5 Tu Clothing autumn pieces to buy before they sell out, according to a shopping expert
These stylish and affordable pieces are already flying off shelves. I'll be the first to admit that I love a good supermarket brand. Whether it's stylish homeware or unexpectedly chic clothing, British high street stores like George at Asda and F&F Clothing always come through. However, when it comes to trend-driven fashion at seriously affordable prices, my favourite by far is Tu Clothing. Tu Clothing consistently delivers on both style and price, and I'm all about shopping smarter. After all, why pay three times the price for something almost identical elsewhere? That just leaves you with more to spend on the things that really matter. And that doesn't mean Tu Clothing skimps on quality either. Case in point: a pair of £18 sandals I've lived in this summer could easily pass for designer (we're talking £300 vibes). And don't even get me started on my go-to denim joggers from the brand - I've worn them almost every week. Jeans that feel like joggers? Genius. I will never stop raving about them (they've just released a new pair here). Browse new-in Tu Clothing Browse Tu's denim collection So, you can imagine how excited I was when Tu Clothing dropped their new denim collection, along with some super on-trend 2025 autumn pieces. I was first to the checkout and had everything delivered ASAP so I could report back on what's actually worth buying (spoiler: nothing disappointed). Here are the fashionable finds I think you'll be glad you snapped up - and I have a feeling some of them are going to sell out quickly. ✨ Indigo Denim Midaxi Dress, £28 ✨ Shop now Do I need another denim dress? Absolutely not. However, a denim dress is my go-to when I don't know what else to wear but still want to look cool and effortless. This one really does tick all the boxes, from its midi length to the half button-up design (the fewer buttons, the better in my eyes) and the coordinating belt that lets you cinch in your waist as much or as little as you like. It's also a bargain £28! A similar design I had my eye on at Whistles is a whopping £149 and the Tu Clothing design seems even better, as it has thoughtful features like the side pockets, back pockets (yes, you can never have too many pockets), and a slit that makes it easy to move. It also gets a massive plus for being made from super-stretchy denim, it's not stiff at all and feels soft on the skin. It's already selling out in sizes, and I think it'll definitely be one of the first items to go. Honestly, I can't think of a single reason you'd regret buying it. ✨ Mid Denim Studded Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans, £26 ✨ Shop the blouse Shop the jeans If you really want to upgrade your jeans this autumn, an on-trend addition is a pair of studded jeans. Now, this is actually way more chic than you might think. What I loved about these is the straight-leg design, which is super relaxed and versatile. I went for the regular length (I'm 5'5'), but they also come in short and long options. The mid-wash is the perfect shade of denim, and the stud detailing makes them look incredibly expensive while adding that extra something to your outfits. A very similar pair by a high-end brand retails for over £200, so these are a real bargain! They also haven't skimped on the studs, they run down the seams and over the pockets, giving them a luxe feel. They're also made from 99% cotton (yes, really, at that price), which makes them soft, stretchy, and honestly, you don't even feel like you're wearing jeans. Absolute 10/10. I paired them with a brand-new blouse, also from Tu Clothing, which is a total showstopper with its floral embroidery and blouson sleeves (£22.50 and selling out fast - it also comes in navy). While I finished the look with a simple pair of silver pumps for a more casual vibe, these jeans will no doubt come in handy over the festive period too - just add some sequin accessories and a silver top for a casual, party-ready outfit. ✨ Denim Waist Panel Midaxi Skirt, £22.50 ✨ Shop the cardigan Shop the skirt Finally, denim midi skirts have been making a major fashion comeback over the past few years. While the trend immediately reminded me of my mum and her Per Una denim skirt in the '90s, I've slowly come around to the idea of trying one myself, although I struggled to find a style that felt flattering and didn't look frumpy. So, when I saw this drop-hem skirt (another big silhouette trend for autumn 2025), it felt like I'd finally found a winner, especially since a similar style at Boden is £99 and almost sold out in every size. I just love the shape this skirt gives me and it's super swishy and elegant to wear, thanks to the full pleated skirt. A denim skirt also has serious styling versatility - you can wear it with boots, trainers, blazers, tucked-in knits and more - the outfit options are endless. It's definitely a worthy addition to your wardrobe and is bound to pay for itself in cost-per-wear in no time. I paired it with Tu's Soft Knit Crew Neck Cardigan in a very on-trend deep burgundy hue. It's only £18 and also comes in grey, beige, and pink. The fabric is super soft, making it a great layering piece for autumn. Plus, you wear it buttoned up or left open over a T-shirt for a more casual look. 🛍️ More denim styles from Tu Clothing 🛍️

Fairs have a long history at Chilhowee Park, but it was amusement hub even earlier
