5 Reasons Why the T-Shirt Dress Is Your Easiest Style Solution, Every Time
Wardrobe staples are aptly named for a reason—their staying power is earned through their versatility. Some of the pieces that reside under this umbrella are the lived-in blue jean (no matter the rise or wash currently trending), the white summer dress, and the T-shirt. But there is a style that blends the best of both worlds, and that is the T-shirt dress. Vogue's Favorite T-Shirt Dresses Casual in spirit yet easy to dress up, the T-shirt dress has all the markings of a warm-weather wardrobe hero. The ultimate chameleon, its simplicity is exactly what makes it so wearable—it's essentially a blank canvas ready to be painted a hundred different ways. On its own, it gives cool-girl, effortless vibes for errands, weekend mornings, or brunch. Throw on knee-high motorcycle boots, and you're in your Glastonbury era. Wear it with a basket bag and a heeled thong sandal, and it's giving off-duty supermodel. You can accessorize with a silk scarf tied around the waist, toss a shell-laden pendant around your neck, or belt it for an evening out. Because it blurs the line between pulled-together and laidback, it works for almost every setting. Luckily, there are plenty of T-shirt dresses to play with this season, from luxe styles found at The Row and Khaite to more attainable options from Leset and Cos. Either way, all you have to add are a few key accessories. Shop some of our favorite T-shirt dresses below, with a few outfit ideas on how to wear them right now. outfits, below.

Lidl launches new t-shirt dress that's perfect for hot days – it's loose & so comfy you'll never want to take it off
LIDL has dropped a brand-new T-shirt dress that's perfect for scorching summer days. The breezy bargain is already turning heads, offering style and comfort for a fraction of the high street price. The dress features a relaxed fit, soft cotton fabric, and short sleeves - making it ideal for everything from beach days to BBQs. The new summer staple flaunts a throw-on-and-go style that still looks effortlessly chic. And at just £6.99, it's a steal - proving you don't have to splash the cash to stay cool and stylish this summer. The dress is made from a super-soft blend of 70% modal and 30% recycled polyester, making it not only extra comfy but also a more sustainable choice. Designed with a round neck, side slits and a loose fit, it's perfect for staying cool while looking effortlessly put together. Available in classic black or stylish olive green, it comes in sizes small to large - and shoppers are already calling it a must-have for their summer wardrobe. It's available to buy in Lidl stores now - but with its stylish look and bargain price tag, it's expected to fly off the shelves fast. So, if you're after the ultimate throw-on-and-go summer essential, you'll want to snap one up while stocks last! Other middle aisle bargains Lidl is also selling a £7.99 summer essential that is a lifesaver during hot sticky journeys – and it's less than half the price of Amazon's. Whether your braving it on the sauna-like London Underground, or toughing it out on an inner-city bus route, you'll want to do all that you can to cool down. And although many public transport systems unfortunately do not have air conditioning, Lidl's Silvercrest Portable Fan is a great way to keep cool whilst on the go. The nifty gadget comes in a variety of different colours, including green and yellow and is priced at just £7.99 making it perfect for anyone trying to pinch pennies. Available in store now, the bargain bit of kit promises to "keep you cool while on the go" and has three speed options, low, medium and high, It also has a tiltable fan head and a practical base, so you can stand the fan up whilst sitting at your desk. The budget buy also comes with a charging cable and a three-year-warranty, so you can guarantee it will keep you cool for years to come.

