A tank top is an essential wardrobe staple, so it's not surprising the Contour Popper Top from Molly Mae's fashion brand Maebe has sold out due to popular demand.
We searched high and low to find a similar alternative that is in stock, and more affordable, which is when we stumbled across New Look's White Rib Button Through Tank Top.
New Look's elevated take on the humble tank top retails for £12.99, whereas the Maebe design fetches £50, which is quite steep if you ask us.
Crafted from a cotton and elastane blend, this tank top provides enough stretch to hug the body comfortably.It boasts a slash neckline, button front fastening and slip front detail at the lower hem of the design. Available in 10 colours, but stock is selling fast. BUY NOW FOR £12.99
The New Look Button Through Tank Top boasts a slash neckline, while the Maebe version is a tight round neck.
The high street number has been crafted from a cotton and elastane blend, which provides just enough stretch to hug the body in the right places without sagging or causing discomfort. Believe me, I have worn it for weeks and it's buttery soft, lightweight and breathable – even to wear abroad and travel in. While the Maebe alternative has been crafted from a semi-brushed knitted jersey fabric. More Trending
The New Look tank features ribbed detailing, and button front fastening, whereas Maebe's fastening uses snap buttons instead. https://www.instagram.com/p/DAgvneCOWIT/?hl=en
What I love about the New Look Tank Top is it is comfortable to wear, stylish, but also versatile. You can unfasten a few buttons at the top of the neck, or lower down to create a flare silhouette and hourglass fit. Alternatively you can wear fully buttoned up.
The sleeveless tank top can be paired with jeans, culottes, a mini or midi skirt, even an A-line skirt to accentuate the flare creation on the bottom half. However, what we love best is New Look's top is available in 10 colours, including white, black, light blue, brown, navy, green, pink, red, orange and yellow.
Plus, the price tag is much more purse friendly, as New Look's Tank Top retails for £12.99, and the Maebe tank fetches £50, which is a hefty saving of £37.01.

Molly-Mae Hague insists that Tommy Fury follows strict rule in order for her to trust him in their relationship
IT looked like the dream was over for Love Island power couple Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury last summer when she dramatically announced their split on Instagram. But as the couple's New Year's Eve kiss first suggested, as it went viral, the relationship is now well and truly back on. 9 9 I can reveal, though, that influencer Molly has secretly laid down the law with her boxer beau — insisting he FaceTime her every HOUR when they are not together so that she knows exactly where he is and who he's with. The strict rule has become quite the talking point among Tommy's circle of mates. But if he wants to stay with Molly, he may have no choice but to fall into line. A source said: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. 'Tommy has been very dedicated so far — if he's on a train, he will FaceTime the moment he gets off. 'It's the same with any flights that he takes or hotels he's staying in. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. 'And then she likes him to also show her where he is. 'This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.' The reunited couple — who have a two-year-old daughter, Bambi, together — were pictured last month on a romantic getaway in Dubai. It was their sixth holiday, no less, this year. The source added: 'Tommy's camp have raised their eyebrows at Molly's rule. 'He can't do anything without having to report straight back to her. 'But Molly's team, on the other hand, feel that this is what he needs to do if he wants to keep his family together. 'The question is, does Molly really trust Tommy? Some highly doubt it.' Speaking last year, Tommy told how his drinking had played a huge part in driving a wedge between him and Molly. He said at the time: 'The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be any more. 'It kills me to say it, but it's true, I couldn't. 'I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink, and it is what it is.' CATHERINE TYLDESLEY has Channel 5 high-ups all in a spin – as the future of their drama The Good Ship Murder has been thrown into chaos by her return to Coronation Street. Cath and fellow former Corrie star Shayne Ward play the lead roles in the series and bosses had expected it to continue after the current run but have now been blindsided. An insider tells me: 'Executives are holding frantic meetings to determine whether they can recast the leading role, or will be forced to axe the show when current filming concludes. 'Nobody saw this coming and she didn't tell them in advance – they can't believe it after all they have invested in her. Suffice to say, people are furious.' But Corrie urgently needs Catherine's character, Eva Price, back in the fold as stars are exiting the ITV soap in their droves. Maybe Channel 5 can find another of the Weatherfield lot to take on the role . . . Oi! Megan's pinched Pamela's swimmers MEGAN THEE STALLION channels Pamela Anderson's Baywatch era in an iconic red swimsuit from her new collection. The US rap star has launched a swimwear range with Walmart – an American supermarket. 9 She said: 'Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach, so I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my own swimwear brand. "It was only right that we kick off Hot Girl Summer with this launch and provide Hotties of all body types with the official Hot Girl uniform. 'I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it's a full circle to have my own line available at Walmart, and I'm so grateful for their support.' BREACH OF FAITH SINGER, actress and author, Paloma Faith is many things – but I didn't have her down as a bully. Yet ex- EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy, who played Sonia Fowler, claims Paloma made her life hell at high school. Speaking on her Life With Nat podcast, she said: 'Paloma Faith, she bullied me at school. She was in the year above me. We've spoken about it and she has said sorry.' The pair attended Islington Green School in North London – now the City of London Academy Islington. In contrast, Paloma described her time at school as 'one of the best periods' of her life. I hope they've let bygones be bygones. DANNY'S GEORGIA TOP OF MORNING GEORGIA JONES has landed a gig on This Morning and bosses are hoping to make her a regular. The wife of McFLY singer Danny, who has an army of fans as a successful mum influencer, has filmed a special segment for the daytime show, about post-natal depression. 9 It comes after Georgia has bravely opened up about suffering from this herself. A source said: 'This Morning bosses are delighted to be working with Georgia. She has interviewed other mums who have experienced post-natal depression and is very open herself. 'Producers are hopeful that if the collaboration goes well Georgia will become a new face of the show. She has a really successful podcast and a loyal core following, which is ideal for helping to boost viewing figures.' I'm A Celeb winner Danny, who has a son with Georgia, spoke during his time in the jungle about the mental battle his wife suffered. He said: 'Looking back, she had post-natal depression. And that is so hard, and what made it harder is that she didn't know. I wanted to try and fix it and go, 'Come on, you can do this', and that's not what she needed.' It comes as the couple are still recovering from his drunken snog at the Brit Awards with Love Islander Maura Higgins. The insider added: 'Georgia has certainly held her own during the scandal and ITV are keen to back her.' Raya of hope for Sophie SHE split from her aristocratic fella just two months ago, but it seems Sophie Turner is wasting no time in finding a summer date. I can reveal the former Game Of Thrones star, who parted ways with property heir Peregrine Pearson in April, is looking for love on A-list dating app Raya. 9 9 But her rocker ex-hubby and baby daddy Joe Jonas has also used the exclusive site to meet matches. Awks. Her profile, with pics of her on holiday, and with gal pals, reads: 'Music, pasta, movie, family, sun, friends. Thanks.' Happy swiping, Sophie. SHE'S just starred in his Zombie music vid and now Florence Pugh has joined Yungblud behind the bar pulling pints. The pals shocked customers at the popular Devonshire Pub in London's Soho by turning up and pouring impromptu drinks for punters. 9 An onlooker tells me: 'They were having a laugh and doing a decent job. Customers couldn't believe a Hollywood actress was their barmaid.' Mine's a cider please, Flo. THEY say couples who rave together stay together – and Davina McCall and her partner of six years, celebrity crimper Michael Douglas, prove the point. They partied at Pete Tong's Ibiza Classics night, in London's Royal Albert Hall, where TV host Davina said the couple's secret was 'love and respect'. Michael added: 'We were raving like it was the Nineties. It was brilliant.'

