Our fashion editors are loving these picks from Tu at Sainsbury's new range - and there's currently 20% off
You might think that working for a women's magazine, all the fashion chat is of ultra-expensive luxury brands, or little-known designers that are hard to track down. But at You magazine, it's just as likely for someone to come into the office and announce that their whole outfit comes from a supermarket as a high-end fashion brand, and Tu at Sainsbury's is one of our favourites. And it's not just the fashion team; all over Instagram, style influencers are gushing over their Sainsbury's clothing finds, which range from quilted denim gilets to the much raved about pyjamas. It's fair to say this supermarket brand is having a moment, and You's fashion bookings editor Lila Flint Roberts is very much on board. She flags this red linen co-ord (waistcoat £26 and trousers £22.50 at Sainsburys) as a look 'that will be everywhere' this spring, and also praises the fabric content, which is linen mix. 'A lot of the time, supermarket clothing has higher quality material composition than most high street shops' she reveals. Even better, Tu currently has 20% off its clothing range online and in-store. Here are some of the fashion picks we'll be shopping… Mid Washed Denim Jorts £14.40 (was £18) Shop Red T-Shirt Combined Midi Dress £18 (was £22.50) Shop Navy Striped Textured High Neck Swimsuit £14.40 (was £18) Shop Sage Pinstripe High Neck Co-ord Waistcoat £20.80 (was £26) Shop Sage Green Ultra-Wide Co-ord Tailored Trousers £18 (was £22.50) Shop Black Embroidered Sleeve Boho Midi Dress £22.40 (was £28) Shop

F&F at Tesco has finally launched online. Here are all of the expensive-looking pieces our fashion editor is loving right now
'Why do I have to save all my money for sensible things like a mortgage when I just want to buy loads of pretty summer clothes?' I asked my team at work this morning (to which one person replied that she'd just splashed £500 on a Gucci bikini, which made me feel much better). It's certainly that time of year when I start itching to top up my summer wardrobe, but funds don't always allow what the heart wants. So I was extremely pleased to receive an email from the F&F at Tesco press team, informing me that the brand has finally started selling online. Say hello to chic, holiday-ready co-ords that come in at well under £40 for both pieces. Summer dresses that are ideal for dressing up at around the £20 mark. A faux suede jacket that costs £29.50 but doesn't look dissimilar to the £250 versions I've been eyeing up on the high street. Plus a white skirt that You's fashion bookings editor Lila Flint Roberts said is 'unreal' (in a good way). There are loads of lovely pieces in the F&F collection, but previously I've never really shopped there, since I don't live near to a larger Tesco store. Online they are also selling men's, kids' and babywear, so you can get the whole family kitted out without spending an absolute fortune. Here are a few of our favourite pieces... Elastic waist midi skirt £22.50 Shop Striped crochet top £22.50 Shop Striped crcohet trousers £22.50 Shop Sleeveless midi dress £22.50 Shop Faux suede jacket £29.50 Shop Tennis graphic sweatshirt £18 Shop Ribed racer midi dress £16 Shop Tie waist trousers £19.50 Shop Bomber jacket £35 Shop

The Tu dress our fashion editor says will 'go with everything' - and other stylish items from Sainsbury's new collection
Hold on to your shopping trolleys – Tu at Sainsbury's has launched its summer clothing collection, and there are quite a few pieces that wouldn't look out of place much pricier fashion ranges. From chic co-ords in on-trend butter yellow, to flattering dresses that could be dressed up or down according to the occasion, there's plenty to love in Tu's latest drop. The details make them look more expensive; from elegant tortoiseshell-effect buttons to linen-blend fabrics. The new collection also includes accessories, with a range of affordable shoes and bags. You magazine's fashion bookings editor Lila Flint Roberts is among the fans of the brand, and has shared with us the pieces she'll be snapping up from the Tu at Sainsbury's supermarket range this spring, plus her thoughts on each piece... The goes-with-everything dress £22.50 Shop 'I have this in khaki from last year, and it's the perfect do it all dress. I love the white and the fun Pepto-Bismol pink shade that Sainsbury's has brought out this year.' The waistcoat £26 Shop 'This linen co-ord absolutely screams high-end. I'd wear this outfit either for work, or on a fun city break with the girls. Price-wise, it comes in at under £50 for both pieces which is a real steal – especially for the high percentage of linen in the fabric composition.' The perfect summer trousers £20 Shop 'Worn as a co-ord, I think this outfit might be little too much like pyjamas. But the trousers alone are so fun – striped poplin trousers were huge last year and I imagine they will still be trending this year. I love Tu's green version.' 'Fisherman sandals are quite a divisive trend, but if you're a fan then you'll love Tu's faux suede iteration here. They're a brilliant summer shoe – more practical than a flip flop but not as claustrophobic as a trainer.' 'These heeled mules will carry you through all of your weddings/birthdays/batmitzvahs this summer.'

