M&S' must-have summer holiday dresses
Not only this, but many hailed the quality, comfort, value for money and style as 'excellent'.
One person was impressed by the "comfortable" shorts and said: 'Nice, cool cotton shorts for summer nightwear. Reasonable price.'
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.'
Another added: 'Great pair of pj shorts. Nice colour way.
"Lovely soft and airy material. I might wear both pairs as actual shorts.'
Cool and comfortable - just what I wanted
Fashion fan
A third commented: 'To wear with vest tops. Just the job for warmer nights.'
At the same time, someone else chimed in: 'Cool and comfortable - just what I wanted, and so pleased to be able to buy just the bottoms, which I wear with a cotton vest.
"Good simple colours, just what I wanted.'

How to dress like a Gallagher as Oasis arrive in Dublin for reunion tour
The shops have gone Oasis crazy as the Gallagher brothers have landed in Dublin for the much-anticipated reunion tour. From bucket hats to anoraks and John Lennon-style glasses, there's no shortage of clothes on the high street inspired by the band. It's been 16 years since Noel and Liam Gallagher took to the stage together. And since then, festival fashion has certainly taken up a few notches. As Taylor Swift-mania took hold of the world in 2023 and 2024, fans pulled out all the stops by dressing up as the megastar. Since then, it has become a trend at concerts to dress like the musician who's playing. From Y2K rah-rah skirts at Charli XCX to sweetheart dresses at Sabrina Carpenter and even bald caps at Pitbull, gigs have become about much more than just the music. And it's not hard to fit in with the Gallagher brothers. Grab a pair of shorts, a parka jacket, round sunglasses and a bucket hat and you've got the iconic Liam look. If you're one of the lucky ones who managed to nab a sought-after ticket for one of the two Oasis gigs in Croke Park, we've got you sorted on where to buy the perfect items. From a band tee in Zalando to striped polos from Dunnes and Marks & Spencer, here are our top picks: M&S M&S Collection Pure Cotton Oasis Graphic T-Shirt €29 M&S Collection Loose Fit Stretch Jeans for €32 M&S Collection Adjustable Cross Body Bag for €27 M&S Collection Metal Round Polarised Sunglasses €27 M&S Collection The Ultimate Tipped Pique Polo Shirt €29 For those on a bit of a budget, Marks & Spencer's has some gorgeous pieces that could tie your look together. If Liam's sports casual style isn't your thing, why not take a leaf from Noel's fashion book? The older brother currently loves rocking a stylish polo shirt with some cool sunglasses. For €29, you can get this dark blue and white polo from M&S that could've come straight from Noel's wardrobe, without the hefty price tag. Pair it with M&S Collection Loose Fit Stretch Jeans for €32 and these M&S Metal Round Polarised Sunglasses for €27 and you've got a cheap festival fit. Other gorgeous Oasis bits from the store include the M&S Collection Pure Cotton Oasis Graphic T-Shirt for €29 and the M&S Collection Adjustable Cross Body Bag for €27. TK Maxx TK Maxx blue stripes polo shirt €26.99 (RRP €67.00) TK Maxx purple wind jacket €54.99 (RRP €180.00) TK Maxx cream hat €10.99 TK Maxx Men yellow shorts €16.99 TK Maxx also has some great bits that can add to your outfit without breaking the bank. The retailer has this gorgeous cream bucket hat for just €10.99, and these out-there yellow shorts that have been reduced from €60 to €16.99. If you want to copy Noel there's a stunning blue stripe polo shirt for €26.99, or get the Liam look with this purple wind jacket at €54.99. Dunnes Dunnes Paul Galvin grandad shirt €30 Dunnes Paul Galvin Stripe Polo €25 For those who don't want to be a carbon copy of Noel or Liam but want to give a nod to the iconic band, get yourself to Dunnes. Pop on your favourite pair of jeans or shorts and pick one of these two gorgeous options- the Paul Galvin Stripe Polo in baby blue for €25 or the Paul Galvin grandad shirt for €30. Zalando Zalando Levis 565 jeans- €70 Zalando Timberland Benton Parka- €189.95 Reynold Bucket Hat - €69.00 Adidas originals polo shirt- €70 Zalando Gazelle Indoor Trainer- €120.00 Zalando OASIS GAP t-shirt- €47 If you don't like dragging yourself around the shops, online retailer Zalando has an Oasis collection that can be ordered at the click of a button. While it might be too late to order for this weekend's Dublin shows, there are some gorgeous finds for anyone heading to the shows over the next three months. It has a gorgeous selection of Levi jeans that have come straight from the 90s. While Liam and Noel were often seen strutting the streets in shorts in their heyday, they also loved their denim. Levis 565 jeans for €70 are both practical and stylish. Pair them with GAP's graphic Oasis tee for a fun fan look. Or, if you'd prefer to look like Adidas-loving Liam, pair it with the brand's cool blue and orange polo shirt for €70. For accessories, pop on the Reynold Bucket Hat in navy. However, it is on the pricier side at €69. To match gorgeously with the Adidas polo shirt, we've picked out these stunning Gazelle trainers for €120. And although the gigs are in August, we're never guaranteed the weather here in Ireland, so a rain jacket is a must. Luckily an anorak is the Gallagher brothers' signature style piece- and it's practical. If you're looking for a sturdy jacket that will do you all year round, this Timberland Benton Parka for €189.95 is perfect.

