While I Wait For That Zara Polka Dot Jacket To Return – Here's Other Windbreakers I Rate
Zara is killing it right now. It was only last week I was telling everyone about my quest to find that viral £50 satin lace cami dress, now, I'm frantically refreshing the site to find another item. This time, it's thepolka dot jacket that's been such a hit since launching a few days ago, it's already sold out online. But fear not, friends, as I'm here to tell you that there's still lots of sizes available in multiple stores around the UK. And while you can't buy it directly online from the link I'm about to share (sorry) you can use it to check if there's one in a store near you. If you're not keen for an IRL search, or simply can't face the thought of a queue, you'll also be pleased to know Zara head office have kindly let me know that it will be restocked very shortly. Vague, I know, and believe me, I wish I had an exact date and time it was dropping so I could add it to my basket before the other fashion girls do. 1. Zara Polka Dot Puffer Jacket Again, please don't be annoyed when you click on this link and see the dreaded 'out of stock' sign. Instead, be happy that you can use it for the 'check in-store availability' option where you'll be able to see if there's one to snap up near you IRL. We can basically thank Miu Miufor the revival of technical jackets. Seen on the spring/summer 2025 catwalk, fashion-meets-function zip-up styles were paired with everything from pleated skirts (as seen below) to bloomer micro shorts. And while I won't be wearing the latter, I am fully invested in these sporty jackets that work well juxtaposed with everyday pieces I already have in my wardrobe. Also, given the fact the weather forecast seems to be changing by the minute at the moment, I'm all for a light, throw-on-and-go layer that'll work for when it's hot, but unpredictable. And this is where the Zara style comes in. Not only is it in the print of the season (yes, there's no escaping all things spotty), it's also the perfect slightly oversized shape, and has a drawstring hem along with high funnel neck to keep out windy weather. PARIS, FRANCE - OCTOBER 01: A model walks the runway during the Miu Miu Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week on October 01, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) When it comes to how to style this polka dot windbreakerjacket, fashion people have all agreed it looks best worn zipped up as a top. So this basically solves any getting ready woes on your way to work. I also love how Elena Lenaro (below) has taken on that unlikely outfit formula rule by teaming the zip-up jacket with shorts, heels and a fancy bag. Who knew a sporty jacket could work so well for a dinner date? But if you want to know another reason why everyone is going wild for this jacket, it's also due to the fact it's a co-ord– yes, that's right, you can also get matching polka dot shorts. And we all know the joy of a matching set is that they need little effort to look put together. See how Stacey (below) has worn hers on TikTok with knee-high flat boots? This is a key styling hack when knowing what to wear when it's hot but rainy. While I wait not-so-patiently for the Zara polka dot version to come back online, I wanted to show you some of the other windbreaker styles I rate. And yes, of course it includes that other viral £50 style from Uniqlo that's also selling out super quick. 2. Uniqlo Windproof Blouson Jacket While the off-white style has been most popular with fashion insiders (there's still a few sizes left online, FYI) the black, navy and olive green are also so classic. Water-resistant and wind-proof, it's the lightweight style you'll be grabbing as you leave the house every day from now on. 3. ASOS DESIGN Funnel Neck Sports Shirt Price: $62 Although listed as a shirt, I would say this is very much a jacket and shirt hybrid. The funnel neck and drawstring waist is very similar to the Zara viral style, but I love how it has smarter buttons and a more tailored fit. And it's in the key colours this season – butter yellow + chocolate brown. 4. Ganni Leopard Print Nylon Jacket A different kind of spot, this leopard print Ganni jacket is firmly on my wish list. I fully appreciate the oversized fit on this one, perfect for layering later on in the year. Leopard not your thing? You can also get it in black or khaki. 5. Lululemon Always Effortless Classic-Fit Jacket Quite literally designed for those in-betweeny weather days we've been having, this clever jacket has an air vent at the back so you don't get sweaty, a packable hood in case it rains (it's also water-resistant) and a drawstring waist so you can keep out the wind. Plus, it comes in six different colors – genius. 6. Carter Check Water Resistant Shell Jacket Polka dots not your vibe? Then try checks instead. Grunge '90s style plaid prints were all over the catwalks for spring/summer 2025, so try out the trend with this shell jacket. The water-resistant style will also be wind-proof thanks to the hood, adjustable waist and stretch cuff sleeves. 7. H&M Water-Repellant Popover Jacket Removing the need to have to do it up (I'm all for a lazy item) this pull-over style from H&M in butter yellow is so dreamy. Another wind-proof and water-resistant style, it also has a hood that packs in on itself and comes in another colour, light brown. H&M wins again. 8. Monki Windbreaker Nylon Jacket Made from recycled nylon, this brown jacket is such a nice alternative to classic black. That hood will come in so handy with an unexpected downpour and I love how it looks cinched at the waist with a mini skirt. 9. Moncler Valencay Jacket If you're fully invested in the practical jacket trend and want a style you can love for years, Moncler is the destination to find it. That doesn't mean it has to be your typical everyday colour, though, I've fallen for this blush pink water-resistant style that's made to be super light – ideal to take on the morning commute.

