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.

How to save money on Christmas shopping Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping. Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb. Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents. Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales. Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though. Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25. Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent. Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts. They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.

The secret meaning behind your teen's ‘salute' pose & why Gen Zers like Venezuela Fury do it in family photos
ANY parent of teenagers knows the agony of trying to get a nice family photo on holiday. They say it's "embarrassing" and even if they do oblige, they often sneakily try to ruin it. Their current method of sabotage? The 'salute'. So what's it all about? 9 During a recent holiday to the Isle of Man, Venezuela Fury was 'saluting' in the shade 9 The Fury family snap with Venezuela, 15, doing the 'salute' while mum Paris isn't looking 9 The Barbados sunshine isn't in her eyes, either While in the past, you might have clocked the odd middle finger or a peace sign in front of their face, now it's all about holding a hand up to their forehead, military-style. Venezuela Fury, 15 - the eldest daughter to And a quick search on TikTok surfaces videos on 'how to pose' and 'how to disguise your forehead', which features just the same 'salute' pose. But, while we know parents can be embarrassing, it raises the question: Why? READ MORE ON TEENS We all know the Zoomer generation love to spend their next to beautiful landscapes rather than taking them in. So is this their attempt to control their social narrative? A show of respect or defiance? To keep their identity low-key and attempt to keep their faces out of the picture while still (sort of) appeasing their parents? We spoke to teens to find out. Teenagers Explain ... "I do it as an insecurity thing as I feel I don't photograph well unless I take the photo. I use it to hide certain angles of my face," Lexi Hamilton, 19 from London, explains. Most read in Fabulous 'I knew some girls who would do it only on their forehead because it would make their noses look smaller with the shade and their contour." While Maddy Corke, 18 , from London, also admits 'it's all about self esteem issues and wanting to hide insecurities.' 'Beautiful' fans gasps as Venezuela Fury, 15, shows off her model-looks in 'stunning' gypsy wedding co-ord Toby Kehoe and friends, 16, from Twickenham, agree it's a shyness thing. "They don't know how the photo will turn out and they can't check what they look like at that moment. If they don't have control over what the photo looks like or how it will be used, then covering their face is a safe choice," he says. Strike A Pose One TikToker called Lizzie, whose social media page has over 30 million likes, keeps people updated on the She revealed it was the perfect pose for those who are "shy about [their] forehead" and want to hide it away. "Selfie ideas to try if you're shy about your forehead," she captioned the now viral post which was viewed 133k times. 9 Venezuela has been spotted doing the 'salute' time and time again in family snaps 9 TikTok influencers like Lizzieb1zzie who has 30m likes are showing followers the 'salute' Credit: Tiktok @lizzieb1zzie 9 Lizzie showing how good the pose can look Credit: Tiktok @lizzieb1zzie 9 Social media star Lonnie Hammons also got on board with the trend Credit: TikTok @@lonniehammons Another social media star, Hidden Dangers "It's no surprise that we're seeing rising anxiety around body image, particularly during summer," she says. The charity revealed 35% of 13-19 year-olds "worry often" or "always" about their body image. They also note that social media, and the exposure to unrealistic, edited bodies and faces is the key reason body image concerns have risen in younger generations. "Teenage years are often seen as a time where they form their own personal identity in the world, " "This often leads young people to be highly focused on how others perceive them, especially when it comes to their peers, something social media has only made more significant. "Posting images online now plays a major role in their lives in self-expression and validation from others." 9 Venezuela salutes Goofy at Disney Credit: INSTAGRAM/@/parisfury1 However, she warns that it can have negative consequences like cyberbullying and body image issues. As for the 'salute' pose, she says it can be a sign of a teenager struggling with their self esteem. "Covering their face in photos can serve multiple psychological functions for teens. "It can offer a feeling of control over images shared by others, reduce vulnerability to judgement, or indicate an ambivalence between the desire to be seen and fear of negative attention," she says. "It's a gesture that may reflect the huge social and emotional balancing act of adolescence - wanting to be seen, but on their own terms." 9 Venezuela Fury - Another salute with mum Paris and her sisters on holiday Credit: INSTAGRAM/@/parisfury1 Seeking Help We all know talking to teenagers about literally anything can be tough, but there are some simple ways to help them navigate body image with 1. Positivity Help them think positively about themselves. Encourage them to focus on what they like about themselves and what they can do, not just how they look. If you're not sure what to say, try writing a list together of their good points. They can keep this list for days when they need a reminder of all the good things about themselves. 2. Talk Practise positive self-talk together. Sit together in front of a mirror and thank your bodies for all the positive things they do. This might feel a bit strange at first, but doing this together can encourage them to see the positives in their body and help them to love themselves. 3. Stay safe online Help them create a safe space online. Support them to create a positive online space and find accounts to follow that celebrate diversity. Send them messages to remind them how brilliant they are and let them know they matter. 4. Take action when needed Suggest they look for support. If you think their feelings around body image are becoming overwhelming, encourage them to see their GP for professional help.

