And although purchasing a fan or making your own air conditioner may be your first thought, treating yourself to a weather-appropriate frock can make a huge difference.
Sainsbury's Tu is one of the best-loved brands on the high street, and is constantly wowing us with its stylish but affordable fashion.
From cute dresses to on-trend work attire, the supermarket fast-fashion range always hits the mark, and its new summer collection is no exception.
Sainsbury's Summer Dress
One dress in particular that has caught the attention of fashion fans is the White Structured Midaxi Summer Dress.
The elegant white gown is perfect for dressing up for girly brunches or city sight-seeing on holiday.
The structured bodice and flared hem give the dress a flattering shape, and the dress is made of lightweight cotton, perfect for keeping cool in the heat.
Sainsbury's said: "This white dress is an elegant choice for summer outings. Designed with a structured bodice and a flared hem for a flattering shape.
"Cut to a midaxi length, it has been made from a lightweight, cotton-rich fabric, perfect for warmer days."
The gorgeous frock is available in a wide range of sizes, from size 6 to size 24.
However, it has proved so popular with fashion fans that it has already sold out in some sizes.
Sainsbury's scraps in-store changing rooms leaving shoppers furious
The dress, which can be purchased in store or online, is priced at just £30, making it purse-friendly buy.
Shoppers React
Raving about the frock on the Tu website, one shopper said: "I bought this dress as a curvy size 20 and told myself that it would not fit …..but it was stunning!
"I felt special in it and confident."
A second person said: "I never leave reviews, but this dress is beautiful.
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 cut and style are akin to a premium brand. It's stunning!"
A third person said: "Beautiful dress, fully lined and top quality material.
"Great fit and cut even for plus-size people like me. Looks way more expensive than it is."
Designer Dupe
The Sainbury's dress looks strikingly similar to the Everett Linen Dress, which is priced at £298.
This makes the Tu dress a whopping £268 cheaper.
Both dresses have a similar structured bodice and flared hem, but the premium buy comes in a wider range of colours, including pink and blue.

BBC failure to stop Glastonbury antisemitism rant ‘a national shame' blasts Chief Rabbi as fury mounts
BBC boss Tim Davie was battered over the Glastonbury antisemitism rant yesterday — as senior politicians called for him to step down. Britain's Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, also called the failure to stop the live-streaming of death chants by punk rap act Bob Vylan a 'national shame'. 3 The Beeb was even slammed by Israeli Mazal Tazazo, survivor of the Hamas massacre at the Nova music festival, who said: 'Don't speak before you understand the cost of your words.' Sir Ephraim said: 'Airing of Jew-hatred at Glastonbury and the BBC's belated and mishandled response, brings confidence in our national broadcaster's ability to treat antisemitism seriously to a new low.' Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman said 'the Chief Rabbi is right', adding: 'The Director-General needs to go.' Ex-Attorney General Sir Michael Ellis declared 'heads must roll' and agreed Mr Davie must leave after the BBC took five hours to remove iPlayer footage of the band chanting 'death, death to the IDF'. Sir Michael told GB News: 'I think it's time now for Tim Davie, as Director-General of the BBC, to go. 'We cannot have the situation that we have now seen at Glastonbury being broadcast on our airwaves.' Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice added: 'Someone has to be held responsible.' But last night No 10 said PM Sir Keir Starmer has 'full confidence' in Mr Davie. In a statement, Bob Vylan said they were being targeted for speaking up, saying: 'We are not for the death of Jews. 'We are for dismantling a violent military machine.' 3 3

