We got a sneak peek at Boohoo's new summer range– these buys will sell out fast
Our Mirror fashion team got an early look at Boohoo's summer range, and it's packed with surprisingly high-quality pieces... One of the perks of our job on a fashion desk is that we get to see early glimpses of new fashion collections before they hit the rails. And last week, we got a sneak peek at Boohoo's latest summer drop. If you had any reservations about the quality or fit of Boohoo products, trust us, you won't after seeing these new-in launches. Playing on summer picnic style, the range features holiday and staycation essentials in breezy linen and silk-like fabrics, fun gingham and stripe prints, and with fruit print motifs. Many of the pieces also come with petite and plus options, meaning there's something for everyone. We spotted five key trends in the collection, ranging from cherry red to skorts, and we predict these pieces below will sell out fast! 'Add to basket' fingers at the ready... Beaded sandals Capri Beaded Sliders, £20 Ibiza Beaded Sliders, £12.50 Beaded slider sandals are set to be the hero shoe of summer 2025 – and it's easy to see why. This season's take blends laid-back, beachy ease with elevated, artisanal detail. Think intricate beadwork, playful embellishments and colour-pop accents that instantly lift a simple outfit. We spotted these two 'Ibiza' and 'Capri' pairs in gorgeous colourways. Co-ord sets Tie Side Linen Top & Wide Leg Trouser Co-ord, £25.20 Gingham Woven Boxy Co-Ord, £25.20 Plus Stripe Linen Look Oversized Shirt, £19.80 (+ matching trousers) Co-ord sets are having a major moment for summer 2025, with linen and satin-like fabrics leading the charge. From crisp, breathable linen that keeps things cool to silky finishes that catch the light just right, this trend is all about ease and elegance. The beauty of a co-ord lies in its instant polish– throw it on and you're done. There's plenty of choice in Boohoo's new range, but these three above are perfect for daytime or evening dressing. Mini dresses Petite Tailored Cowl Detail Wrap Mini Dress, £28.80 Stripe Sleeveless A-Line Mini Dress, £12 Stripe Ruched Flare Cuff Shirt Dress, £24 The mini dress is making a strong comeback for summer 2025, but forget the bodycon bandage styles millennials once lived in. This season's take is softer, more playful, and refreshingly effortless. Think babydoll shapes, flippy hems, and light fabrics that move with the breeze, often styled with flats or chunky trainers for a modern edge. Whether it's puff sleeves, cut-out details or a simple strappy silhouette, the new mini feels flirty without fuss. Cherry red Linen Tie Back Puff Sleeve Midaxi Dress, £22.50 Mon Cheri Applique Oversized T-Shirt, £12.80 Cherry red is set to be the standout shade of summer 2025: bold, juicy and impossible to ignore. This vibrant hue is showing up everywhere, from slinky slip dresses to tailored co-ords and statement accessories, offering a punchy alternative to soft pastels or neutral basics. Whether worn head-to-toe or as a single pop against denim or white, cherry red brings instant energy. Skorts Short With Double Split Skirt Layover, £13 Skorts are making an unexpected, and very welcome, comeback this summer, blending the polish of a mini skirt with the practicality of shorts. Perfect for busy days, festivals, or just keeping things breezy and effortless, they're popping up in everything from crisp cottons to fluid satins. This time around, think tailored cuts, sporty silhouettes and minimalist styling. Less Y2K, more elevated ease. Looking for other new-in collections to shop? M&S has just dropped its own summer range featuring gorgeous pieces for holidays. However, you'll need to head into your nearest store to shop the range, since the ongoing cyber attack is still ruling out online shopping for the moment. Alternatively, H&M's summer range is online and offers designer-looking silhouettes for much less than you'd think.

Five beauty hacks to look better during a heatwave
The mini heatwave over the next few days will see some parts of the UK reach temperatures of 28 degrees, making it the warmest April in Britain in seven years. This means, of course, being extra diligent with sun protection. (SPF is not just for holidays!) But while your mind may be preoccupied with the thought of a new pair of sandals for the warmer weather, think also of the beauty implications of the heat. They are not desirable, for the most part: sweaty, shiny skin and frizzy hair come to mind. Fear not. A couple of key weatherproofing products will help see you through the mini heatwave. Heat-proof make-up As soon as the weather warms up, we need to rethink our base makeup. Ditch your usual foundation and apply concealer where you need it with a light translucent powder over the t-zone if you need it. By Terry's Hyaluronic Pressed Hydra-Powder is a best-seller for a reason. It hydrates the skin while reducing shine, so it is perfect for midlife skin. It might be good to switch to a more matte formula on the lips rather than anything too shiny. The Bisou Balms by Violette FR work really well to impart a powdery hint of colour on the lips without feeling too dry. The brand's latest shade, Mon Cheri, is a suits-everyone nude-brown. And of course, eyelashes will benefit from a waterproof mascara in the heat to avoid panda eyes. A really good option for a waterproof mascara is the Maybelline Lash Sensation Sky High Waterproof mascara. However, if you'd prefer not to use a waterproof formula, try a tubing mascara instead. These humid-proof heroes create little tubes around the lashes to add volume and length, without going crusty or flaky. Once you're ready to remove the mascara, you simply 'roll' the tubes away with warm water. The Unlocked Instant Mascara by Hourglass is one of the best around. Anti-shine essentials Start thinking about keeping your skin cool from the moment you put on your moisturiser. If you are prone to oily skin, try switching to a lighter moisturiser, such as the Light Moisturiser by Skin Rocks, £56. (As an added bonus, this cream is available in fragrance and fragrance-free formulas.) Next, find a UV protector and make-up primer in one: Murad Oil And Pore Control Mattifier SPF45 PA++++, protects, mattifies and keeps your make-up place. While blotting papers have been around for decades, they really do help to keep shine at bay. The Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers by Tatcha are highly effective and slim enough to slot into your purse. Cooling facial spritz If you really feel the heat, a cooling face spritz is a saviour. Not only will they freshen up the skin, they will also add moisture back into the skin (excessive sweating can leave the skin feeling dehydrated). We love the Spots and Stripes Refreshing Face Mist or the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra 8 Face Mist. Heat-busting hair 'A ponytail is always good for a heatwave because it keeps you cool,' says Paul Percival, co-founder of Percy & Reed. 'To keep the look modern, just keep the pony quite low, and give it a slightly wet texture if you can (try Percy & Reed's Session Styling Define & Hold Finishing Cream). 'Another tip is to give your hair a cold rinse post-shampoo, not just to keep you cool but to shut the hair cuticle and help prevent hot-weather frizz,' he adds. To combat greasy roots, a dry shampoo works wonders in warmer temperatures. We love Batiste Instant Hair Refresh Dry Shampoo & Volume which is available at supermarkets and high street chemists. Fight the frizz-factor If high humidity levels are sending your follicles into a mushroom-shaped frenzy, try a portable product to help. The Briogeo Style + Treat Yuzu + Plum Oil Sleek Stick looks like a roll-on deodorant - but that's where the similarities end. It is fantastic for smoothing flyaways and keeping your style looking smooth and slick.
