Zara McDermott's new launch includes must-have butter yellow playsuit for summer
When Zara McDermott first launched her clothing brand, Rise, last year it focussed mainly on comfortable gym wear, but since then each new launch has brought something new, with her last collection centering on swimwear. And now her newest drop is all about summer staples, with a pastel colour scheme and comfy, easy to style basics that will instantly update your wardrobe.
Amongst the candy-coloured separates is the Rise by Zara McDermott Light Yellow Scuba Zip Playsuit, which comes in this season's top trending colour; butter yellow. Priced at £45 its an easy affordable piece that can be worn in multiple ways, and it's now available to shop via New Look, where the Rise brand is stocked.
It's made from scuba material which gives it some structure and shape without being rigid, and keeps it lightweight and comfortable to wear even when it's hot. It has a flattering silhouette, with an elasticated waistband which helps nip you in at the waist and counters the more relaxed, loose fitting shape of the shorts and top.
The Light Yellow Scuba Zip Playsuit features wide-leg A-line shorts and a short sleeved collared shirt which gives it a slightly smarter feel that can be easily styled for multiple occasions. You could wear it with some trainers and a tote bag for a day at the beach or out sightseeing on holiday, or wear with some sandals and statement jewellery for a dinner in the sun.
If you prefer something that looks a little less casual, this ASOS DESIGN Double Cloth Gathered Bust Playsuit is £30 and features a plunging V-neckline with adjustable ties, a fitted waist, and pleated details to give it some extra movement. It comes in a pale yellow 'buttermilk' colour, as well as other pastel shades like pink and green.
For a more sporty look, this 4505 Active Halter Neck Tennis Dress With Under Shorts is £35 also at ASOS, and whilst it looks like a mini dress, it has hidden shorts underneath. Although it's designed to be activewear, you could just as easily wear it out and about with chunky sandals and some oversized sunglasses.
However if you want to snap up Zara's Light Yellow Scuba Zip Playsuit, or see the rest of her newest collection, you can shop them all at New Look now.

'Very comfortable' Next summer co-ord is perfect for warm office days
The striped matching set from Next is loved by shoppers who struggle to put together an outfit for the hot weather and it's now been reduced in a sale When the office starts to feel more like a sauna than a workspace, dressing for the heatwave can quickly become a challenge. That is where a co-ord comes in - a simple, polished set that keeps shoppers cool and comfortable but without sacrificing style. The Striped Textured Waistcoat and Straight Leg Trousers from Next are perfect for warmer days. With lightweight cotton fabrics and relaxed fits, the white and black striped co-ords offer an easy way to stay fresh and put-together as the mercury rises. The tailored straight-leg trousers retail at £32, while the matching waistcoat is on a half-price offer, reduced from £28 to £14. Thus, shoppers can get the outfit for £46 instead of 60. Next is selling beauty box with £90 worth of makeup, skincare and more for £20 Medik8's SPF50 that's an 'absolute gem of a find' for heatwave week is 20% off Customers can pick the trousers in either regular or petite length between UK4 and UK26. Featuring belt loops, front pleats and slit pockets, the trousers are perfect for office days and also off-duty holiday fits. Those who prefer a less formal look can consider the ASOS DESIGN Textured Straight Leg Trousers in khaki stripe, £28. The pull-on design has a stretch back waistband for maximum comfort. New Look has reduced the Apricot Cream Pinstripe Wide Leg Trousers from £30 to £20. It features a similar stripe pattern as the Next pair and a full elasticated drawstring waistband. The Next co-ord is lauded by five-star shoppers, one shared: "Lovely trousers that fit perfectly, love the elasticated part at the back and button front with deep pockets. Nice material and colour. I got lots of compliments when wearing the trousers with the co-ord. They are very light and comfortable and stylish/on trend." "Very comfortable. Also, as a short person, the petite version means no alterations were required," a second wrote while a third loved that the trousers "don't crease" and "won't need much ironing". But a shopper who purchased the matching vest left a two-star review and commented: "Sizing not in proportion." Another added: "Lovely trousers, a bit on the small side had to size up but the shirt length was perfect, as I am 5'2'." The Next co-ord has been popular among fashion lovers as some prefer to wear the matching set. For those with more budget to spend, Whistles' Neutral Linen Stripe Waistcoat is crafted from 100% linen and is complemented with flap pockets and a back fastening to gently define the waist. Aligne's Jate Striped Wrap Waistcoat, currently marked down from £99 to £49.49, offers a wrap style instead of a button-front design.