M&S's new partywear collection has fashion editors talking - these are the 9 pieces to snap up before they sell out
Marks & Spencer has long been the place to head for sensible trousers or a multi-pack of knickers, but at the press show this spring it was the brand's occasionwear that had many fashion editors talking. For many years, the high street stalwart has offered little in the way of summer party outfits, but for 2025 there are plenty of options for those heading to weddings, the races or any sort of outdoor bash. 'I am really here for M&S 's new foray into partywear' says You magazine's fashion editor Hannah Skelley. 'The amount of occasionwear outlets on our shopping streets has dwindled, so this could represent a new hotspot. Known for fabulous basics and sell-out trend-led pieces, M&S's occasion collection is of the same quality - but it's elevated, contemporary and very affordable.' Here, the fashion team reveal their top picks from Marks & Spencer's occasionwear line-up... Hannah Skelley, fashion editor 'Butter yellow has taken over the high street this spring and this sleek lace button down tea dress is the exact shade of sunshine you should be looking for. It will work with ballet pumps and a suede roomy tote for al fresco dining occasions and with metallic kitten heels and a baguette bag during wedding season.' Lace Button Through Midi Tea Dress With Cotton £119 Shop Lila Flint Roberts, senior bookings editor 'If you're looking to update your party wardrobe, turn to accessories first – they give a new lease of life to all outfits! I've always been an avid supporter of Marks & Spencer's accessories – and they just keep getting better. This woven clutch is a brilliant size and is a style that has been extremely popular for at least three years now owing to Bottega Veneta – so it'll be money well spent. 'The suede stilettos are unreal and would cost a lot more if bought from any other high street store. Wear with jeans and a crisp white shirt, or pair with your favourite wedding guest dress. Cost per wear (and the material used) will justify the slightly higher price point.' Jessica Carroll, junior style editor 'I love a mini for summer occasions, and I know I would be able to re-wear this LBD again and again for just about any event. With a square neckline and fit and flare silhouette, it has a subtle vintage feel that makes it look very expensive. My advice would be to lean into this and pair with slingback kitten heels, a delicate top-handle bag and chunky gold earrings. Alternatively, I'd dress it down with woven raffia ballet flats, black sunnies, and a slouchy tote bag. 'M&S' partywear options are some of the best on the high street at the moment. They have got it spot on in terms of making stylish pieces that don't rely too heavily on obvious trends, meaning they are more timeless than other high street stores. My favourite thing, however, has got to be their accessories. Their shoes and jewellery are perfect for elevating an otherwise plain special occasion look.' Square Neck Waisted Mini Dress £39.50 Shop Hope Palmer, fashion assistant 'Occasionwear can be tricky — I never want to buy something just to wear it once and have it sat in the back of the wardrobe forevermore. That's why I love this dress, the fresh colour and floral print feel like something special without being too in your face. The print also helps distract from what could be a clingy fabric, making it flattering without the fuss and the puff sleeves creates a lovely silhouette. It's easy to dress it up with these chunky raffia heels, great jewellery and bag for a chic occasion look. And just as easily, you can tone it down for everyday wear — think loafers, socks, and chunky gold jewellery. That makes it the perfect occasionwear dress for me.' Floral Round Neck Midaxi Tea Dress £45 Shop Plus, here are 4 more pieces we love... Embellished Cutwork Midaxi Column Skirt £89 Shop Polka Dot V-Neck Lace Detail Midaxi Tea Dress £49.50 Shop Floral Halterneck Maxi Tiered Dress Lyocell Rich Polka Dot Sweetheart Neckline Maxi Waisted Dress £79 Shop