Even before it became home to the Tennessee Valley Fair, Chilhowee Park was a top amusement destination in Knoxville. Since 1887, the park has attracted visitors with its options for recreation, from live music to fishing to walks around the grounds − and in later years, roller coasters and a playground. The many decades of fun since are thanks to F.C. Beaman, who opened the park in the late 19th century, a move met with tremendous excitement from many Knoxvillians. Back then, it was called Beaman's Park and had a lake, dancing pavilion and refreshment stands, the Journal and Tribune reported in 1887. In those early days, the lake was called Lake Ottosee (get it?), which had a resurgence later on, but around the turn of the century, it was called Chilhowee Lake, which soon became Chilhowee Park. Chilhowee Park's first fairs In 1910, Chilhowee Park was the site of the Appalachian Exposition, a month-long spectacle visited by 350,000 people. The event featured pyrotechnic displays, blimp rides and dog shows. An extravagant stucco building was constructed, President Theodore Roosevelt attended, and not far from the fairgrounds, some lucky visitors witnessed East Tennessee's first plane flight. Another Appalachian Exposition was held the following year, and in 1913, the National Conservation Exposition was held at Chilhowee Park. The first version of the Tennessee Valley Fair, called the East Tennessee Division Fair, was held at the park in 1916, according to the website for today's fair. Chilhowee Park in the early 20th century As early as 1915, Chilhowee was called "The South's Most Delightful Amusement Park," charging 10 cents for entry and boasting attractions such as boating, swimming, dancing, roller coaster rides, concerts, moving pictures and a merry-go-round, according to an ad in the Journal and Tribune that year. In 1921, the park gained an "airplane swing" and a new merry-go-round. That same year, the park was purchased by Col. J. G. Sterchi, who sold the park to the city in 1926 for $100,000, the Knoxville Journal reported that year. Between 1939 and 1948, the Eighth of August, a day in East Tennessee that commemorates Black freedom, was celebrated at Chilhowee Park and was the only day out of the year that Black residents were allowed to use the park. In 1938, the park's main building that had been constructed for the 1910 Appalachian Exposition was destroyed in a fiery blaze. A replacement was completed in 1941 and dubbed the Jacob Building in 1954 after veterinarian and former College of Agriculture Dean Moses Jacob, who was at one time president of the fair. This year marks the 105th Tennessee Valley Fair, which will run Sept. 5-14. Hayden Dunbar is the storyteller reporter.

Today in Chicago History: The Beatles play two shows at Comiskey Park, and scarcely a note was heard
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on Aug. 20, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Weather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) How George Halas' columns for the Chicago Tribune, a field goal and a charity game helped the Chicago Bears prove their legitimacy in 19351948: The National League champion Chicago Cardinals beat the College All-Stars 28-0 in front of 101,220 fans at Soldier Field. Chicago White Sox pitchers have thrown 20 no-hitters since 1902 — including 3 perfect games. Relive them all here.1957: Bob Keegan — at 37 — became the oldest player to throw a no-hitter for the Chicago White Sox. The Sox beat the Washington Senators 6-0 in the second game of a doubleheader at Comiskey Park. 1961: The international press called it 'a stunning upset.' Three American teenagers scored a Wightman Cup victory at Saddle & Cycle Club over veteran British tennis stars Ann Haydon, Cristine Truman, Angela Mortimer and Deidre Catt. Billie Jean King on today's tennis, the media and a new play at Chicago Shakespeare about her lifeThe American teens were Karen Hantze and Justina Bricka, both 18, and bouncy 17-year-old Billie Jean Moffitt, who spurred on her own game by muttering 'Come on, baby' to herself. Moffitt later played under her married name, King. The American teens had lost to the same Britons at Wimbledon earlier in the year. They said that playing the established British stars before huge crowds helped them gain experience and confidence for the Wightman matches in Chicago. 1965: After arriving quietly at Chicago's Midway Airport, the Beatles played a day-night doubleheader at Comiskey Park. More than 50,000 incessantly screaming fans drowned out the Beatles during the 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. shows. John Lennon, then 24, was not annoyed. 'They pay good prices to get in (top tickets, $5.50). Who are we to say whether or not they should scream?' A solid line of officers sat shoulder to shoulder, with their backs to the infield, to prevent teens from taking second base, where the Beatles performed on a plywood bandstand. Paul McCartney singing 'I'm Down' pumped up the volume of the screamfest. Based on that alone, Tribune reviewer Will Leonard surmised that this was 'easily the artistic success of the evening.' The take at the Comiskey gate was an estimated $150,000 to $160,000, compared with the year before at the Chicago Amphitheatre, when the Beatles had a reported $30,000 in ticket sales. After the concert the Beatles stopped at Margie's Candies in Bucktown for ice cream, recalled owner Peter Poulos Jr. 'They sat at the back booth and ordered Atomic Busters (banana splits standing up). They began singing, John was standing on the table. The place was packed. They stayed about an hour.' 1976: Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla led a group of bishops on a tour of the United States that included Chicago. He returned in October 1979 — then known as Pope John Paul II. 2014: The Chicago Cubs won 2-0 over the San Francisco Giants after 4½ innings and a 4-hour, 34-minute rain delay when the grounds crew mishandled the tarp. The Giants appealed the ruling, won, but lost 2-1 a day later.
