River Island's Chanel-inspired cardigan in trending colour of the season is set to fly off shelves
Chanel-inspired cardigans became a huge trend last year, with hundreds of brands dropping their own versions of the designer-looking pieces. M&S largely led the way on this, releasing various colourways and patterns, but other retailers followed suit, including H&M, Next, and River Island.
It seems that the trend is not going away anytime soon in 2025, with new styles cropping up as brands begin to transition into autumn/winter releases.
And after doing our weekly scroll through the River Island website, we spotted a gorgeous Chanel-esque cardigan that we predict will be flying off the shelves.
The Yellow Long Sleeve Boucle Edge Cardigan, priced at £49, is available in the trending colour of the season, butter yellow, which is why we think a sell-out is on its way.
Butter yellow has been everywhere this spring and summer, and it will continue into the new season. With its classic round neck, autum weather-appropriate long sleeves, and cute button-up front, this is kind of the cardigan that you can just throw on and go and feel put together.
The textured boucle trim adds a touch of luxe that is reminiscent of designer styles like Chanel, while the gold buttons have a Balmain feel to them.
A subtle shimmer is woven through the soft acryclic blend making this the ideal cardigan for days when you want to dress up a little or elevate your simple everyday outfit.
Chuck it on over jeans, tailored trousers, dresses and skirts for a comfy layer that is ideal for summer evenings when the temperature drops or transitioning into the autumn.
If you're looking for a cardigan that still has that designer look, but is more appropriate for warmer weather, Marks & Spencer's Cotton Blend Textured Button Front Cropped Cardigan, priced at £36, is such a versatile piece to add to your wardrobe.
Altnernatively, Lipsy's Ivory Buttoned Crew Neck Knit Cardigan, priced at £50, is a smarter style that you could dress up for work or layer of dresses at more formal events. And it still has that luxe look for a fraction of the designer price tag.

M&S shoppers bag 'crease resistant' trousers in five colours that 'go with everything'
Combine effortless style and comfort with these trousers that are perfect for summer. When it comes to wardrobe basics, no other retailer does it quite like M&S. No matter the season, there is always something we can wear time and time again. With it officially being vacation season and the UK experiencing multiple heatwaves in a row, there's no denying that many of us could benefit from something that is both breezy and stylish. And it looks like the high street firm has impressed its customers once again, as many of them have flocked to heap praise on the Lyocell Rich Straight Leg Trousers that they say are "ideal for summer." Costing an affordable £29.50 per pair, they have been crafted from a "lightweight" Tencel-rich material that has received glowing praise for being "crease resistant", especially compared to linen, so they'll be a fuss free addition to the holiday suitcase. Designed to combine "effortless style with comfort", they have been designed in a sleek straight-leg design, alongside a flattering high-waist with an adjustable drawstring to create the perfect fit. Lyocell Rich Straight Leg Trousers £29.50 M&S Buy here Product Description Handy hip and back pockets offer a handy finishing touch. With their simple design, these trousers can be paired with anything, whether that be sandals and a vest top during the day, or dressed up with fancy heels and a bodysuit for evening events. Designed in short/petite, regular and long, they are available in sizes six through to 24. There's also a selection of five colours to choose from - black, soft, white, beige, poppy and midnight navy - but some are selling out fast. Shoppers who can't find their size in stock can potentially check out New Look's Linen Look Wide Leg Trousers as an alternative, as they offer three colours for £29.99. Another flattering, breezy design we have spotted on the high street are these Black Hareem Trousers from Next that can be purchased for £36. Meanwhile, M&S' Lyocell Trousers are gaining quite a bit of attention, averaging an impressive 4.4 rating based on over 100 reviews from shoppers who have praised the "crease-free" material and "comfortable" design for summer. One delighted shopper praised: "Wore these over a long weekend away in 23c heat. Fantastically comfy and seemed to be crease resistant into the bargain! Will be ordering more." Someone else praised: "Hurrah for a crease-free summer with Lyocell! I have these trousers in ALL colours, both full and cropped lengths. "Lyocell is surely the fabric of the future. I'll never buy linen or linen mix again - you end up looking like you've slept in them even after a few minutes wear. These trousers fall beautifully and look classy. I cannot recommend them enough." Fashion deal of the week New Balance has just launched a massive sale ahead of the summer, with up to half-price off. Hate that break in period with stiff footwear?

