New Look's £59 cowboy boots are perfect for festivals
Cowboy boots are everywhere this summer. From Glastonbury to BST Hyde Park, festival-goers (and celebs alike) have been stomping around in Western-inspired footwear, pairing them with floaty dresses and cut-off denim.
I'd been on the hunt for a pair that felt fun and trend-forward, but still classy and versatile enough to wear long after the last headline act leaves the stage. And New Look has delivered with a black boot costing £59.99 that ticks every box.
The sleek footwear, with faux black leather and delicate white stitch detailing, deliver just the right amount of contrast to make a statement. The silhouette is timeless, and they're comfortable too, with heel-to-toe padding that helps make them wearable for hours.
A sturdy block heel provides a subtle lift without any wobble. Meanwhile, the side zip makes them easy to slip on and off.
In terms of styling, pair them with a floaty boho mini and a cropped denim jacke t for a festival look, or opt for a tailored blazer and wide-leg jeans for a chic city look. They would also work brilliantly with a ribbed tank and midi denim skirt - a low-effort vibe that'll carry you into autumn.
For those keen to get on board with the cowboy trend, there are plenty of standout pairs available. That includes a designer pair from Ganni (£375), which are expensive but gorgeous. They feature traditional embroidery in contrasting yellow topstitching and Cuban heels.
A more affordable option is these Stradivarius ankle boots, or these faux suede iterations from ASOS. Both options fall within the £50 range, making them a cheaper alternative for those on a budget.
Regarding the New Look boots, they currently have no reviews. The only negative we can think of is that faux leather can be less durable and breathable than genuine leather. Also, they could crack and peel over time.
Despite the material concerns, this is a great opportunity to pick up a stylish pair of shoes from the high street for under £60. The boots are available for purchase via New Look here.

Jason Momoa's co-star spills on 'unique bromance' on the set of his 10-year passion project
Chief of War has finally premiered on Apple TV+ after taking a decade to bring the epic historical series to the screen and it seems Jason Momoa has developed a close friendship with one of his co-stars Jason Momoa, the star of the new epic historical drama Chief of War, has struck up a close friendship with one of the show's emerging talents amidst the stunning Hawaiian backdrop. The much-awaited Apple TV+ series made its debut this Friday (1st August), a decade after Momoa first dreamt up the passion project. Set against the tumultuous life of the legendary warrior Ka'iana, Chief of War takes viewers back to the dawn of the 19th Century as Hawaii and the Pacific Islands grapple with Western intrusion and fierce internal conflicts. Te Kohe Tuhaka, a rising star from New Zealand, steps into the role of Namakeʻ, Ka'iana's brother and a key figure in the unification struggle that paved the way for Kamehameha I's (portrayed by Kaina Makua) rule over the Kingdom of Hawaii. In an interview with Express Online, Tuhaka praised the series as "brutal" and "beautiful", expressing his hope that it will inspire "indigenous superheroes" among young Hawaiians, reports the Express. He also opened up about the strong camaraderie he formed with Game of Thrones and Aquaman heavyweight Momoa, alongside fellow actors Makua, Siua Ikaleo (Nahiʻ), and Brandon Finn (Prince Kūpule), fostered through their on-screen portrayal as brothers-in-arms. Tuhaka fondly recalled, "These four hammers, I called them, we were all pretty close," adding, "One [memory] I probably can't tell you, but we did manage to have a good time. We trained together a lot, we were in the gym a lot together. There was lots of laughing." During the chilly filming conditions, Tuhaka admitted: "Because it was so cold [during filming], I struggled a lot to feel Hawaiian in the middle of winter, but those three men, I would just pull them into me and I'd go 'I just need to feel your warmth and understanding so I can feel Hawaiian again'. "The close-knit nature of the cast was very evident." Tuhaka praised Momoa as a "great leader" on set, highlighting his roles not only as the leading actor but also as an executive producer and co-writer alongside Thomas Pa'a Sibbett. "I have a real bromance with Jason," he confessed. "We're pretty tight. "And our friendship is pretty unique. But, I would say, as a craftsperson, as a producer, as a writer, as a director, he really went above and beyond to make sure one, we all felt safe and heard. "And second to that allowed us the space, time and energy to deliver the performances without, kind of, putting any restraints on us." Having appeared in films like The Dead Lands and Love and Monsters, Tuhaka's career is set to soar after working with a Hollywood heavyweight like Momoa. Momoa ensured Tuhaka had every chance to excel, especially during the many "firsts" experienced on set. "I have a background in doing my own stunts, and Jason has the same thing but his version of that is, like, 1000 times bigger," Tuhaka remarked. "So, to be taken aside by him to best understand the lines to run, the movement of the weapon, that guidance so the level of the stunts and the fights are matching... "We do have a few fights together where we're fighting as a duo. That, to me, was an eye-opening educational process as an actor. It was amazing." Keep your eyes peeled for a mix of bromance, romance, and thrilling action sequences as this enthralling historical drama gears up to drop new episodes weekly.

