Primark's 'fun and bold' £16 postcard outfit looks like high-end brand
Shoppers who love one of the season's biggest trends can save with the retailer's new offering Fashion fans can expect to see tropical prints everywhere this season, with New Look and Oliver Bonas jumping on the trend. Now, Primark is stocking a new tropical clothing range that resembles a pricier alternative. The retailer's take on the trendy colourful clothing looks arguably similar to Forever New's take on the trend. For example, Primark offers a £16 Tropical Postcard Print Shirt with a colourful print that resembles Forever New's Lydia Oversized Linen Shirt, priced at £60 at Very. Both retailers offer matching items and similar styles, which could also lead to comparisons. Primark's range includes a £18 Tropical Postcard Print Midi Dress and £12 Postcard Print Poplin Shorts. Meanwhile, Forever New's range includes a £110 Jacqueline Puff-Sleeve Tiered Midi Dress and £50 Francine Printed Crop Top. Primark's range is the more affordable of the two options. The Primark shirt and the Forever New alternative both offer an oversized silhouette, with a collar and long sleeves. They're also alike in that they have colourful prints with a square pattern that resembles postcard pictures, and the colour scheme is similar too. Primark's top is white with blue, red, green, and yellow accents. Meanwhile, the Forever New shirt is white with blue, red, green, and yellow colours featured in its print. However, the prints are different. The Forever New style has an Italian theme, with Italian place names, beach scenes, lemons, strawberries, and orange flowers. The Primark shirt is also adorned with fruit and flora. However, the blue palm trees, red and yellow flowers, and the parrots included in the design give a different overall effect. There are also differences in fabric. Primark's shirt is 100% cotton, while the Forever New offering is 55% linen and 45% rayon, according to the product description. The product description for the Primark shirt says: "Bring a splash of colour to your wardrobe with this tropical postcard print shirt. Set on a crisp white base, the all-over design includes bold hibiscus flowers, palm trees, and tile-inspired patterns in vibrant shades. It's styled with a classic collared neckline, button-down front and long sleeves with buttoned cuffs for a relaxed, regular fit. Easy to wear tucked in or loose, it's a fun pick for brightening up your every day looks." While Very does not offer a detailed product description for the shirt, it does note that it is hand-wash only. It also says the style has been seen on TV. Whether or not shoppers prefer Primark's version or Forever New's alternative will be a matter of personal preference. Primark's designs have divided opinion among viewers online. One shopper who was unimpressed by the retailer's tropical range shared their opinion on TikTok as @leilaeela, writing: "I am honestly completely gobsmacked that this made it through design meetings and not one person spoke up." A viewer with a similar response wrote: "I can't belive how many people actually love them I find them hideous but so many people have been raving over them in the fitting room staff and customers alike." However, someone else thought: "Love them it's giving Italian summer." Another fan commented: "It's such a cute pattern tho." Someone added: "I really like them, very cute for holiday."

Celebrate summer with Triptii Dimri
Celebrated for her captivating on-screen presence and impeccable fashion sense, actress Triptii Dimri is not only in the news for replacing Deepika Padukone in Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, but also for continuing her elegant journey with label Forever New. As the brand unveils the latest wave of its Summer '25 collection, Triptii Dimri embodies the spirit of the season with poise and charm. Titled The Summer Odyssey, the collection radiates vibrant sophistication, featuring statement prints, refined silhouettes, and consciously crafted fabrics — perfectly tailored for the modern woman who values both grace and versatility. In an exclusive conversation with CE, Triptii shares insights on fashion, her creative inputs, cherished memories of growing up in Hyderabad, and much more. Excerpts What drew you to collaborate with Forever New as their brand ambassador? Forever New felt like an intuitive partnership. I've always admired brands that celebrate femininity in a way that feels empowering rather than performative. What stood out about Forever New was their commitment to timeless design and effortless elegance. It's something that resonates with my personal style and values. It's not just about how you look, but how you feel in the clothes. That quiet confidence is what I strive for both on and off screen. What has been your favourite look or collection from Forever New so far? The Summer '25 collection, which we've just unveiled, is truly special. There's a sense of easy grace and movement in every piece, like you've stepped into a sun-drenched day in the Mediterranean. I particularly love the 'Tropea Postcard' and 'Limone Floral' prints. They feel nostalgic and fresh at the same time. The linen co-ords and rosette-accented dresses are standout pieces I find myself gravitating towards, whether it's for brunch with friends or a quiet holiday escape.

Kate Middleton wore a £28 clutch bag to Buckingham Palace's garden party
The Princess of Wales opted for a chic raffia clutch bag to accessorise her butter yellow outfit at Buckingham Palace's garden party, and it cost just £28 On Tuesday Kate Middleton made a welcome reappearance at Buckingham Palace's Royal Garden Party for the first time since 2023, and she of course did it in style. The Princess of Wales opted for a very on trend butter yellow midi dress, which she accessorised with a matching hat from Philip Treacy and a pair of nude heels. However it was her clutch bag that really caught our eye, with Princess Kate carrying Forever New's Lily Bag. Although its raffia design was perfect for adding an extra summery hint to her look, what was even more remarkable about it was just how affordable it was. The bag was originally priced at £28, and has been a staple in Princess Kate's wardrobe ever since she first wore it during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Although the Lily Bag has since sold out – no doubt thanks to the Kate effect, where her fashion choices often lead to increased demand for featured items – the affordable Australian brand still has several other designs that let you copy Kate's style. Just like Princess Kate's Lily bag, the other styles are affordable and chic and perfect for nailing the summer vibes. The closest match to the Lily bag we found on Forever New is the Kelsey Clutch, £50, which has the same design and structure as Kate's bag, just with the addition of stunning pearl and diamante details all over it for some added glamour. It has an easy-to-carry rectangular shape with a metal push clasp on the top, and a detachable chain strap that allows you to swap it to a shoulder or cross body bag. It also features a handy internal pouch for keeping your belongings safe. For something more simple the Andrea Weave Camera Bag is £35 and has a similar rounded rectangular shape with woven straw details. It also features a detachable chain and faux leather strap, with a zip fastening for added security. Next also features a similar style, with the Gold Raffia Structured Clutch Bag priced at a very affordable £24. Rather than a shoulder strap it features a removable wristlet strap that makes it easy to carry, with a zip top fastening. Pouch bags are also a super sought-after clutch design, and Mango's £49.99 Natural fibre handbag has a designer look on an affordable budget. Dune's Elsabeth Clutch is slightly pricier at £99, but has a grab top handle that makes it easy to carry. However if you want to follow in Princess Kate's budget-friendly footsteps, shop Forever New's range of bags now. The brand is also currently offering 20% off selected styles including summer dresses and co-ords that are perfect for holidays and weddings.
