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.
The summer shoes even have an anatomically made foot bed, and are made with leather from LWG certified tanneries.
But you'll need to move fast if you want to nab these supermarket buys, as like all

Meghan Markle couldn't get Beyonce so settled for her mum… but even a global star couldn't save As Ever, expert slams
MEGHAN Markle couldn't bag Beyonce for her podcast so she settled for her mum instead, an expert claimed. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, sat down with Tina Knowles for the latest episode of Confessions of a Female Founder this week. 6 Meghan Markle couldn't bag Beyonce for her podcast so she settled for her mum instead, an expert claimed.

This comes as the Duchess decided to Meg said she wants to wait until it is "completely stable and we have everything we need" as to not annoy customers. Mr Ede said: "Meghan obviously is trying really hard to establish herself in a big way, and associating herself with other female founders, was kind of a good idea, because it went well with the As Ever brand, and how that was developing. Read More "But the issue is that actually the "And so when she's been interviewing some of these brilliant people like Sarah Blakely, for instance, who who came up with "And unfortunately, as ever isn't." Mr Ede dubbed it more of a "PR spin" than a proper brand. Most read in Royals He also compared it to "Meghan is great at piggybacking off other people's success," the expert added. But, despite chatting to popular celebs on the podcast, Mr Ede didn't think it would be of much benefit. "I think one of the biggest problems with this is that unfortunately, Meghan hasn't had the people who are going to get the bums on seats who are going to get the listeners who are going to get the downloaders," he said. "And also the conversations aren't particularly interesting. "They're only interesting to people who want to be female founders, and if they're not, then it doesn't really give them much to talk about." Mr Ede also highlighted how the Duchess "isn't particularly relatable". He said there's a "massive disconnect" as "really she's not a female founder". The expert suggested the mum-of-two's best bet would be venturing into the fashion world. "I don't think she'll do another podcast. I just don't think it's working," he continued. "I would really sit back and go, 'how front facing do I need to be? Do I actually need to be right at the forefront of it? Or can I just use my name to influence and drive sales, make money and feel much more protected?' "I think that would be the best strategy for her in the long run."

On the podcast, she also expressed her dream of launching a future business with daughter "I wonder if one day I'll be in Meghan spoke about the April launch of her She said that the "scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people", comparing it to "a sneaker drop". But she feared it might be "annoying" for customers, adding: "I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time." Meghan said: "So for me at the moment, with As Ever, it was great. We planned for a year we get and then everything sells out in 45 minutes. "Yes, amazing, great news. Then what do you do? And then you say 'Ok, we planned as best as we could. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? "I'm looking at it saying 'Just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need'." She added how people "see all the flashy stuff and they see the product.

She could have sold 50 jars and if it sold out, it sold out. 'She doesn't really know what she's doing, which is fine because you can hire people that do. 'But to go from selling jam and shortbread and all of that, which has reportedly sold out, to not restocking and then kind of having this haphazard view of what you're going to do next and potentially go into fashion, she doesn't know what she's doing. More on Meghan Markle 'It's just a hobby. 'But that's fine because she's rich and hot. 'There's not a single person that looks to Meghan Markle as some sort of business or commercial genius or even competent. 'She doesn't need to be.' Most read in Royals This follows Meghan hinting she won't restock As Ever products until the start of 2026, according to Instead she hopes to 'take a step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be.' Meghan is too vacuous. Why can't she promote women in a realistic way?

I was a ‘hard as nails' six-time champion jockey – there's two things I HATE about racing today
A WINNER of the Derby, Oaks, Arc and both Guineas - 'hard as nails' and a six-time champion jockey akin to a horse whisperer. Kieren Fallon did it all - some of it not so good - in his legendary career. 2 Legendary jockey Kieren Fallon won it all in his star-studded career including the Derby multiple times Credit: PA:Press Association 2 But now the 60-year-old, having had time to reflect on his career out of the saddle, says there are two things he cannot stand about racing today But the iconic rider has revealed two things he simply cannot stand about watching today. Fallon, now 60, was a punter's pal during his heyday in the late Nineties and early Noughties. Only one year out of seven, when Kevin Darley won in 2000, was he not crowned the best in Britain. The victories and millions upon millions in prize money piled up high for the Irish rider. And he had his own way of doing things. Fallon didn't like to ride hold-up style, sitting at the back and waiting for the gaps to appear with a late burst of speed. He always preferred to be up with the pace, ensuring a true gallop. And that partly explains one of his gripes with the way racing has gone today. Most read in Horse Racing Fallon, who won the Epsom Oaks and Derby four and three times respectively, got the issue off his chest on Luck On Sunday. Now a work rider for Godolphin's No1 trainer Charlie Appleby, Fallon said there is one riding style he cannot stand. Opening up on his pet peeves, Fallon, dad of current jockey Cieren, said: "I hate these false rails. "I think, for one, it takes the art of race-riding out of it. "Now, for a punter and from a betting point of view, they're great because it opens up the race. "But when they came out at first I didn't agree with them. "Another thing I don't agree with is coming up the centre of the racecourse - it opens it up for everyone. "But, if you have a bet, and your horse is in behind it gives you a lot more chance than if you stay on the rail. "But that's the fun and that's the art of it." Fallon also opened up on what it's like to work for Appleby. The Southampton boy completed a Guineas double this year with Desert Flower - red-hot favourite for the Oaks - and Ruling Court winning the 1000 and 2000 Guineas respectively. Fallon said Desert Flower is the one of the two he'd most like to ride at Epsom. But, despite his considerable experience, he's not allowed on the top young talent at Appleby's Moulton Paddocks yard. He joked: "He doesn't let me have much to do with the two-year-olds. "He says once you're over 55 you can't be riding yearlings - he's a p***-taker, Charlie is! "But he's a great guy to work for, he's fun."