Both fans are rechargeable, but the Amazon fan has six speed settings. The Amazon buy also has a digital display, to show the fan speed and the high quality motor promises low noise. For anyone looking for a more substantial fan, Lidl is also currently selling a Silvercrest Tower fan for £69.99, a whopping £280 cheaper than Dyson's £350 bladeless fan. Tips for keeping organised during the summer holidays IF you aren't sure how to keep organised during the summer holidays, then you've come to the right place. Senior Fabulous Writer, Sarah Bull, has shared her top tips... FOOD: One thing I find difficult is keeping on top of my kids' constant requests for snacks. Despite the fact they have one break time at school and then lunch, their demands for food during school holidays seem to be 24/7. To make things easier, I've decided to bring in snack baskets for them. They each have a certain amount of food (the same so that there's no arguments) and once it's gone, it's gone. Not only does it make my life easier, it teaches them that they have to spread things out - and to maybe see if the 'hunger signals' are actually ones of hunger or thirst. ACTIVITIES: It can be hard to keep your kids entertained - and six weeks can feel like an awfully long time. One thing to take advantage of is having an outside space. If you have a garden, you can put bikes or scooters in there, or even a trampoline. It keeps them entertained and also makes sure they're doing some kind of physical activity every day. If you don't have the space for a climbing frame or added activities, why not give the kids a bucket of chalk and get them to draw on the paving slabs? Or another one I did was to give the kids a 'magic solution' I needed painted on the wall (it was just water and washing up liquid) to protect it. They spent a good hour doing that! CLOTHES: One thing I've used from when my daughter, now six, started school is to use clothing drawers for her and my son, who's 10. On a Sunday, I put all of their clothes, underwear, socks etc in the corresponding drawer for the week. Usually it's uniform, but I still use the drawers during the holiday too. It just makes things easier, more organised and less stressful - for all of us. Other cooling hacks People are sharing on Mumsnet to use a hot water bottle, yes, even in the summer. You simply fill the water bottle with a small amount of cold water and stick it in the freezer until frozen. Then you want to place it at the bottom of your bed to keep you cool all night long. However, you shouldn't use the same hot water bottle for hot water in winter and freezing in summer, as it can weaken the rubber. If you can, buy two hot water bottles and change them for each task. Tin foil is effective at reflecting sunlight when placed on the inside or outside of any windows. This, in turn, prevents your home from absorbing too much heat and warming it up. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing, but is a cheap and temporary solution for short and intense heatwaves. You can also create a DIY ice fan by putting a container or bowl of ice cubes in front of a fan sees the air passing over it cool, creating a mist of chilled air. This hack isn't the most effective for larger rooms, but can work in smaller rooms like your bedroom. Free summer holiday activites You don't need to spend a penny to keep your kids entertained this summer... Museums - Some museums offer free entry to some exhibits, and also host events for kids. Parks - Head to your local park to enjoy the playgrounds, games areas, courts and splash pads. Some even have trails for kids to enjoy. Beach - It doesn't have to be sunny to enjoy the beach, you can go rock pooling, crabbing, make sandcastles, or enjoy a walk along the headland. Library - If the weather is awful, head indoors and borrow books, audiobooks, dvds. Cooking - Have your own mini bake-off, or Come Dine With Me challenge. Playdates - Invite friends over for an afternoon of socialising. Boardgames - Enjoy a little sibling rivalry with rounds of Monopoly or stretch your brain with Scrabble.

Fashion fans rush to buy ‘best T-shirt dress' from H&M that's ‘basic but not', costs £11 & ‘actually looks flattering'
SHOPPERS have been raving about the most comfortable dress ever from H&M that is a 'flattering large T-shirt.' Fashion lovers have said they are 'running' to the high street store to stock up on the staple item for summer. 6 TikTok user @ayelashayla shared: 'RUN to H&M for the new basics T-shirt dress that *actually* looks flattering when you wear it with the waist. 'And it's such a good price and perfect for summer. 'And it's cotton! Basic, but not.' The Waisted T-shirt Dress comes in five sizes and costs a purse-friendly £12.99. You can pick it up in a classic white or black, but there is also burgundy, blue and light grey. It thankfully can suit a number of different body shapes too, and is available in sizes XS to XL. While many T-shirts are baggy and shapeless, Ayla showed how the H&M dress is slightly tapered in at the waist for a more flattering fit. The description reads: 'Short dress in soft cotton jersey with a round, rib-trimmed neckline, dropped shoulders and sleeves that end just above the elbows. 