Inside Scotland's ‘secret' New Look store that always has a sale on and summer dresses for just £7
FASHION fans are in a frenzy after discovering a New Look store where everything is reduced and summer dresses are only £7. So if your wardrobe is in need of a refresh but you don't want to break the bank, you've come to the right place. 7 7 7 7 The high street favourite has around 350 stores across the UK. Usually, massive discounts to clear stock are only seen at branches that are shutting down, with prices slashed by up to 70 per cent. But the Greenock clearance outlet in Inverclyde is open year-round and offers huge savings for shoppers. Mum-of-four Lisa, from Scotland, shared the hidden gem store on social media while enjoying a couple of rare hours to herself. In her TikTok clip (@twinniesandtwo), she said: "So I am going to go to the New Look Clearance Outlet in Greenock. "I'm going to have a wee look and just see because I need to get some holiday bits." And Lisa wasn't disappointed, as she stumbled across lots of summer bargains including "super cute" floral dresses, an on-trend crochet frock and shoes for £10 or less. "There's loads of dresses just as you walk in and they're all £7", she said. "There's so many different sizes." She added: "Up the stairs there's loads of shoes. There's little heels and there's also little sandals. I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too "Definitely good for having a wee look if you're going on holiday." Overall, the savvy mum spent just £38 and bagged "a few dresses" for herself and two summer outfits for her little girl. And social media users have been left stunned over the clearance store. "Oh wow fabulous, wish they had one near me", one person gushed. A second wrote: "Ughhh, now I need to go empty my bank account this week." 7 7 7 A third added: "I live here, I need to get it checked out cos New Look was always quite pricey but it's a clearance shop, I'll be right there." Meanwhile, a fourth chimed in: "There used to be one through in Cumbernauld but it shut down. I was gutted! Defo need to make the trip to Greenock now." New Look once boasted around 600 stores across the UK back in 2018, but it has been scaling back rapidly as shopping habits shift and pressures mount. The retailer has also pulled out of Ireland completely, shutting all 26 stores there last year and affecting 347 jobs. Despite the closures, New Look said it remains committed to investing in its stores where possible, alongside major growth in its online business. It recently invested over £3 million in Greater Manchester stores to trial new shopping experiences linking online and in-store shopping. How New Look reinvented itself from a teen shop By Fabulous Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend "REMEMBER on a Saturday you'd meet up with your mates in your local town or city centre for a nosey around the shops? Well, if you were like me you'd end up in a New Look." says Clemmie Fieldsend. "New Look was always one of those shops that when all else failed you could rely on them for whatever you needed. Your college uniform, night out or disco outfit - whatever was required you could count on New Look to meet your style needs." Clemmie says: "I felt myself growing out of New Look and thought of it as a younger brand that wouldn't have what I wanted but a quick scroll through their website or look through stores has proved me wrong. This summer they are serving up some on trend delights from clothing to accessories and of course their comfortable footwear. Recently they've lured in Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle for an exclusive Spring Edit plus fashion influencer Georgina Lennon. They're providing quality basics, elevated stables and trend lead designs that echo the New Look we all once loved but just a bit more grown up."

