Next's lightweight raincoat is perfect for 'warmer days and light showers'
British summertime typically consists of sunshine and showers. It can be hard to know what to wear, with this week alone being cold and wet in the mornings, before turning sunny in the afternoons.
One way to dress for the weather is to opt for a waterproof coat. These coats are lightweight, ensuring wearers don't overheat, and thanks to the thinner material, they can be folded up and put in a bag quite easily.
Next's latest Resistant Lightweight Jacket is earning praise from shoppers for these reasons. Buyers have praised the lightweight material for its practicality.

The crinkle-material Resistant Lightweight Jacket is priced at £62 and available in black or sage hues. One purchase described it as a 'lovely lightweight coat for warmer days and light showers' in the comments. The jacket is quarter-length and has a hood.
It also has a zip down the centre, poppers and pockets on either side. The model in the black coat pairs it with jeans, a leopard-print top, and boots, while the model wearing the sage colour opts for blue leggings and a cream top. The black coat is available in sizes 6-24, and the sage one is available in sizes 6-22.

I lost 4st on Mounjaro but I'm trolled for still eating pizza smothered in chips, cheese & curry sauce – I won't change
AN influencer says she's been trolled for still eating her favourite pizza, smothered in chips, cheese and curry sauce. Thin-fluencers who drop a massive 4st on a weight-loss jab typically celebrate by showing off salads and smoothies but Chlo Mckernan is proudly tucking into Scotland 's most outrageous takeaway instead. 2 The Scottish TikToker, who's shed 4 stone on Mounjaro, has gone viral again after revealing she's still demolishing her beloved 'pizza crunch pizza'. For the uninitiated, a 'pizza crunch' is a chip shop legend in Scotland, it's essentially a slice or half pizza dipped in batter, deep-fried until crisp, then often served as a 'supper' with chips. Chlo's twist is to add a mountain of cheese, then drench the lot in curry sauce for the ultimate carb coma.. While some viewers may be horrified, plenty were drooling in the comments. 'That looks amazing, I want one,' one fan gushed. Another admitted: 'Omg I've never seen this, it looks insane.' Chlo, who has over 35,000 followers, posted her creation on TikTok, saying: 'Some things Mounjaro can't change.' The clip shows her unwrapping the beast of a meal, molten cheese smothering a pile of chips, before pouring curry sauce over the lot. It's not the first time she's shown off her guilty pleasure. She says critics previously trolled her, predicting she'd pile the pounds back on in no time. I've lost nearly 6 stone in 9 months on fat jabs - trolls call me 'lazy' & say it's the 'easy way out' but I don't care But Chlo's having the last laugh, clapping back that she's kept the weight off for two months and isn't about to give up her favourite dinner. 'That won't stop just because I've used Mounjaro as a tool,' she told followers. 'I love my food and this is my fave.' Mounjaro, which is known as the King Kong of jabs, is now being prescribed on the NHS in the first anti-obesity rollout of its kind. It is said to suppress the appetite, making people feel fuller for longer. Such injections are licensed for patients with type 2 diabetes and to assist those who are clinically obese - with a Body Mass Index of 30 or over. One jab is administered each week but the duration is dependent on a person's weight. The reality of Mounjaro Although many have boasted about weight loss success since using Mounjaro, last year it was revealed that Scots nurse Susan McGowan, 58, died after taking low-dose injections of Mounjaro over a fortnight. A probe also found that nearly 400 people have gone to hospital after taking weight loss drugs. The common side effects include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, which can lead to severe dehydration. And if that wasn't bad enough, doctors say they have also seen 'life-threatening complications', including seizures, bowel obstruction and inflammation of the pancreas. Model Lottie Moss, 27, even said she had a seizure after taking high doses of Ozempic. The makers of Mounjaro, Lilly UK, said patient safety is its 'top priority'. Lilly UK stressed: 'Regulatory agencies conduct extensive independent assessments of the benefits and risks of every new medicine and Lilly is committed to continually monitoring, evaluating, and reporting safety data. 'If anyone is experiencing side effects when taking any Lilly medicine, they should talk to their doctor or other healthcare professional.' Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.

This Morning's Emma Willis wears on sale tailored waistcoat from Kate Middleton-loved brand
This Morning's Emma Willis nails smart tailoring in a mint green waistcoat from a Kate Middleton-approved brand, and the exact style is now in the sale If there's one thing Emma Willis never misses, it's a chic on-screen outfit, and her latest This Morning look is no exception. The presenter stepped out in a perfectly tailored mint green waistcoat from ME+EM, the luxury British label that's also a favourite of Kate Middleton. Known for its sleek tailoring, elevated basics, and versatile designs, ME+EM is a go-to for women who want elevated wardrobe staples that work for pretty much every occasion. And the best part? Emma's Lightweight Tailored Waistcoat is currently on sale. Normally priced at £195, this sorbet shade waistcoat is now £136.50, which is a huge 30% discount. With its fresh pastel tone, flattering tailored fit, and high-quality finish, it's one of those finds that can be worn for days in the office, at brunch with your friends, or dressed down with jeans. Whether you're already a ME+EM fan or looking to invest in your first piece from the brand, this is the perfect chance to snap up celebrity-approved style for less. Emma styled the waistcoat in her signature refined and androgynous way, pairing the piece with its matching trousers. The Wide-Leg Tailored Trouser are also on sale, for an even larger discount than the waistcoat. Down from £225, these trousers are now 50% off bringing their price down to £112.50. That means you can snag the entire outfit for £249 instead of its usual £420. Emma is has previously shared her love for ME + EM, and has been sporting the brand all week during her This Morning stint. Earlier, she was wearing a Parisian-inspired white and black pinstripe waistcoat and matching wide-leg trousers from the brand. And just yesterday, she was wearing the Me and Em Cotton Stripe Relaxed Forever Shirt, which co-host Joel Dommett joked gave 'Supply teacher vibes'. This shirt is low in stock, but our senior shopping writer, Faith, has found a £36 alternative that looks just as good. The shirt in question is the Stripe Oversized Shirt from Anthology. Faith says: "Just like Emma's, my Anthology shirt is a beautiful pale blue colour with contrasting white stripes, although mine also has slim black stripes running down the centre of each white one, giving it some added contrast. It has an oversized fit with a classic collared neckline and button-fastened cuffs for that traditional menswear-inspired look.I took my usual size and it fit perfectly, with a relaxed fit that's still flattering and doesn't overwhelm you."