Parents are ‘making an M&S trip a priority' after realising they can bag a whole cake & a sweet treat totally for free
Some claim they also got their hands on free biscuits SWEET DEAL Parents are 'making an M&S trip a priority' after realising they can bag a whole cake & a sweet treat totally for free M&S has sent thrifty parents into a frenzy after they realised the easy way to score a whole cake and a sweet treat for their kids for free. According to savvy shoppers, the popular retailer is handing out free cakes and a healthy treat for kids - and parents don't have to spend a single penny. 2 M&S is now also handing out free cake and treats for members of the Parent Hood Club Credit: TIKTOK/@littleoutfitters 2 Thanks to the epic deal, mum Jess saved £4.25 on the cake and an extra £2 on the Piccolo pouch Credit: TIKTOK/@thepiecesofparenthood With the costs soaring, many supermarkets have come to rescue with freebies for cash-strapped Brits - and Marks & Spencer is no exception. The supermarket recently launched its new baby club - the Parent Hood - and there are heaps of perks that come with it. As well as having access to nutritionist-approved recipes for tots and monthly rewards to name a few, M&S is now also handing out free cake and treats for members of the scheme. One shopper who recently spotted the epic offer on her app was mum-of-two Jess - who also took to TikTok to share the news with fellow parents. ''I love that M&S always gives freebies to parents and this time they're giving us a free full cake and also a Piccolo breakfast pouch for your child. ''All you need to do is be a part of the Parent Hood Club, load it onto your Sparks card - you'll see there's loads of offers on there.'' Once you've picked the cake and the healthy pouch for your little one, simply head to the till and scan them at the checkout using the offer. Jess, who posts under the username @thepiecesofparenthood, went for the classic red velvet cake, she shared in the clip. Thanks to the epic deal, Jess saved £4.25 on the cake and an extra £2 on the Piccolo pouch. The mum-of-two is not the only one raving about the deal - as TikTok user @littleoutfitters also showed off the scrumptious Chocolate Fudge Cake she'd nabbed for free. Top 10 Birthday Freebies She told fellow parents in the video: ''If you're a Sparks card holder and already a part of the parenthood club then go grab your free cake from @Marks & Spencer . ''There's also a free @MyLittlePiccolo pouch from the M&S Cafe!'' If you're already a member of the club but cannot find the offer, the mum advised to ''try logging in and out of account''. Free summer holiday activites You don't need to spend a penny to keep your kids entertained this summer... Museums - Some museums offer free entry to some exhibits, and also host events for kids. Parks - Head to your local park to enjoy the playgrounds, games areas, courts and splash pads. Some even have trails for kids to enjoy. Beach - It doesn't have to be sunny to enjoy the beach, you can go rock pooling, crabbing, make sandcastles, or enjoy a walk along the headland. Library - If the weather is awful, head indoors and borrow books, audiobooks, dvds. Cooking - Have your own mini bake-off, or Come Dine With Me challenge. Playdates - Invite friends over for an afternoon of socialising. Boardgames - Enjoy a little sibling rivalry with rounds of Monopoly or stretch your brain with Scrabble. She said: ''It may be worth updating the app or logging in and out again. ''If still not there then contact them so you don't miss out on this and future rewards.'' The cash-savvy TikToker chucked in the comments: ''I literally went M&S just for the cake.'' The video has since taken the internet by storm, winning the mum close to 125k views in less than 24 hours. Dozens flooded to comments, where one said: ''Got mine today with a free pack off biscuits.'' Another shared their epic success, writing: ''My partner has signed up too we claimed 2!'' A third couldn't wait to get their hands on the sweet treat, commenting: ''Good choice. I saw this yesterday and making an M&S trip a priority.''