I'm a beauty editor – these are the products I'm swearing by this summer, including a 15-min fix for tired eyes…
ANYTHING that promises instant results when it comes to skincare is an immediate red flag for me. Every dermatologist I've ever spoken to has told me you have to use products consistently for at least three weeks, and up to six, before you will start to see results with the naked eye. 7 Here's what Beauty Editor Tara Ledden is using this summer... Credit: SUPPLIED So, when 7 Erase eye bags in 15 minutes Credit: L'OREAL L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser Eye Bag Instant Eraser, £29.99 With a name like that, you're setting yourself up for failure, I thought, but I took it home to try. I put it on that night, expecting to roll my eyes when it inevitably didn't live up to the claims, but within minutes my under-eyes were smoother and less puffy. I put it down to the fact my bags aren't that bad – I'm 29, and I only have a couple of fine lines in the area, so I'm definitely not the target market. READ MORE IN BEAUTY Determined to put it through its paces, I asked my mum to give it a go. I didn't expect her results to be even better than mine, easily knocking a decade off her appearance. I can't imagine she'll use it every day – it comes with strict instructions not to make facial movements for the 15 minutes it takes to dry, and you have to apply the pea-sized amount with tapping motions rather than rubbing it in – but I'm sure it'll be her special-occasion secret weapon. Speaking of secret weapons, I've found a warm-weather essential where I least expected it in 7 This silicone-based formula feels like velvet Credit: DCYPHER Dcypher Blur Balance Primer, £25 Most read in Fabulous I haven't used a mattifying primer for maybe 10 years, but the recent high temps had me searching for a solution to my near-constant sweaty upper lip. The silicone-based formula feels like velvet, but isn't heavy or mask-like, and creates a barrier that absorbs moisture and stops sweat breaking through and ruining my make-up all day long. 7 This formula slicks baby hairs down without making them dry or crispy Credit: CHAMPO Champo Flyaway Fix, £16 I've been wearing it up a lot, as I have baby hairs around my face that frizz and look messy in the humidity. The serum-like formula slicks them down without making them dry or crispy, and it doesn't make my hair flake off leaving white specs. The fine-tooth, curved brush doesn't tug or create bumps in my hair either, making it perfect for slicked-back styles. Weightless hydration has been a saviour for my skin, keeping my face soft and smooth without blocking my pores. 7 Refresh your complexion instantly Credit: ELEMIS Elemis Pro-Collagen Toning Mist, £45 I've been layering 7 This toner creates the perfect base for make-up Credit: BUBBLE Bubble Cosmic Silk Hydrating Milky Toner, £16 The mist contains padina pavonica, a type of algae that moisturises skin and is the hero ingredient in the entire Elemis Pro-Collagen range. It also has soothing rose and gluconolactone, a PHA that gently exfoliates dead skin cells and acts as an antioxidant to brighten the complexion. The list of skin-loving ingredients in the serum is even longer – with ceramides, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and allantoin to name just a few. It absorbs quickly and gives a lit-from-within radiance that lasts hours. 7 This is a non-negotiable if you shave or are prone to ingrown hairs Credit: MEGABABE Megababe Après Shave Ingrown & Razor Bump Roll-on Solution, £12 I'm extremely low-maintenance (read: lazy) when it comes to bodycare, so when I tell you The rollerball format means you don't have to get your hands sticky, and it has a cooling effect on contact with the skin. There's no stinging or tingling, even on my arm pits, which is often the case with other ingrown-hair solutions I've tried. If you find you get red dots on your legs after shaving, it gets rid of those virtually overnight, too. From now until tights season comes back around, this will be my beauty best friend. How To Save Money On Beauty Buys IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes? Here are five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but at a fraction of the price. FACE BASE If you can't afford Charlotte Tilbury's £52 Magic Cream, why not try a TONE IT UP If Drunk Elephant's £62 Protini Cream is out of your price range, you'll need to check out TINTING IT With Fenty's game-changer skin tint costing £29, a popular supermarket's affordable alternative might just be the thing for you. GET COVERED At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50. SPRAY YAY For those wanting to smell fresh without the price tag,