Boden cuts £61 off 'simply stunning' summer midi dress ahead of UK heatwave
Get ready for warm summer weather with the massive Boden sale. Parts of the UK are set to be hit by another mini heatwave next week. With temperatures reportedly soaring to 27C, many of us will be planning days outside. That possibly means updating the wardrobe for summer. Fortunately, fashion retailer Boden is running a massive sale across new season must-haves in time for sunny weather and balmy weekends. One item that has caught our eye is the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress that has been dropped from £136 to £74.80, saving shoppers over £61 off the RRP. Hailed as "simply stunning", we think it's perfect for summer weddings, BBQ's and picnics in the park. Crafted from a flowy, breathable material, this midi dress features a fit-and-flare design and a tie-belt at the waist that offers a "flattering" effect on the body. Meanwhile, its "super-swishable skirt" adds a touch movement and drama to the overall look. The all-over multi-coloured means it is a statement wardrobe item, while a few other sought-after features include handy side pockets, alongside full lining to ensure it doesn't look too sheer or see-through. Boden's Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress £136 £74.80 Boden Buy here Product Description Designed in petite and regular lengthways, the Bria Midi Dress is available to buy in sizes four through to 20, although Boden has advised it is "one to watch", meaning it's pretty popular with shoppers. Prefer longer sleeves? Then we have spotted this equally vibrant Wh ite Tropical Print Puff Sleeve Midi Dress over at New Look for a touch cheaper at £36.99. For something a touch more muted, yet no less stylish, there is this Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Summer Dress for £49 from Next that is available in three other colours. For the fashion fans keen to take advantage of Boden's discount on the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, it's worth knowing that shoppers have been hailing it in reviews as "simply stunning" and "extremely comfortable." One five-star review read: "This dress is simply stunning. I am five foot 2 and the regular length falls just right for me. It's extremely comfortable, the print is bright and it fits perfectly. This may be the best dress I have ever had. Fashion deal of the week In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices. Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon. With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis. The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet. Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air". Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway. With the STQ Trainers posing the cheapest price-tag, shoppers might be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.4 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that suggest they are "light as a feather" and "really comfortable". One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these." Purchase the STQ Women's Slip On Trainers from £30.99 on Amazon here. Thank you Boden for not making it too low cut and for proper sleeves! I can't fault it- the fabric is gorgeous and I am going to wear it for my graduation at UCL in May." A second eager fan wrote: "This dress is beautiful! It's well made and super colorful.