'Shaping darts at the back of the waist for a nipped-in silhouette.' Many people seemed to love her video, and it has racked up 17,000 likes. The UK's best M&S for clothes One person commented: 'Throw an underbust corset over the top, chunky jewelery, thigh high socks and ankle boots.' Another added: 'Wore this with black blazer - i looked hot.' And a third commented: 'I have it in white and blue and it's soooo nice.' We recently shared how H&M has axed a popular perk for shoppers. H&M 's special birthday offer for members is being scrapped from March 17. The move is likely to disappoint loyal customers who currently get a generous 25 per cent off an item each year on their birthday. Currently new members also receive a 10 per cent discount when signing up to the scheme but this offer will be cut too. The annual discount and new member deal will instead be replaced with "exclusive" prices, as well as event invites. Loyalty members will continue to have pre-access to sales. 6 A spokesperson told The Sun: "H&M is evolving its membership program to stay relevant for customers and deliver more exclusive benefits throughout the year. "The current birthday offer will be phased out, making way for rewards such as member prices, pre-access to sales and exclusive event invitations. This applies to the welcome offer as well. We are making these changes with the aim of continually enhancing the H&M Membership experience and ensuring our community feels rewarded year-round." The changes comes after the chain increased fees for online returns. Why the high street still rules! Fabulous' Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer shares her thoughts. I WAS 10 when I first discovered the utter joy of high-street shopping for clothes with my mum and nan. Going into town on Saturday became a family tradition – a girls' day out we would look forward to all week. My mum's favourite shop was M&S, where she would gaze at jackets with big shoulder pads and floral sundresses, while my nan would make a beeline for John Lewis and their classic coats and elegant court shoes. I was all over Tammy Girl – Etam's little sister – and Chelsea Girl, which was later rebranded to high-street fave River Island. I would spend hours in the changing rooms, watched keenly by my two cheerleaders, who gave the thumbs up – or thumbs down – on what I was trying on. Frilly ra-ra skirts, duster coats, polka dot leggings, puff balls, boob tubes… I tried them all, often making my nan howl with laughter. Fashion wasn't so fast back in the 1980s and every item was cherished and worn until it fell apart – literally – at the seams. At 18, I went to art college and my tastes became more refined. Extra cash from a part-time job in a bar meant I could move on to slightly more expensive stores, like Warehouse, Miss Selfridge and the mecca that was Topshop. I knew at this point I wanted to work in fashion because the high street had totally seduced me. One day, I wrote an article for a competition in a glossy mag about my love of retail therapy and my favourite LBD – and I won! That led me to where I am today – Fashion Director of Fabulous. It's not just me that loves the high street – big-name designers are fans, too. When Cool Britannia hit in the '90s, they all turned up in one big store. Designers at Debenhams was a stroke of genius by Debenhams CEO Belinda Earl, designer Ben de Lisi and fashion director Spencer Hawken, who introduced diffusion ranges from John Rocha, Matthew Williamson and Betty Jackson, to name a few. This meant we could all afford a bit of luxury and wear a well-known designer's signature style. Years later, I hosted a night with Debenhams and Fabulous for 250 readers, who were in awe meeting all the designers. It was a real career highlight for me. In 2004, H&M started rolling out their international designer collabs. Karl Lagerfeld was first, followed by Roberto Cavalli, Marni, Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Sonia Rykiel, Comme des Garçons, Balmain, Versace and many, many more. I could barely contain myself! Then in 2007, Kate Moss launched her first collection with Topshop, with thousands queuing along London's Oxford Street. I remember sitting behind Ms Moss and Topshop boss Philip Green at a London Fashion Week Topshop Unique catwalk show. I had my three-year-old daughter, Frankie, in tow and we both made the news the next day after we were papped behind Kate, my supermodel girl crush. At the time, the high street was on fire. Who needed designer buys when Mango stocked tin foil trousers just like the designer Isabel Marant ones and you could buy a bit of Barbara Hulanicki's legendary brand Biba from Topshop? High street stores even started to storm London Fashion week. Although Topshop Unique had shown collections since 2001, in 2013 River Island showed its first collection in collaboration with global superstar Rihanna, who was flown in by a friend of mine on a private jet. KER-CHING! A whole new generation of high profile high street collabs followed. Beyoncé created Ivy Park with Topshop's Philip Green and I even flew to LA for Fabulous to shoot the Kardashian sisters in their bodycon 'Kollection' for Dorothy Perkins. I am pleased to say they were the absolute dream cover stars. Fast forward to 2024 and while the high street doesn't look exactly like it did pre-Covid, it has made a gallant comeback. Stores like M&S, Reserved and Zara, and designer collabs like Victoria Beckham X Mango and Rochelle Humes for Next are giving me all the feels. The supermarkets have really come into their own, too, smashing it with gorgeous collections that look expensive, but at prices that still allow us to afford the weekly shop. The last 30 years of high street fashion have been one big adventure for me. Bring on the next 30!
