Tesco's copycat waterproof is selling for £30 less than John Lewis – it's stylish, hooded & perfect for festival season
Tesco made a major change to F&F clothing in May BY GEORGE! Tesco's copycat waterproof is selling for £30 less than John Lewis – it's stylish, hooded & perfect for festival season Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TESCO shoppers are racing to bag a stylish waterproof jacket that looks just like a designer version from John Lewis - but for £30 less. The hooded coat is perfect for festival season, keeping you dry without skimping on style. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Tesco's take on the waterproof makes the supermarket a no-brainer for bargain hunters who still want to stay stylish in the rain Credit: Tesco Rain or shine, it's the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe - without the posh price tag. PRODUCT DETAILS This shower-resistant poncho is built for Britain's unpredictable weather – with a buttoned front and elasticated cuffs to keep you dry on the go. The longline fit adds extra coverage and style, making it the perfect throw-on for festivals, park days or last-minute dashes to the shop. It's lightweight, packs down easily, and gives major high-street vibes without the hefty price tag. With its A-line shape and floaty sleeves, this water-resistant cape doesn't just keep you dry – it looks good doing it. The popper fastenings make it easy to throw on in a downpour, and it's 100% polyester and machine washable. It comes in classic black or on-trend khaki – and it's a steal at just £17. Festival-proof, fashion-forward and budget-friendly – what's not to love? I'm a size 14 and did the best Tesco summer haul - run before new co-ord sells out HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO DESIGNERS John Lewis has a near-identical cape in navy – though it'll set you back £47. That's £30 more than Tesco's take, making the supermarket steal a no-brainer for bargain hunters who still want to stay stylish in the rain. Tesco's cape is made from polyester, while John Lewis uses nylon – but when it comes to keeping dry, both do the job. Polyester offers a lightweight, breathable feel, while nylon is known for being a touch more durable. But at a massive £30 less, Tesco's version still comes out on top for style and savings. ONLINE CHANGE Tesco made a major change to F&F clothing in May. The UK's biggest supermarket has officially re-launched the clothing brand online for the first time in seven years. Shoppers were first able to buy the F&F range on a separate site from 2009 before it was moved onto Tesco Direct in 2016. However, it was ditched in 2018. Customers could still buy items from the collection through Next until this January, until it stopped stocking the range. Tesco shoppers can now pick up F&F-branded clothes via and the supermarket's Grocery and Clubcard app. If you don't have the app you can download it for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The collection includes women's, men's and kids' clothing, as well as footwear and accessories. Shoppers looking to pick up F&F items online will have to pay a £3.99 home delivery fee on all orders. How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco.

Prince George's 'specific dietary request' sees Royal superyacht tender return to mainland
Young Prince George reportedly requested a 'specific dietary item' while sailing with his family between Greek islands Prince William and Kate Middleton's family holiday yachting in the idyllic Greek islands supposedly had an un-royal food request from Prince George. During the family's sailing holiday on a superyacht last month, the future king's eldest son reportedly had a specific dietary request from a particular restaurant on a Greek island. This very particular request was made as the royals left Kefalonia and were sailing south towards Zakynthos, before making a stop in the middle of the Ionian Sea. One of the tender boats was dispatched on a mission to pick up a meal possibly from a famous fast food restaurant for the young prince. It comes after Princess Charlotte sparks frenzy with behind-the-scenes photos from Lionesses' win. A member of the superyacht crew was reportedly dispatched out for a "specific dietary item" not available on the superyacht. A tight-lipped source revealed why one of the tender heads travelled back to the mainland, according to the MailOnline. They said: "George required a specific dietary item which led to the tender going ashore in Zakynthos to purchase it. Nothing extravagant, just something particular." This source did not reveal exactly what was picked up for the prince but Zakynthos is one of the few Greek islands to have a McDonald's on the mainland. The young royal could have ditched the luxury meals on the superyacht for a Big Mac or chicken nuggets and fries. While it is not clear what Prince George's specific request was, some of the royals have been known to enjoy some fast food favourites most people also dig into. Princess Diana was known to sometimes give Prince William and Prince Harry KFC and burgers when they were growing up. Some of Prince George's favourite meals have been revealed in the past, as celebrity chef Aldo Zilli let slip what the young royal's top dinner picks were after a chat with dad Prince William. Zilli shared: "[William's] amazing - I'm waiting for the call because apparently his little boy's favourite is spaghetti carbonara, so I'm waiting for the call to go and cook it for him." The chef added: "If George has my carbonara, he will never have another one, so I need to go and make it, let's get the ball rolling, send me to the palace to cook." It's not just spaghetti carbonara that tickles Prince George's taste buds, the Princess of Wales has said that he and Princess Charlotte enjoy making a 'cheesy pasta' together at home, reports the Express. In February 2019, Princess Kate, 42, visited a school in Enfield, north London, and spoke to Ivy Learning Trust's chief executive Matthew Kleiner-Mann. He said: "She was telling us how much her children love cooking and how they cook for her. "They made cheesy pasta the other day. One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in. And they make salads and stuff."