14 Effortlessly Stylish Amazon Dresses on Sale That I'm Eyeing Ahead of My Trip to France—Prices Start at $14
My summer calendar is filling up fast, with long-haul trips to France and weekend getaways to Fire Island and Montauk on the horizon—and I'm already planning the vacation outfits. Amazon just dropped major markdowns on summer dresses for the long weekend, including flowy sundresses, breezy maxi dresses, and other versatile options starting at just $14. As a travel writer, I'm always searching for pieces that are lightweight, easy to pack, and stylish enough to go from a day of exploring to an impromptu dinner. Whether I need a wrinkle-resistant wedding guest dress, a casual midi dress for a beach day, or a throw-on-and-go look for sightseeing, travel dresses are the easiest way to pull together an outfit with zero effort. Right now, Amazon has tons of travel-ready options discounted during its Memorial Day sale—some up to 62 percent off. So, these are the 14 styles I'm eyeing ahead of my upcoming summer getaways. This floral maxi practically begs for a stroll through a European market. The fitted bodice balances the flowy, tiered skirt, and the open back with a bow detail adds an airy, romantic flair. Style it with espadrilles and a straw tote for a picnic, or slip on flat white sandals and a denim jacket for a day of exploring cobblestone streets. At just $14, this breezy V-neck shift is the most affordable—and versatile—piece on this list. It's ideal for travel days, sightseeing, or casual dinners thanks to its comfortable T-shirt dress-style fit and pockets. Try it with minimalist sneakers and a crossbody bag for daytime, then switch to wedges and gold jewelry to head out at night. The ruffled bust and square neckline give this A-line midi a polished, vintage-inspired feel. Perfect for summer weddings, rooftop dinners, or stylish afternoons at a vineyard. Add kitten heels and a structured bag for an elevated look, or keep it relaxed with flat sandals and oversized sunglasses. With its smock bodice, fluttery straps, and flowy silhouette, this sundress is the definition of effortless. Dress it up with lace-up sandals and statement earrings, or throw on sneakers and a cropped cardigan for a casual, travel-friendly look. The high waistline also makes it incredibly flattering in photos. If you love a coastal-inspired look, this striped button-front dress fits the bill. The adjustable drawstring waist flatters without sacrificing comfort, and the cotton-blend fabric keeps it light and breathable. Add white sneakers and a raffia bag for a relaxed daytime outfit, or swap in leather sandals and a red lip for an evening out. This breezy maxi dress has all the elements of a great travel piece: smocking for a comfy, secure fit, roomy pockets, and a shape that works for everything from dinners on the beach to cruise ship cocktail hours. A reviewer raved that it's 'super comfortable for all-day wear,' and we love that it comes in tons of color options. With subtle stripes and smocked detailing, this midi dress walks the line between tailored and bohemian. Wear it with a cropped blazer for meetings, or lean into its relaxed vibe with crochet flats and a woven crossbody. The linen-like texture makes it a travel win, especially if you're heading somewhere warm. Puffed sleeves, dainty front bows, and a floaty skirt make this mini one of the most romantic options of the bunch. It's also incredibly packable, and shoppers rave about its comfort and cute fit. Wear it with ballet flats and a bold lip for a no-fuss outfit that still turns heads—one shopper said it was their go-to dress for Europe. Equal parts stretchy and structured, this ribbed knit dress is ideal for transitional weather or flights. Add a denim jacket or oversized blazer when it's chilly, or go solo with sandals and sunglasses in warmer weather. One reviewer who packed it for Italy said it folded down small and didn't wrinkle, calling it 'perfect for travel.' Another traveler who wore it on a cruise noted, 'It was so comfy, I'm buying more.' The halter neckline and bold floral print make this sundress a standout. Great for dinner dates or beachside cocktails, it also gets high marks from shoppers for being wrinkle-resistant and suitcase-friendly. Pair it with platform sandals or throw it on over a swimsuit for a stylish cover-up moment. This lightweight tiered maxi dress has vacation written all over it. Made with a breathable linen-like fabric, it drapes beautifully and catches the breeze without clinging—perfect for warm, sunny destinations. The subtle ruffled sleeves and square neckline dress it up just enough for dinner or a beach wedding, but it's just as easy to throw on with flat sandals and a sunhat for sightseeing. This short-sleeve babydoll dress is a year-round staple that fits just about any travel itinerary. The soft, breathable denim makes it ideal for warm weather, while the tiered silhouette and button-front detail give it a polished edge. Toss it on with sneakers and a tote for a casual day of walking tours, or add a leather belt and boots for a more structured, transitional look. The black piping detail against the crisp white fabric adds a sophisticated touch to this midi dress. It's perfect for travelers who like a neutral base but still want a little flair. Go full minimalist with black flats and a structured bag, or add a pop of color with red shoes and matching accessories. This A-line dress is a chameleon—simple enough to style any way you want, but detailed enough to feel elevated. It has adjustable straps and side pockets (a must when sightseeing), and works just as well with espadrilles and a woven tote as it does with slides and a linen shirt tied at the waist.