‘I'm a shopping writer and these are the holiday clothes I'd buy for under £30'
From comfy denim shorts to a shell print dress, here are my top picks As a fashion writer it's my day job to scour the high street for the best clothing buys, finding everything from the denim shorts with the most flattering fit to comfy yet chic wedding guest dresses. Knowing what to buy for a holiday can be tricky, especially if you have limited space in your suitcase, plus the cost of a new holiday haul can add up. Since I shop for a living, I've rounded up some of my favourite buys that I'd snap up if I was jetting off somewhere sunny soon rather than getting caught in downpours in good old Blighty. Is that Ibiza I hear calling my name? From pretty warm weather dresses to practical yet stylish summer shoes and bags, I've compiled a list of my favourite high street finds. The best bit? They all cost £30 or less. Boden Belle Broderie Sleeve Top - £22 (originally £44) Boden's Belle Broderie Sleeve Top is now 50% off and is a great basic to take in your holiday suitcase. It's essentially a staple white top that'll go with all manner of pieces from denim shorts to maxi skirts, but the frill sleeves give it a dressier feel than your standard vest or tee. One Boden shopper who purchased the top said: "Beautiful colour, great design - nice bit of fabric under the sleeve to ensure your bra isn't on show! Nice touch - cleverly thought out." One reviewer did have reservations about the top's shoulder detail, writing: "I loved the colour, but unfortunately the shoulders were just too wide and looked odd so I had to return." The top, which is also available in four other colours, is super versatile and its 100% cotton material means it'll be breathable in the heat. New Look Navy Shell Print Satin V-Neck Midi Dress - £22 (originally £37) You can't go wrong with shell and lobster print which are huge news this summer. As a neutral girl I tend to steer clear of anything too bright, so I love that this New Look Navy Shell Print Satin V-Neck Midi Dress comes in a darker hue. The Dress is perfect for summer evenings thanks to the figure skimming fit and flutter sleeves that add a feminine touch. I'd style the dress with a straw clutch bag and some strappy sandals. Whilst I really love the design of this dress, I reckon that the cut on the bust area may come up small if you have a fuller bust. That being said, I like that the dress has small sleeves which is handy if you're conscious of your arms. Marks and Spencer Woven Top Handle Shopper - £25 M&S do an amazing selection of bags, and this woven top handle shopper works great for holidays thanks to its roomy interior and beachy straw-like material. It's also available in pink if you fancy adding a pop of colour to your wardrobe, but personally I like that the neutral hue goes with anything. One shopper who purchased the bag from M&S said: "Excellent bag. Good quality, comfortable strap, very pleased." Another did mention they'd found the bag a little irritating to use, writing: "Ok bag for the price. A little too big for me and has an inside cotton bag that is not fixed, so slips around and needs sewing in." Despite this, I think it's a good all-rounder for summer, especially if you've only got room in your suitcase for one bag. H&M White Linen Shirt - £28 A linen shirt is a summer staple and will work harder than most other things in your wardrobe. Wear it buttoned up with denim shorts for a day out exploring, or wear it over a bikini as a cover-up, the possibilities are endless. This white Linen Shirt from H&M is made from 100% linen meaning it'll be breathable in sticky weather. One customer who purchased the shirt did say as part of their review: "The fabric does have a slightly stiff/scratchy feel but hoping it softens up with wear and washing. I'm also hoping it doesn't shrink when I wash it!" Despite this, the shirt has a 4.7 average star rating out of a possible five on H&M's website. One happy purchaser said 'This is the best linen shirt I have ever owned.' ASOS Design Soft Denim Pull On Short - £22 These ASOS Design soft pull on shorts are a great alternative for when it's too warm to wear rigid denim. Thanks to the lightweight material, these shorts give the same vibe as their more structured denim counterparts but are much comfier. The shorts, which are available in UK sizes 10-18, can also be purchased with a matching top for £24, giving you a co-ord that can also be worn as separates when teamed with other items in your wardrobe. The only drawback I can see with these denim shorts is that they don't seem to have a drawstring detail at the front, only a stretch panel at the back. Next High Neck Essential Shaping Swimsuit - £18 Next's High Neck Essential Shaping Swimsuit is available in a staple black colour or a blue patterned print. The classic design looks chic and shoppers love the costume as it comes in both regular and petite sizes. One said: "Excellent quality and brilliant to be able to buy a petite costume. Please could you do it in other colours." One thing to note is that one customer felt the material was 'see-through' whilst another said it was 'too thin.' Despite this, a different customer was pleased with the fit and price tag, writing: "Fits perfect and the material looks great, definitely recommend. The price is affordable." PLT Square Toe Thong Flat Sandals - £16 A staple pair of black sandals will see you through many a holiday look and the gold toned detail on these Square Toe Thong Sandals adds a chic touch. The sandals are available in UK shoe sizes 3-8 and also come in white. One slight drawback I can see with these shoes is that the thong toe could potentially be a little uncomfortable for those who aren't used to it, but I love the barely-there design. Mango Draped Shirt Dress - £23 (originally £50) Ideal for a city break or beach holiday evenings, this Mango Draped Shirt Dress features a flattering draped detail that gives it a figure-hugging shape without being uncomfortable. I'd keep the look simple and team this gorgeous dress with white shoes and a straw bag. Whilst I love the cut of this dress, if you're fuller busted I think it could mean the dress may gape at the chest if you want it cinched round the waist. However, I do think the dress is a classic and won't date, meaning you could dig it out year after year. Amazon Reoria Thong Bodysuit - £20 There's little worse than wearing a bra during sweaty weather so I love this Amazon Reoria Bodysuit for warmer wdays. It has a thong detail so it won't give a VPL and it has a double lined fabric which makes it supportive. I've tried Reoria bodysuits before and can vouch for their quality. It's currently available in five colours. One shopper said however, that they found the bodysuit 'runs a tad small' though another described it as 'waist smoothing.' I love that the bodysuit can be styled with skirts, shorts, and trousers for maximum wear. New Look Pink Fruit Print Frill Trim Midi Dress - £20 (originally £35) In case you hadn't guessed, I tend to stick to neutral pieces on holiday, but if you like a pop of colour then the fruit print on this Pink Fruit Print Frill Trim Midi Dress from New Look makes it a really fun option. Whether you're hitting up the all inclusive buffet or exploring the local bars, this on-sale dress has been described by one shopper on New Look's website as: "A lovely dress, it's stunning on." Whilst the leg slit may be annoying for some, I like that the dress has an elasticated rear waist for extra comfort.