While someone else added: "I can't tell you just how beautiful this dress actually is the fabric is lovely soft cotton and the cut is superb. When it arrived and I tried it on it felt so lovely to wear and so flattering and it has pockets. Can't wait to wear this on my next cruise." Not everyone found the dress suited their style, as one shopper said: "The colours and print on this dress are very vibrant and beautiful, the quality feels good, and it could be worn with accessories in a wide range of colours. "However, although the dress fitted me, it did not suit me at all, but made my hips look big, and gave me a very 'matronly' look, which was not good. Sadly, I have returned the dress." Although, another shopper said in return: "Classy! Love the fit and the fabric! True to size." here.

It's unforgiveable to serve this 'offensive' drink to guests at your wedding
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more There are a few things you can be certain of at a wedding. Someone will break down spectacularly during the speeches, the best man will overshare and make things awkward, and possibly the same person who lost the plot during the speeches will get hammered and start an argument. Terrifyingly, if you're planning your wedding, those aren't the factors that will cause you the most anxiety. Nope, they're a cinch compared to choosing the drinks to serve on the day. A 2023 YouGov survey revealed that 42% of engaged couples felt 'uncertain or anxious' about choosing the right wine at their wedding. Many of those cited a lack of wine knowledge or the prospect of 'getting it wrong' as the main fear factors. When you consider, the average wedding now costs £23,250, with catering and drinks typically accounting for at least 25 to 30% of that, the wine choice is central to the day. No pressure intended. To help make this decision a little easier for you, here are three drinks I think it would be an unforgivable offence to serve at a wedding, so given you're not (consciously) planning to make this wedding the dry run for your next one, it will pay to avoid falling into these pitfalls… How many times have you been gasping for a sharpener after a wedding ceremony only to be presented with lukewarm, off-dry bubbles? That's because it's cheap Prosecco, the lazy and uninspiring option. Look, I'm all for saving money, but the fact is there's plenty of other bubbly options that won't leave you feeling like you're wearing a layer of sugary, boozy lip-gloss after the first glass. Don't get me started on oaky Chardonnay as your white option, there's a reason people ditched it back in the early noughties like rats fleeing a sinking ship. No one wants to be sipping (chewing) a glass of something that could have been made by a carpenter instead of a winemaker. At the other end of the spectrum, Pinot Grigio sucks at a wedding. At the lower end (which is where most of us would look, let's be honest) it's a neutral-tasting, yawn-fest. It's the only 'inoffensive' style of wine that's actually offensive. You're basically telling people you've done you're own version of a Calais booze cruise to Tesco to get hold of it on 3-for-2 deal. Nothing wrong with a deal in my book, but at least go for something that isn't the drinks equivalent of off-white wall paint. As a rule of thumb, I'd work on the basis of two glasses of fizz and half a bottle of wine per head. Sure, not everybody drinks, but you'll find someone's second cousin who's more than happy to take their place. The good news? There's a way to nail the wine choices without the need for a château budget or sommelier approval. It's all about the wines feeling like they've been 'considered', that, along with a generous returns policy. And when it comes to other drinks, my tips would include not handing out Sambuca shots before your dad grabs the mike, or letting your cousin create a 'signature' cocktail because he once bartended in Ibiza. But, you already knew that. Here are my top recommendations for wedding wines to avoid Lambrini being your toasting tipple… Taste the Difference Pignoletto DOC Spumante Brut, £8, Sainsbury's Let's face it, Pignoletto isn't a million miles from Prosecco, style-wise. Known as it's 'Italian cousin', though it's from the Emilia-Romagna region between Modena and Bologna. You get similar frothy apple and pear flavours, but this one is zestier, dryer and full of yellow plum flavours. Prosecco, be gone, I'd be far happier to be greeted by a glass of Pignoletto at a wedding. Toast & Honey Brut, South Africa, £13, Majestic Full disclosure, I was anticipating disliking this bottle. Why? The name, mainly. Goes to show, don't judge a wine by its label. It's produced by fourth generation winemakers based at Tulbagh Winery, one of South Africa's oldest and most respected estates. It's rich, dry, toasty, lightly honeyed with a lively streak of zestiness running through it. Exceptional by Asda Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia, £6.98, Asda More Trending The Margaret River is a source of premium wines in Australia, the kind you'd pay a decent amount of money for. Now, I can't quite get my head around the barely-there price for this silky red that tastes of blackberries, damsons and cherries, but I'm not asking questions in case the Asda team realise there's been a typo… The Long Coast Chardonnay, Chile, £7, Majestic View More » At a recent Majestic wine tasting, this was the star of the show for me. Bang for buck-wise, I was shook. The fruit is sourced from vineyards that benefit from the cooling influence of the ocean, along Chile's Pacific coastline. That means the grapes have a longer 'hang-time' on the vine, ripening slowly for mad flavour intensity. This is dry, creamy and stuffed with the most delicious tropical fruit flavours.

Immerse yourself in the world of good drink, fronted by industry expert Rob Buckhaven – a place for readers to whet their whistle with the latest and greatest in the world of drinks.
