SHANE WATSON: I'm a fashion expert. Yes, you can wear lace over 50, but only if you follow my 3 strict rules and NEVER wear this one colour
What do you think of when you think of lace? Spanish mantillas? Those lacy black tights we all wore in the Eighties? A wedding dress? Princess Caroline of Monaco's wedding dress? (Google it if you don't remember, it's the very heaven of wedding dresses).
I'll tell you what I think when I think about lace: lovely on my stepdaughter, not on me or anyone over 50. A lace trim, a glimpse of lace in the neckline of a jacket, maybe: anything more is an instant ager.

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. Posting to their TikTok account, Primark recently shared a clip of a brand its new jelly tote bag being carried by a fashion fan on a pebble beach. "Packed up and beach ready", Primark said. The stylish silver bag is large enough to fit in all your summer essentials, such as a towel and sun cream.

Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough. Commenting under the TikTok video, one person beamed: "The sparkles!" Another said: "Love!" Shoppers have also been raving about Primark's new statement beaded bags. Not only are there two colourful patterns to choose from, but it's super stylish and will make the perfect holiday accessory.