Fat jabs helped me lose 7st – I'd tried every diet under the sun and it's not lazy way out, says Gogglebox's Amy Tapper
AFTER years of fad diets and sweat-soaked gym sessions, ex-Gogglebox favourite Amy Tapper has undergone a major body transformation. But the secret behind her dramatic 7st weight loss isn't what you might think – and Amy herself warns that it's not for everyone. 6 Ex-Gogglebox star Amy Tapper has dropped from a size 26 to a size 18 in just 12 months after her incredible weight loss Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Amy, pictured before her weight loss, says she had tried every diet known to man Credit: Do The Unthinkable The 25-year-old TV star, who won the nation's hearts alongside her family on the Channel 4 sofa hit, has dropped from a size 26 to a size 18 in just 12 months. And after keeping schtum about exactly how she's shed the pounds, she today reveals it is all thanks to the weight loss drug Mounjaro. In an exclusive photoshoot with Fabulous, Amy shows off her incredible new look and opens up for the first time about her journey, telling us: 'I've gone to doctors all my life and they can never tell me the problem – because there's actually nothing wrong with me. 'My bloods are always amazing, I haven't got polycystic ovaries, I haven't got a thyroid problem and I haven't got anything that usually makes you put on weight. It is just genetics.' Dad Jonathan, 58, has slimmed down from his 21st 3lb weight to 18st 8lbs since he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2019. She spoke to her doctor whether her weight was inherited from her dad - but was told it could be from distant relative but it's impossible to know. For single Amy, who starred on E4 matchmaking show Celebs Go Dating in 2018, trying to slim down has been a lifelong battle. 'I have done every single diet under the sun,' says Amy, who, like 56 per cent of UK adults, has followed fad diets in a desperate bid to lose weight, including one which only let her eat chicken and sweet potatoes. Gogglebox's Amy Tapper shows off incredible 5st weight loss in amazing before and after pics 'The same thing happens over and over again. I get three stone lighter and I don't lose any more.' For years Amy, from Edgware, north London, was trapped in a vicious cycle of losing some weight, only to put it all back on again. 'Trying to lose weight became my full-time job,' says Amy, who managed to shed just over 3st back in 2021 by healthy eating and regular boxing. 'I found that pressurising as well, because I knew the way my body worked. 'Once I got over that 3st mark, it would take me a month to lose another pound. 'I would be really good all week, I would work out, and I would lose nothing. So then it was just like: 'What's the point?'' Although she has always eaten healthily, Amy says she struggled with her portion sizes. She said: 'I don't think I've ever even tried a full-fat coke in my life. 'It was more the portions of it. I'd be able to have a three-course meal. I'd be able to eat things on a bigger scale.' Amy says that last year she finally reached breaking point. 'I felt there was nothing else I could do,' she admits. 6 Amy with dad Jonathan, mum Nikki and brother Josh Credit: Damien McFadden 'I actually went to a doctor about surgery, because it got past the point of caring about how I look." Although her doctors told her she was physically healthy, Amy struggled with the secondary effects of being overweight. She said: 'I'd get really sweaty and really out of breath quickly.' 'If my friend lived on the top floor somewhere I'd dread to go there because I'd know by the time I'd get to the top I'd be out of breath.' In June last year, her doctor introduced her to weight loss drug Mounjaro. 500,000 people in the UK are currently taking either Mounjaro or Wegovy, according to Simple Online Pharmacy, with a staggering 1.5 million Brits currently using some kind of weight loss drug. I actually went to a doctor about surgery, because it got past the point of caring about how I look. That's up 24.6 per cent since October 2024, according to market intelligence company IQVIA. Typically, patients can expect to lose 15 to 20 per cent of their total body weight in a matter of months. It proved to be a huge turning point for 5ft 3 Amy, who has lost a third of her body weight since 2021. 'I've been on these injections for a year now and I've lost 7st,' she says. 'I'm not sure what my BMI was exactly but I was definitely considered morbidly obese.' She has been taking a 15mg weekly dose since February which she worked her way up to from 2.5mg. 'I'm fitting into size 18 clothes for the first time since I was 15 or 16 – it's hard for me to believe. 