Millie Mackintosh's ‘comfiest jeans ever' hail from Kate Middleton's go-to denim brand
Millie Mackintosh hailed her flared 70s-style jeans the 'comfiest jeans ever' and they hail from the same brand that Kate Middleton buys her favourite jeans from Trying to find a pair of jeans that are comfortable, well-fitting and look great can be one of the biggest struggles when it comes to shopping. After countless hours spent sweating in changing rooms trying to find a pair that make you feel great, it's no surprise many of us find shopping for denim one of our least favourite jobs. However Millie Mackintosh might have cracked the code, as she posed in a pair of & Other Stories' High-Waist Flared Jeans on Instagram last week. She praised them as 'The comfiest jeans ever', and it seems the brand might be a winner when it comes to denim as they're also the go-to for Kate Middleton. Princess Kate is a known fan of & Other Stories' Slim Jeans (formerly known as the Favourite Jeans), which are notoriously tricky to get your hands on. The closest style available on the website right now is the Cropped Slim Leg Jeans (£77) which have a similar slim fit that The Princess of Wales favours. Millie's pair, thankfully, are much easier to get your hands on. Her High-Waist Flared Jeans are currently available directly from the & Other Stories website, over at ASOS, and at H&M, where they're priced at £87. The jeans have a classic 70s-inspired fit, with a high waist and flared bootcut leg, and the addition of two patch pockets on the front seals the deal on the retro design. The high waist keeps them comfortable and helps elongate your legs, and the wider legs makes them perfect for wearing with anything from sandals to boots, so you can wear them in every season. They're also made with plenty of stretch, which is what makes them so comfortable that Millie can't stop raving about them. You can pick them up in dark blue, as well as a light ecru colour, which is currently on sale at ASOS down from £87 to £69, and several other colours ways if you shop them at H&M. Other brands have also launched their own version of the 70s-style jeans, with White Stuff's Frankie Flare Jean now on sale for £52, down from £65 and available in sizes six to 24. Marks & Spencer also has the ultra-affordable Patch Pocket Flare High Waisted Jeans for £39.50, with a choice of three different colours and sizes six to 24. For a slimmer fit that keeps the same shape and style, New Look's Blue Patch Pocket Flared Denim Jeans are £39.99 and have a tighter fit around the hips and thighs, before flaring out from the knee. They come in sizes six to 18, with all sizes currently still in stock.

Cara Delevingne reveals how Topshop inspired her fashion sense - as brand relaunches in London
Fashion brand Topshop celebrated its relaunch with its first catwalk in seven years. The company's website promised everyone was invited as models strutted down a runway on Trafalgar Square in front of noughties fashion icons Cara Delevingne and Adwoa Aboah and the London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan. The label has been operating on the online fashion platform ASOS after ceasing to operate as a standalone business in 2020. Its previous owner, Sir Philip Green's Arcadia group, collapsed into administration and all of Topshop's physical stores - including the Oxford Circus flagship in London's West End - closed soon after. Delevingne told Sky News she was "totally blown away" by the relaunch event. "It was like nostalgia mixed with something eclectic but also something brand new," she said. "For me, it really brings back a time of exploration of my own fashion sense because I think for me at Topshop I got to discover so much." The model, who is working on a capsule collection for next year, has already unveiled a choice edit in this year's show and said her relationship with Topshop precedes her fame. She said: "I would go in and my friends would be like 'you would look good in that' and I would go 'no, that's not really me', and then you'd try it on and be like 'oh maybe I can explore more'. "They really have everything for everyone, and I feel like they brought that back." The runway showcased highlights from its Autumn-Winter 2025 collection, as well as an early preview of pieces set to drop later this season, including showstopper gowns, the classic white tee, and an aloe vera-coloured faux fur coat that surely should not have been on display - to prevent just about everyone rushing to buy it. But sharp tailoring and statement outerwear suggest the brand is ready to reclaim the high street. Must-have denim pieces completed the womenswear line-up while the Topman collection screamed modern utility by blending refined formal wear with sharp new silhouettes. Casual pieces are grounded by authentic denim in deep indigos, which stood out on Trafalgar Square's magnificent stone steps. Topshop's relaunch comes as the high street continues to struggle and as the UK operation of Chinese fashion giant Shein announced pre-tax profits of £38.3m for the year, up some £14m from 2023. 'Top end of the market' Moses Rashid, global marketing director at Topshop/Topman said they are competing in a different space. "We're at the top end of the market. We're about elevation. We pride ourselves on the quality of the product," he said. Those products are being designed in north London, and managing director Michelle Wilson said the aim is to stay that way. "We are a British brand, we want to be a positive force for fashion. We want to bring London to the world. It's fundamental to who we are as a brand, our style is very much London-driven." The majority Danish-owned company has suggested it will slow fashion down by opening physical stores where customers can touch the products, browse collections and try things on, though the flagship on Oxford Circus is unlikely to return because a Swedish fast furniture brand has since occupied the space. Designer Wayne Hemingway has previously collaborated with Topshop and said the relaunch must be more than nostalgia. "They can't rely on their old customers because their old customers have now got kids of their own to spend their money on, and they've got mortgages and all of those things of what being an adult means. "They've got to have designers, marketeers, people who understand - who are on the pulse - who understood, number one, what was a success back then, and also a young generation of people who are there saying, 'this is what our generation needs', and who are bright and can help deliver that. They can't rely on the past."