Shoppers can't stop praising the New Balance RC42 Shoes, as they have earned a 4.2 rating and glowing reviews for their "comfortable" design that means they "don't even have to break them in." One five-star review read: "Very cute and comfortable right out of the box. On trend and has a somewhat cushioned midsole—perfect for wearing all day." Another fashion fan added: "Love these trousers. Have bought a second pair in the same colour as they go with everything!" A few shoppers did advise that they found the material to be see-through, particularly with the white colourway, as one two-star review read: "Would have been cool and comfortable with adjustable waist, but see through and unusually too long." Someone else who left a five-star review praised: "Very comfortable, though they loosen quite a bit. Wash so easily & can get away with not ironing!" M&S' Lyocell Rich Straight Leg Trousers are available to buy for £29.50 online now.

B&M shoppers can't get enough of bargain teacher's gift that's scanning at tills for just 25p
B&M has slashed the price of a bargain gift, perfect for giving to teachers, to just 25p. With the school summer holidays just around the corner, many parents are likely racing around, desperate to find a gift to thank their kids' teachers for their hard work. However, with some teachers slamming parents who buy flowers or tacky mugs, it can be tricky to know what to get. Thankfully, B&M has the perfect budget buy that won't break the bank. The Mini Frosted Candle has been slashed from 98p to just 25p, a saving of 74%. It comes in three gorgeous scents, apricot and amber, melon musk and peach and patchouli, that are guaranteed to make teachers feel relaxed and at peace after a long year. The stylish candle has a burn time of up to eight hours, making it perfect for lighting when you're in the bath, or cosying up to watch a film. Plus, it comes in a chic glass container that will instantly elevate the look of your home. B&M said: "This Mini Frosted Candle will fill your home with its sweet scent all day long. "A great addition to your home decor." More teacher gifts If the candle doesn't tickle your fancy, another great gift idea is Lidl's £2.99 rose plant. I'm a teacher & there are four end of term gifts I can't STAND receiving The stunning flowers which cost less than a fiver are bound to put a smile on any teacher 's face. And their rosy red petals will last all the way until autumn - making the gift extremely cost efficient and long lasting. The plants are perfect for small gardens and patios. But they are also suitable for growing indoors, the product description says. Should you buy a teacher a gift? IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further... As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids' teachers a present to mark the end of term. Sarah said: "It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school. "But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids' teachers too. "With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business. "And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation. "After all - I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day - so don't they deserve a token of appreciation? "I also wouldn't want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers. "While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I'll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I'll be buying for. "And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget." It also details how the mini plants can grow between 26cm and 30cm tall. Or if you're children's teacher is a chocoholic, why not treat them to a box of Quality Street. Tesco has been revealed as the cheapest shop to buy the chocs with the supermarket selling a 220g carton of Quality Street for £3 if you have a Clubcard (or £4 without). You can sign up for a Clubcard for free and download the app onto your smartphone via Google Play or the Apple App Store. Shoppers buying the chocs with a Clubcard are paying £1.36 per 100g and those without one £1.82 per 100g.

This is the one item that will get you through August
School's out for summer — but for those who aren't beach bound, the matter of summer attire that extends beyond a bikini continues to require our engagement. It's bad enough you've got to work for the entirety of August, so what to wear? We pride ourselves on focusing on solutions not problems here on the Style fashion desk, which is why we're drawing your attention to the billowy white skirt: your one-suits-all clothing companion. The item you need to see you through stuffy commutes, overly air-conned meetings, summery soirées and everything in between, this is the foundation on which your August can be built. Despite the sales stock filling stores right now, the white skirt remains a hot purchase. M&S has a lovely cotton one. See also Arket for its Nineties-inspired model, and Mango has a version with just the right amount of swish. The white skirt is a big hit at the luxury end of the market too. We love Toteme's take, with a front split and a balloony silhouette. • Read more fashion advice and style inspiration from our experts Feeding directly into this summer's big monochrome moment (do keep up: wearing black and white is an obsession for fashion purists right now), this skirt looks best teamed with classics. A simple singlet vest will do just fine. Those who like a bit more structure should try it with a waistcoat. On the matter of footwear, flat sandals are your friends here. Add a jacket if it's chilly; a slouchy blazer is a good plan. We also love an oversized shirt with a relaxed shape. It's summertime and the living is easy — this is the look to match the mood.
