"And do you know how I know that? "Because we get donated about 500 of them. Every year." Meg said it wasn't just during the festive period either, the circulation of unused cheese boards and fancy cheese knives was constant all year. And to make it worse, the shops can't even sell them "We can't even put them out because we can't have sharps in the shop," she explained. She also shared another item charity shops were sick of seeing - elephant trousers. "Those stupid f**king elephant trousers that everyone wears when they go travelling around Asia," she said. "I don't want to see them anymore. Okay? I understand it's fun when you're out there, but why are you bringing them home?" Meg asked what was the point in buying something you know you won't wear when you get home, warning people to 'stop frivolously buying s**t." 4 And these printed trousers always ended up in the store Credit: I hit the jackpot with a random £2 charity shop buy worth £115 The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @alottameg with over 1.2 million views and 133k likes.

Choose your area - As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated. Don't hang around - If you see something you like, buy it, as it'll likely be gone when you come back Look out for cut-off labels - Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn't sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes. Stay at home - While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won't get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you're looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.

How to dress like women from the most fashionable nation and recreate their summer looks – and it's not the UK or Spain
You can get the look with just one key item for £8.99 GREAT DANE How to dress like women from the most fashionable nation and recreate their summer looks – and it's not the UK or Spain Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCANDI style has influenced our homes with its minimalist but functional design, and now it's infiltrating our wardrobes. At the beginning of August, influencers and fashion editors flocked to stylish Copenhagen in their droves for Fashion Week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 14 Copenhagen fashion week has become one of the hottest events in the fashion schedule Credit: Getty 14 With no celebs in sight, fashion editors and influencers are the main attraction at the prestigious event Credit: Getty The 'Big Four', aka London, New York, Paris and Milan fashion weeks are now having to include their Danish counterpart as a part of the exclusive fashion schedule as they draw the creme de la creme of fashion. Celebs? No. But trendsetting, well dressed members of the fashion crowd make it the coolest place to be. And it dictates trends like no other. Where the other fashion weeks show over the top designs, like taxidermy heads on ballgowns that seem unattainable to us normal folk, Copenhagen caters to real peoples clothing needs, whilst upholding standards of representing real women on its catwalks. From fuller busts to grey hair and having a figure that doesn't resemble a match stick - you can find your tribe in Copenhagen. 14 Aside from having gorgeous clothes the models at their catwalk shows represent real women Credit: GETTY That is all well and good, but if you're a fan of Scandinavian brands like Ganni (who jumped ship to Paris Fashion week, traitors) and Stine Goya, you'll know that they come with pretty big price tags attached to them. Thankfully, the high street and supermarket brands are hot on their stylish heels already bringing us designs hot off the catwalk and influencers backs. Despite designers showing go-to looks for spring/summer 2026, the trends are already taking a hold and are perfect for the current hot weather and transitional outfits going into winter. Here, Fabulous' fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals the 7 things you can buy now from our favourite shops to channel the Danes style. LACE 14 Skirt, £19, F&F at Tesco Credit: Tesco If there's one trend that transcends all seasons it's lace, and this year is no exception. From inserts on dresses to laser-cut out skirts and that viral top from Zara, lace is a hero for 2025. I picked up this skirt last week in F&F and it ticks all the trend boxes for now and will look so chic in winter with black knee high boots and a roll neck in winter. 3D FLORALS Forget floral prints, if you want to be on-trend your flowers need to be 3D lead by Cecile Bahnsen. 14 Floral prints will no longer do, you need them to be 3D Credit: Getty Luckily River Island has appliqued florals on their transitional looks that you can wear now and take into autumn by layering with tights and skirts or slipped under suits like this £36 top. 14 Top, £36, River Island Credit: RiverIsland HEADSCARFS On the bags, hips and heads of fashionable folk at Copenhagen fashion week, the scarf is also here to stay. As we move into a new season your best, and on-trend, bet is to have it around your head, but placing it anywhere else on your body is also just as good. H&M are selling gorgeous styles from just £8.99. 14 Scarf, £8.99, H&M Credit: H&M CHECKS Swap your gingham prints for checks that have started to creep into stores ahead of autumn and are a timeless trend that can live in your wardrobe for years, and years to come. The easiest way to incorporate this into your wardrobe is with a shirt, this style from New Look is perfect for wearing open with a white tank underneath and all buttoned up when we move into cooler months. 14 Shirt, £25.99, New Look Credit: New Look WOVEN From your feet to your bag and everything in between, woven styles aren't showing signs of going anywhere with Scandi girls still loving the look. Primark's £15 dupe of high end brand Dragon Diffusion is available in cream and brown. 14 Bag, £15, Primark Credit: Primark BALLOON TROUSERS If you thought barrel shaped trousers were the key to comfort, think again as balloon trousers are the latest trend set to rock the trouser-sphere. Balloon shapes were on front row goers as well as models at Birrot and The Garment but this style from Zara is an amazing statement pair you need now. 14 Zara ZW COLLECTION SATIN BALLOON TROUSERS Credit: ZARA 14 Street style during Copenhagen Fashion Week 2025 Fashion Week on August 06, 2025 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

This skirt from Next is a bargain in the sale and looks so chic in see-through black with a mini skirt insert. A great by for now and you can even wear it into party season. 14 Skirt, £49.50, Monsoon Credit: Monsoon DRESSES OVER JEANS You can either recoil in horror or embrace it for when you can't decide what to wear, but dresses over trousers are in. It girls swanned around the cobbled streets of Copenhagen with skirts and long dresses over their jeans and you best believe well all be doing it too. A part lace, part satin hem with fluidity seems to be the hottest way to go, like this H&M style in must-have plum shade is perfect.
