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.

The chic frock is available in a wide range of sizes, from size six to size 22.
Fashion fans have also been raving about another F&F buy, the
'OH ME OH MY Pure Cotton Halter Neck Denim Dress'

According to Tesco bosses, the F&F buy is a 'retro-inspired addition to your summer collection".
Thrifty fashionistas can snap up this fabulous dress for just £22.50.

Asda knocks 30% off ‘very flattering' boho summer dress that was already an ‘absolute bargain'

SHOPPERS are in love with an an on-trend mini dress in Asda - and it's only £15. George is the supermarket's in-house fashion label and regularly delights fashion fans with its stylish buys at bargain prices. 2 The dress can be worn casual with sandals 2 It's a total bargain Recently, it's a sweet white broderie dress that is grabbing the attention of savvy shoppers. Its scalloped edges and embroidered design make this bargain dress look way more expensive than its original £22 pricetag - never mind its now £15 cost. It can be paired with flats or chunky sandals for a daytime look or dressed up with wedges and jewellery for the perfect holiday evening wear. So if you're in need of a versatile piece, then this is the one for you. READ MORE IN FABULOUS The white, short-sleeved mini dress is available in store and online, and comes in sizes 8 to 24. It's flattering style is made from 'lovely material' and is a 'great fit', according to buyers. And delighted shoppers have already been gushing about the pretty summer frock which they have hailed a star purchase. One said: "This dress is gorgeous.

Elsewhere in store, shoppers are going wild for a in that's "perfect in every way" and has you sorted for holiday or weddings. 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.

I had to wash my hair every day in summer but miracle £7 shampoo means it never gets greasy & is a beauty game-changer

WE all love when summer rolls around and we can finally enjoy being outside. But if you're anything like me, you'll struggle to keep your hair tamed in the heat. 2 Fabulous reporter Leanne Hall struggles to keep her hair clean in the summer Credit: Supplied 2 After one day out in the sun at a vineyard, my hair was left a greasy mess Credit: Leanne Hall Typically, the ends of my Unfortunately, this means that I end up having to But there are plenty of options to keep your hair from getting oily as quickly, so I decided to put them to the test. There is shampoo specifically dedicated for oily scalps, pre-shampoo treatments and hair refreshers to instantly banish grease. READ MORE ON HAIR HACKS So, with that being said, Fabulous Reporter Leanne Hall put them to the test to see which worked best. The Everyday-er The Kérastase Genesis duo is designed for those with normal to oily hair in mind. The shampoo has a nice lather to it and doesn't dry the hair out, making it perfect for regular use. I noticed my hair didn't get as greasy as quickly, but it's gentler than others I tried and didn't keep my hair grease-free for days. Most read in Fabulous The conditioner was also lovely and instantly detangled my hair and left it frizz-free. The only downside of this is the price, at £64 I can't say it's something I would rush to grab again. My hair's so thin you can see my scalp but miracle £8 buy fixes it in seconds When You're In Big Trouble There aren't many 'oily hair' shampoos that actually leave your scalp squeaky clean, but this one did not disappoint. After a particularly hot day outside, my hair looked practically wet from the grease so I figured it was the perfect time to test it out. I was stunned by how quickly this £15.50 shampoo got to work, before I even started my second wash, my scalp already felt fresh and clean. While this was effective and kept my hair oil-free for days, I can imagine this would be too harsh to use every hair wash day, so I'd recommend using it once a week or every fortnight as a detoxifying shampoo. The Extra Step Scalp care is a beauty trend we're all hearing more about these days and this product targets the scalp directly. The salicylic acid in this £15 scalp treatment helps to remove build-up from products and any dead skin flakes and balances oil level production on the scalp. I put this on my scalp after wetting my hair and let it sit for ten minutes. While washing it off, I felt my scalp was much fresher and it created the perfect clean surface to then apply my shampoo for the ultimate deep clean. One thing I noticed is that because this is a liquid product, it easily ended up getting into my mouth which wasn't pleasant. Hairstyles that are kind to your locks Loose Braids : Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage. Low Ponytail : A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging. Messy Bun : A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties. Soft Waves : Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools. Half-Up, Half-Down : This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp. Headbands and Scarves : Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable. Loose Plaits for Sleeping : Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight. Ultimate Refresher This dry shampoo is pricey at £25, but it's one of the best on the market. It's the perfect product for when you're hair is beyond greasy but you really can't be bothered to give t a wash. I applied it at a 20cm distance from my hair, focusing on the roots and left it to soak in for ten minutes before giving it a brush. It instantly absorbed all of the oil without leaving a gross sticky residue on my scalp. Not only did it get rid of the grease, it left my hair looking and smelling fresh for two more days. This is a must-have for any summer festivals, weekend breaks or on the go if you're not feeling a full wash routine. Prevention Taken This £17.99 scalp serum can be used daily on dry hair and while most serums have an oil to them, this one actually helps get rid of oil. I didn't see a dramatic change to my oil levels immediately, but I did find that the longer I used it, the less often I noticed my fringe going greasy and sticking to my forehead. One thing to be careful of is that using too much can make your roots feel heavy. THE WINNER Fresh For Days This Neutrogena shampoo turned out to be the best out of the bunch and the most cost-effective at just £6.99. It immediately made my hair feel less greasy, removed build-up and my hair didn't get greasy even in the summer heat for about four days, which is practically unheard of. While it is powerful at cleaning the scalp, it didn't dry it out and was relatively cheap too. This is perfect to use for every hair wash day during the summer and as a weekly deep clean in winter.