What does your summer spritz say about you? From Sabrina Carpenter's Limoncello to Charlie XCX's Aperol…
HUGO WITH THE FLOW What does your summer spritz say about you? From Sabrina Carpenter's Limoncello to Charlie XCX's Aperol… Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SUN'S out, spritz out - to celebrate National Spritz Day (August 1), it's time to get the drinks on ice. We've rounded up the biggest spritz stars of summer 2025 for you to choose from - and to find out which celeb you're most like, according to your tipple. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Are you all over the spritz du jour, the Hugo? Maybe you're sweet like Sabrina Carpenter, or a girl about town like supermodel Cara Delevingne? There's a spritz out there for everyone - and the supermarkets are getting involved this summer, with a host of new products to try. 6 Nothing says summer like a spritz! Credit: Villa Massa Find out which recipe has soared in searches by more than 50% in the last three months, plus how to perfect your spritzing at home. So, what's it going to be? 6 Charlie XCX isn't ready to swap her Aperol out just yet Credit: Getty Images, Aperol Aperol Spritz... Like Charlie XCX Once the only spritz to be seen with, the OG has fallen down the hot list, as summer 2025 has seen a raft of rivals be labelled as cooler options. So, anyone still reaching for the Aperol is clearly a leader rather than a follower - like Charlie, you don't give a fig what other people think and you'll drink what you like. Having recently got married in a classic Vivienne Westwood dress in a low-key register office ceremony, we're sure there was an Aperol or two on the cards to help the singer celebrate. After all, it's a classic. 6 Sophie Turner is a fan of the elegant Hugo Spritz - AKA 2025's most fashionable Credit: Getty Images, St-Germain Hugo Spritz... Like Sophie Turner Fresh and elegant, the Hugo spritz is the drink of summer 2025 and loved by all you chic, on-trend girlies, who heart an Insta-perfect drinks party. Game Of Thrones actress Sophie enjoys it so much she's even put her face to the delectable St-Germain elderflower liqueur brand used in the Hugo. And with Google searches for Hugos rising by over 350% in one weekend this summer, Lidl has launched its own version for just £4.49 a bottle, in stores now. The sparkling blend of prosecco and elderflower is perfect for summer get-togethers, appealing to all you social spritzers! To mix your own, add ice to a wine glass, pour in 45ml St-Germain, add fresh mint, top with 60ml sparkling wine and 60ml soda water. Stir and garnish with a lime wedge. 6 When life gives her lemons, Sabrina orders a Limoncello Spritz Credit: Getty Images, Villa Massa Limoncello Spritz... Like Sabrina Carpenter You might think the singer favours an Espresso, but her fave summer tipple is this refreshing, lemony spritz that won't fail to give you zest for life and has seen Google searches soar by 50% this summer so far. Just like the drink, you're bubbly and sweeter than the average spritz fan - and no stranger to a party. Sounds like a bit of you? Get involved with Villa Massa Limoncello, £25.57, from Tesco, made using lemons from Italy's Amalfi Coast. Add ice to 30ml of limoncello, top with 90ml prosecco, 30ml soda water and 2 fresh lemon slices. And for a showgirl twist a la Sabrina, dip the rim of your glass into a mix of freshly grated lemon zest and caster sugar. 6 Cara Delevingne's range of canned spritzes are a festival essential Credit: Getty Images, Della Vite Festival Spritz... Like Cara Delevingne If your summer diary is a blur of festivals, picnics and spontaneity, like Cara D, you need a RTD spritz. You like to keep your options open, you're a people person and a girl about town, and the Della Vite spritz cans come in five different twists, from the Sicilian to the Bellini Spritz, all using Ms Delevingne's own Della Vite Prosecco as a base. As Cara herself says: "They're made to be cracked open whenever and wherever. They're fun and bold... All you need is a bit of sunshine and some great company, and you can aperitivo anywhere." Funkin Cocktails has also just launched a Raspberry Spritz and a Limoncello Spritz, £2.30 a can, from Tesco. 6 If you're a low or no-alcohol lover like Florence Welch, this new launch is for you Credit: Getty Images, Fever-Tree Non-Alcoholic Spritz... Like Florence Welch You don't need to get boozy to unleash your main character energy, and, like the teetotal Florence + The Machine singer, you favour a barefoot, boho aesthetic. The new Fever-Tree Non-Alcoholic Italian Spritz, £1.90, from Sainsbury's and Waitrose & Partners, is just the ticket for chucking in your fringed suede hobo bag. Expertly blended to capture those Italian Riviera vibes, this is one top-notch tinny.