I Spent Hours Searching Amazon for the Best Summer Wedding Guest Dresses Under $50—Here Are My Top 12 Picks
It's exciting to share a couple's special day with them, but attending a wedding—especially multiple ceremonies in a short period of time—can be costly when you factor in travel, gifts, and your wedding guest dress. I'm attending two weddings this summer (including one in Europe), and I was able to cut costs by looking for summer wedding guest dresses at Amazon. I didn't have to spend my entire paycheck to find stylish dresses for these weddings, the retailer has options under $50 that are elegant enough to wear to any nuptials. Amazon's fashion hub is stocked with hundreds of options, including sleeveless and halter dresses in midi, maxi, and short lengths. Below, find 12 top-rated styles you'll want to wear beyond the weddings on your calendar. This high-neck maxi dress oozes effortless elegance with its subtle ruching and fitted skirt. It comes in 23 colors, including summer-approved shades like hot pink and cherry red. One Amazon shopper who feels like 'it's hard to find a dress that's elegant but makes you feel confident,' wore it to a wedding and loved how lightweight and comfortable it felt. Another reviewer wore it for a wedding and compared its coziness to a T-shirt dress. A little black dress is a wardrobe essential that'll come in handy when you have a lot of weddings on the calendar. This mini dress can be worn for occasions with more cocktail dress codes, and it doesn't take up too much space in a suitcase, according to one reviewer. This one-shoulder dress has caught shoppers' attention, with more than 1,000 already purchased this month. It's easy to see why, too. The dress has a tiered maxi skirt and lightweight fabric, and it comes in several vibrant floral patterns. The shoulder knot is also adjustable, so you can make the dress a couple of inches longer if you need. Instead of investing in a wedding guest dress you wear once, grab this versatile floral option that can be dressed up and down. It has 'very breathable' fabric to keep you comfortable in the heat and has a front tie you can tighten for a more cinched look. Dress it up with a pair of heels for your more formal events, or pair it with sandals for brunch with friends. This dress is guaranteed to help you exude a polished and sophisticated vibe. It has a mockneck design and graceful draping for a more unique look. It's also warm weather-approved by one reviewer, who wore it to a summer wedding and 'never felt hot.' This maxi dress has a one-shoulder design that has a gorgeous oversized bow and ruching along the side. The fabric has some stretch, according to one shopper, so you won't feel restricted. Another reviewer even wore it to a beach wedding and said it was comfortable and flattering. Flowy fabric is essential for hot summer weddings if you want to stay comfortable. Reviewers praise this dress for the 'very lightweight' material and built-in slip that ensures it's not see-through, so you can (comfortably) dance the night away. If you're heading to a destination wedding, you can count on this dress to remain 'wrinkle-free' right out of your suitcase. The flowy skirt and sleeveless design will also help keep you cool during any outdoor ceremonies. It'll be hard not to make a statement in this floral midi dress. It has a tie-front design you can make into a bow for a more romantic look. One reviewer wore it to a wedding in Mexico and said it had a 'silky smooth' feel that was better quality than a similar style they bought for double the price. Nearly 15,000 shoppers have given this maxi dress a five-star rating for its 'expensive' look at a wallet-friendly price. It has a floor-length skirt that's tall person-friendly and a ruffle side slit that gives it an elevated touch, making it perfect for black tie weddings. This floral maxi dress is so soft, comfortable, and fashionable that some shoppers are buying it in multiple colors. It has adjustable straps to make sure the fit is just how you want it, and it features a front slit that'll let you show off your shoes while allowing some air to flow around your legs. One shopper who considers themself a 'shortie' even noted that the length was perfect. Another wedding guest dress you can wear beyond ceremonies is this polished off-the-shoulder style. It comes in a simple ribbed fabric that makes it versatile whether you dress it up with a pair of heels and necklaces, or pair it with sandals and sunglasses for a nice beachside lunch. One reviewer said the lightweight material was perfect for a wedding in hot weather, while another traveler who took it on a cruise said it didn't hold wrinkles, which makes it perfect for packing.