EXCLUSIVE Living Nostradamus reveals why Ivanka Trump's attendance at Sanchez-Bezos wedding could kickstart her reinvention
A psychic has made a prediction about Ivanka Trump 's future after she attended 'the wedding of the century' between Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Italy last weekend - and it could be the start of her reinvention. Having left the White House after serving as Presidential Advisor during dad Donald Trumps's first term in 2021, she and husband Jared Kushner moved to Miami with their three children, where they have become fixtures of the social scene once again. Ivanka and Jared were among those of 200 high-powered guests who witnessed the union between the happy couple on Friday, which took place in Venice in a restored amphitheater on the island. They were joined by the entirety of the Kardashian family, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Oprah, Gayle King, and other various A-listers. Ivanka stunned in a salmon-pink strapless gown from Tony Ward Couture, which featured silver bedazzled floral detailing and cutouts, along with a slit in the leg. She paired the look with a pair of strappy silver heels and minimal jewelry, while her husband kept it simple in a navy blue suit and black bowtie. The two seemed to have a great time at the days-long celebrations hosted by the newly married couple, which included a lavish welcome dinner Thursday and a star-studded rave after Friday's ceremony. It was a weekend full of mingling, and with tons of VIPs on their guest list, could this have really have just been a good networking opportunity for Ivanka? Psychic Athos Salomé, 38, from Brazil, sees a lot of opportunity coming from her attendance at this wedding, both professionally and socially. Salomé, who is often referred to as the Living Nostradamus, told the Daily Mail that Ivanka is 'not running away from the past - she's trying to buy it back with a new storyline,' explaining that her trip to Venice was just 'the first chapter.' He has been dubbed the 'Living Nostradamus' due to his numerous accurate predictions - including his forecasting of the coronavirus pandemic, Queen Elizabeth II's death and the Microsoft global outage. Salomé calculated a combined probability of 70 percent that Ivanka will convert her Venetian weekend into at least one or two concrete contracts - book, series or fashion collection - within the next 18 months. He believes that the biggest project that could come from this weekend would be a third book, as the timing is 'perfect.' Ivanka has already authored two books - The Trump Card, published in 2009, and Women Who Work, published in 2017. 'Premium publishers are looking for behind-the-scenes White House memoirs that don't exalt Trumpism, in line with the electoral climate of 2028, when the public will be hungry for "clean" versions of history,' Salomé revealed exclusively to 'By the second half of 2026, she should announce a book with Amazon Publishing,' the clairvoyant predicted. Salomé calculated a combined probability of 70 per cent that Ivanka will convert her Venetian weekend into at least one or two concrete contracts - book, series or fashion collection - within the next 18 months Of course, Bezos is the founder of Amazon, and her friend Sánchez has now married the billionaire businessman. This could prove lucrative in other areas for Donald Trump's daughter. Salomé also predicted a 50 percent chance that the weekend could also lead to a docu-series project for Ivanka. 'The connection with Jeff Bezos isn't just for selfies,' Salomé said. 'It offers direct access to Amazon Prime Video, whose catalogue has an appetite for behind-the-scenes content about public figures,' he shared. He envisions Ivanka being involved in a short-format project in partnership with Amazon, with 'four episodes on women's philanthropy in emerging markets.' The Living Nostradamus explained that this would be 'an easy product to approve' and one that was 'excellent for image cleaning.' But there is one project that the psychic believes will have a low chance of happening after her Venice networking - and that's a revival of her fashion brand. For many years, Ivanka had her own fashion label that was sold in stores like Nordstrom, Marshalls and Neiman Marcus. The brand was shut down in July 2018, and Salomé said he only sees a 25 percent chance of her trying to bring it back to life. But if she were to try, he recommends a 'limited capsule collection with recycled fabrics and a carbon-neutral footprint, co-signed with a luxury maison.' 'It's the kind of project that the Bezos Earth Fund would love to sponsor,' he said, while adding a warning that the 'luxury sector' still fears 'political backlash' - a big reason why he's unsure of such a project happening. And, as many have criticized the luxurious weekend held by the Amazon power couple last weekend, the clairvoyant warns that any project Ivanka does in the future must 'prove a green commitment' in order for her to avoid backlash. Ivanka and her husband Jared's appearance at the Italian wedding came just days after he had revealed to New York Post's Well Spent information about his parenting routine in Miami. They live in a $24 million mega mansion on Miami's Indian Creek Island, which boasts six bedrooms and 8.5 baths, and was purchased after their swift exit from Washington, D.C. He went into detail about his regimen after the outlet asked him if he's made any 'key changes' to his morning routine in recent years. 'I go into the office later and schedule fewer meetings,' Kushner explained. 'After I make my kids breakfast and send them to school, I take more time in the morning to read, think, walk, exercise, listen to podcasts and return phone calls, [which] gives me the ability to go into the office more centered and intentional,' he shared.

Who is Wimbledon's most glamorous player Dayana Yastremska: Instagram model & party host who is allergic to grass
DAYANA YASTREMSKA is one of the most glamorous players on the tennis circuit - combining her impressive athletic ability with a sensational social media showing. Here's everything you need to know about Dayana, who is competing at the Wimbledon for the 2025 edition of the Slam. 5 5 5 Who is Dayana Yastremska? Dayana Yastremska, the world No 42 in ladies' tennis, was born on May 15, 2000, in Odesa, Ukraine. She not only racks up impressive on-court achievements — she's also a versatile social media star with a glamorous lifestyle and magnetic public image. Dayana is an Instagram model and a popular party host, often sharing stylish snaps showing off her fantastic fashion sense and stylish social life. As of July 1, 2025, she has over 215k followers on the platform. Her profile feed is filled with chic outfits, glamorous photo shoots and lavish parties. Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 Tennis Dayana rose rapidly through the professional tennis ranks, making a name for herself with a powerful baseline game and aggressive style. She first caught the tennis world's attention when she won her maiden WTA title at the 2018 Hong Kong Open at just 18 years old. Since then, Dayana has secured three WTA singles titles and achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 21 in January 2020. Her breakthrough on the Grand Slam stage came at the 2024 Australian Open, where she reached the semi-finals. Despite her on-court successes, Dayana's journey has not been without hurdles. Ban scare In 2021, she received a provisional doping ban after testing positive for a prohibited substance. She protested her innocence and six months later was allowed to play again after an independent tribunal ruled that her positive test was merely the result of contamination. Dayana subsequently struggled to return to her former ranking. Fleeing war In February 2022, she was forced to leave her home with her sister after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Odesa-born star posted a picture of herself alongside her younger sister Ivanna, writing: "After spending two nights in the underground parking, my parents made a decision at any cost to send me and my little sister out of Ukraine. "Mom, Dad, we love you very much, take care of yourself!!! I love you my country! Ukrainians take care of your lives." 5 Dayana, who chose to pursue tennis having been a promising swimmer and gymnast, was eventually joined in France by her mum Marina, while dad Ivan remained in Ukraine. Hidden talent During the pandemic, Yastremska showed off one of her other keen interests by releasing two singles. Her songs Thousands of Me and Favourite Track were released in the summer of 2020, and she recently teased that she had some new music in the works. "In February I hope that one new song will come out," she teased. Grass allergy One of the most fascinating and somewhat ironic aspects of Dayana's story is her allergy to grass — the very surface she will be competing at Wimbledon. Despite this allergy, she has shown remarkable grit and adaptability. In June 2025, she made history by becoming the first Ukrainian player in 17 years to reach a WTA Tour final on grass at the Nottingham Open. She has openly talked about the discomfort her allergy causes — but also expressed her love for playing tennis on grass courts.
