bona fida style icon. Known for her effortless blend of retro and modern styles, Fearne's wardrobe is a constant source of inspiration for vintage lovers everywhere.
And recently, she served up double the fashion inspiration, stepping out in two bold corduroy suits from Joanie. Fearne wore the Jarvis cord suit in both teal and rust orange, proving that when it comes to fashion, more is more.
Sold as separates, the tailored trousers (£69) and double-breasted blazer (£99) are crafted from soft organic cotton with added stretch for all-day comfort. The blazer features oversized buttons and a timeless shape, while the trousers offer flattering flared legs, belt loops and slant pockets.
The star gave each suit its own unique twist. With the rust orange, Fearne added edge with a graphic tee and pointed black boots. For the teal suit, she kept the look fresh and playful with shiny green boots that added just the right amount of contrast.

Product Description
To channel Fearne's effortlessly cool aesthetic, pair the suit with a vintage band tee or bold printed top. Or keep it classic with a crisp white shirt underneath and add loafers or heeled boots for a polished weekday look.
Don't be afraid to break up the suit, either. Try the trousers with a chunky knit or the blazer with a midi dress for a casual yet chic look. Accessories-wise, think oversized sunglasses, a slouchy leather tote or a printed scarf tied at the neck.
For those who aren't fans of corduroy, there are plenty of other matching suits available. We love this striped River Island set, featuring a striped linen-blend waistcoat and matching trousers, available for £39 and £36, respectively.
Otherwise, Nobody's Child has a gorgeous tailored suit range to explore. There are a wealth of colours to consider, from butter yellow to pastel pink, but we've got our eye on this timeless gingham print for a spring-ready outfit.
Back to Joanie, there aren't many reviews online. But one person who bought the teal trousers said: "I love these trousers so much. It is so comfy and smart, and I love this teal colour. I bought a size 18. They're a good fit."
However, another shopper with the rust orange trousers had a couple of issues: "Nice retro design but didn't suit me. I was hoping they would be a bit looser fitting in the legs.
"The design is more 90s bootleg than 70s flare. I found them a bit too clingy and revealing around the bum - unfortunately, the design doesn't work without a thong, which I hate wearing. Fabric is nice, though."
Still, with two colours to choose from and endless styling potential, this cord suit is a winner—and we've got Fearne to thank for the inspiration. The suits are available via Joanie here.

Nick's created a Headline Show Garden for BBC Gardeners' World Live later this month - with lots of Make a Metre Matter ideas to take home.

Currently Asda are selling courgette seeds for £2 - and you can get them in the ground now. 'You could choose to put acid compost in there and put four blueberries in there " he said. "Within your first harvest you've made your money back.' Advertisement 'Equally you could just sow some British native wildflowers, which could be as cheap as £2 to £3 for a packet. 'It will give you a brilliant long run of colour from May through to October, with lots of interest for pollinators.

In the first month you'll have about 10 species in the pond. "A year down the line you'll have 20 plus species and it just goes up and up and up.

Next £10 dress a 'game changer' for anyone who struggles in summer
With a fitted, strapless silhouette and midi length, these dresses offer the ultimate balance between minimalism and ease We've had some scorchers already this year, and summer hasn't even arrived yet. When the heat is relentless - and for me, that's basically anything above 17 degrees - I find getting dressed a real chore. As someone who adores fashion, I really struggle to find an outfit where I'm both comfortable and cool in the heat, but still look stylish - however, I might have just found the perfect solution at Next. And the best part? They're only a tenner. The high street retailer has released a three-pack of ribbed bandeau midi dresses for £30. Effortlessly cool, wallet-friendly and easy to style, frankly, they're a game changer for summer 2025. The retailer has released not one, but two colourways of its bandeau midi dress triple pack. There's a neutrals option boasting black, taupe and a black and white striped version of the dress, as well as a set that features grey, red and lime green for those who prefer to inject a little more colour into their wardrobe. With a fitted, strapless silhouette and midi length, these dresses offer the ultimate balance between minimalism and ease. Made from 95% cotton, with a little bit of stretch, they deliver a flattering, body-hugging feel while remaining breathable - a must when temperatures soar. Plus no straps means no tan lines, no fuss, and no extra heat. Coming in sizes 6-20, the ribbed cotton bandeau dresses that will carry you from a picnic in the park to rooftop drinks without breaking a sweat. As part of the deal, each one works out at £10 apiece. The only downside is that shoppers can't mix and match the dresses or buy them individually. By comparison, Primark's black bandeau mini dress - while a summer staple in its own right - retails at £14 for a single piece. It's shorter than the Next dress and is only available in two shades, and has less cotton in the composition (77%), blended with polyester. Not only does that make the Next version more cost-effective, but also arguably more versatile thanks to its added length and colour variety. It can be paired with flipflops for a day at the beach, trainers for a day exploring in the city, or dress it up with heels and a leather jacket for a balmy summer evening date night. Elsewhere, for those looking for something a little more premium for more formal occasions, the Butter Yellow Bandeau Felicity Midi Dress at Nobody's Child is a beautiful option for £89. But for everyday dressing, especially for those sensitive to the heat, Next's ribbed bandeau midi dress triple packs are a summer no-brainer. Shoppers can get both sets, bagging six dresses for £60. That's your summer wardrobe, sorted.