'It's changed my life. I went to the theatre the other night and when I sat down, my thighs weren't touching the person next to me, or the sides of the chairs. I had room. 'I was like: 'Oh my God, Mum, this is what it feels like to just fit.'' That feeling of not fitting has dogged Amy ever since she was a child. 'Even growing up as a kid and going to Disney at a young age, I wasn't able to go on certain rides,' she says. 'You don't choose that life at that age.' But while weight loss medication has been life-changing for Amy, she believes that it shouldn't be dished out to those who see it as a quick fix. 'It frustrates me on a daily basis knowing that certain people are on it,' she says. 'It's too available for your normal person. If you've only got 3st or less to lose, you should not be on it. 'And unfortunately, it ruins it for people like me who it's absolutely life-changing for. 6 I've been on these injections for a year now and I've lost 7st, reveals Amy Credit: Lorna Roach 'I also get annoyed that some people call it the 'lazy way out'. 'I don't want people to think that I've sat around for the last 17 years of my life not trying to lose weight. 'I want people to know that this has been my only option to get this far.' Amy strongly believes that Mounjaro is a drug designed for those who, like her, have bodies that don't respond to traditional dieting or exercise. And despite the benefits, she even fears for those who use it when they don't need to. 'It goes for your muscles,' she says. NO QUICK FIX 'That's why there's the whole 'Ozempic face' and 'Ozempic arms' and all of that stuff. 'It's also really damaging for people with eating disorders.' She has worked with personal trainer Tash since the end of 2021 doing regular workouts to help her tone up and maintain muscle mass. She said: 'Exercising alongside Mounjaro is so important - it's very hard to work out if you are at that point of needing Mounjaro.' Amy says she has only experienced side effects when going up a dose - and minimises them by drinking plenty of water and taking electrolytes. For Amy, this is no quick fix and she believes she will need to take weight loss medication 'for life'. Now, she makes sure she follows doctor's orders by listening to what her body needs and makes sure her small meals are nutritionally dense. She said: 'If I'm not hungry I'm not going to force myself to eat. 'I do have to make sure I get protein in and that is my number one priority so I eat a lot of chicken and tuna.' I'm fitting into size 18 clothes for the first time since I was 15 or 16 – it's hard for me to believe. Although she was open about taking the medication with friends and family, she said she didn't want to open up until she felt she was educated enough to answer her followers' questions. She is keen for fans to understand the commitment of taking Mounjaro. She says: 'What people don't realise is that it does so much more than just suppress your appetite. 'It also curbs cravings and slows down your digestive system to keep you fuller for longer. 'There's no such thing as an easy way out. Even surgery is not an easy way out. 'Coming off the injections will mean my body goes back to its old ways. 'I don't want people to think that they can just go on it, lose a couple of stone, come off of it, and be chilling. 'The minute they come off, their bodies will go back to doing exactly what they did before and they're going to store fat.' 6 I get annoyed that some people call weight loss injections the 'lazy way out', says Amy Credit: Lorna Roach 6 The star now laughs at the trolls who once attacked her over her size Credit: Lorna Roach Amy's family – brother Josh, 27, who works for a think-tank, nursery manager mum Nikki, 52, and dad Jonathan, 58, a chauffeur – are thrilled at her weight loss success. 'They're so proud and so happy about it,' she says. 'They were always supportive of me their whole lives - and now they are happy to see me so happy.' The star, who has been sharing her weight loss journey with her 76,000 Instagram followers, now laughs at the trolls who once attacked her over her size. BODY BATTLE 'I used to scroll through my phone looking at negative comments calling me 'the fat girl in the corner', but now I see them arguing in the comments section about if I am on Mounjaro or not. It makes me laugh.' Despite dropping an incredible 7st, Amy's body battle is far from over. Having lost weight at such speed, she eventually hopes to have skin removal surgery once she has reached a stable weight in the next couple years. 'It's a long way down the line, but I've lost the weight sooner than I would have ever imagined in my life,' she says. 'I'm definitely having a party after I have reached my goal weight and had my loose skin removed. 'You need to celebrate these things. Otherwise, what's the point?'