Wondering What The Lionesses Wore This Weekend? You Can Shop Their Exact Looks Now
@Getty Images/RICHARD POHLE M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Few things bring the nation together like our national football team winning a major trophy. It's a tale as old as time: a country collectively losing its voice, nerves and any sense of decorum over a football game. Of course, there are also hundreds of stereotypes that unite us, like our love of tea, fish and chips and the pure joy we feel when another bank holiday is announced. But nothing feels as exciting as seeing our Lionesses win the UEFA European Women's Championship, for the second time, might I add. After a 1-1 draw at full time, the match went to penalties, where Chloe Kelly, scored the winning goal. While the rest of us were dressed head-to-toe in football kits with flags in hand, the Lionesses returned home on Monday wearing pieces from their own collaboration with another British legend, Marks & Spencer. The limited-edition collection, made up of 13 pieces, launched ahead of the tournament on 26th June, and is the final drop from the three-year partnership between the English FA and M&S - though the brand's relationship with the sport stretches all the way back to 2007. And, much like the Lionesses' performance this summer, the M&S X England collection doesn't disappoint. ©Getty Images/Dan Kitwood The best part of the collection? You don't have to win a major trophy or even be on the field to wear it. In fact, the collection is packed full of tailored co-ords and structured separates, a world away from muddy socks and battered shinpads. Maddy Evans, Director of M&S Women, describes it as: 'championing style and versatility and underpinned by new modern shapes, it's a collection for an incredible team of women, who are role models to the nation.' A couple of standouts from the collaboration include its Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers, and its Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer that's perfect for those office days where it's far too hot to wear a full-sleeved blazer. It will probably come as no surprise that the collection has been met with quite the reaction - much of it is already out of stock online and in stores. But, there are a couple of pieces still available, if (and that's a big if), you move fast. ©Instagram/@irma_bruzaite M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer If you're on the hunt for a blazer you can wear in the warmer months, M&S has the answer. Cut in a flattering fit, the blazer has smart notched lapels, as well as handy welt pockets. Style with a pair of tailored trousers or boxy shorts. If you're currently wondering what to wear to celebrate the Lionesses' win, the answer may not lie in your vintage England shirt and bucket hat, but in a crisp pair of pleated Bermuda shorts and a waistcoat top. Shop the pieces that are still available, as well as excellent alternatives below. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers If you're as obsessed with barrel leg jeans as I am, you're going to want to take a look at M&S' Barrel Leg Trousers. Available in two different colours, an ecru and soft green, the trousers feature pleats down the front as well as pockets and belt loops. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green If the barrel leg shape isn't your style, and you prefer something a little more timeless, the trousers also come in a wide-leg. Finished with the same soft pleats at the front, pair with a boxy t-shirt and loafers. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black The same wide-leg style is also available in a black, which will go with everything you already have in your wardrobe. Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat Nobody's Child has a great alternative if you want the Lioness look. Its Cropped Waistcoat features a V-neck crossover and double-breasted buttons to bring polish to any outfit, even if you're just wearing jeans. ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat ASOS also has an asymmetric alternative, this time in a linen-look material that's sure to keep you cool this summer. Finish the outfit with a satin midi skirt and a pair of colourful ballet flats. Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Zara is truly in its tailoring era at the moment, as there are so many excellent work outfits on site right now. This asymmetric waistcoat is almost identical to the M&S one spotted on the Lionesses, complete with the same buttoned detailing and dark colour. Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer If you, too, want to get in on the short-sleeved blazer hype, I've found another popular style from Mint Velvet. Its peaked lapels, flap pockets and statement button at the front all make it the perfect blazer to wear on office days. Reformation, Wren Blazer Reformation has also designed a short-sleeved blazer, and its style is created with an intentionally slim-fit, yet is also somewhat oversized (so take this as your sign to size down if you like your blazers more fitted). Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Zara's Straight-Leg Trousers have a high waist that's perfect for pairing with the matching asymmetric waistcoat top and front pockets. Wear as a co-ord, or style the trousers with a boxy tee, leather jacket and Adidas trainers. Gemma Lavers is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia, where she tracks down viral pieces and is as comfortable navigating the M&S new-in page as she is dissecting the latest celebrity look. When not writing, shopping or at Reformer Pilates (a cliché but she's hooked), Gemma will likely be planning her next holiday (and what she's going to wear). For a glimpse into said travels, outfit inspo and life as a journalist, follow her on Instagram or TikTok.
