Another Asda shopper shared the bargains they had found on the app
Fashionistas can bag the Spring/Summer 2025 collection fronted by supermodel Yasmin Le Bon, plus new celeb collabs – including a chic kidswear range by Erica Davies and a sunshine-filled drop from Billie Faiers.
And it's not just the clothes getting a makeover – the whole experience is sleeker, quicker and easier, with speedy self-checkouts, faster queues and slick Click & Collect.
Shoppers will also be able to pop into the brand-new Kitchen café, where staffers are dishing up hot meals, cold bites and stone-baked pizzas.
Liz Evans, Asda's Chief Commercial Officer for George and Retail, said: 'Our Asda Living stores have been a huge success – but as shopping habits change, we want to make it even easier for customers to enjoy quality, style and value with George at the heart of it."
The George label launched in 1989 when fashion guru George Davies teamed up with Asda to make the UK's first-ever supermarket clothing brand.
By 2004, it was the nation's biggest clothing retailer, and Asda launched its first Living store to expand into homeware.
Today,
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.

Construction worker killed after getting buried alive by ‘shifting dirt' in horror accident on site
Rescuers spent 13 hours trying to recover his body WORKPLACE HORROR Construction worker killed after getting buried alive by 'shifting dirt' in horror accident on site A CONSTRUCTION worker tragically died after becoming trapped beneath six feet of collapsing earth in Arizona. Ronald Andrew Baquera Jr., known as Ronnie, 44, was working on a site in Goodyear on Monday when a trench suddenly collapsed. Advertisement 3 Ronnie, a 44-year-old construction worker, tragically died after being trapped beneath six feet of collapsing earth Credit: 3 The dad-of-three was working in Goodyear on July 28 when a trench suddenly collapsed 3 An friend organised a vigil for him on Friday Credit: facebook/" Emergency crews were called to a construction site near Citrus and Lower Buckeye roads soon after 1pm on July 28, reports ABC15 News. They saw workers desperately using equipment to free Ronnie, who was trapped in a six-foot hole filled with fast-moving dirt. When crews took over, they noticed that as more dirt was being pulled out, more collapsed inward. Sensitive infrastructure on the site - including gas lines - meant crews had to use specialised equipment. Advertisement Tragically, within half an hour, the rescue turned into a gruelling 13-hour-long recovery mission. At around 2am on July 29, crews retrieved his body from the trench. Melissa Prado, the mum of two of Ronnie's children, told ABC15 News that the family is shocked. She said: "My daughter is really torn up. She spends almost every day with him. She's a little distraught, and my son's angry. Advertisement "They're not really coping too well. His hobby was his children.' Melissa said she is setting aside questions about what happened on that day. Oasis fan plunges to his death 'from upper tier' of Wembley stadium during reunion gig as witness reveals horror 'I'm sure it will come out,' she said. 'But I don't care to know right now.' Ronnie leaves behind two sons and a daughter. Advertisement His childhood friend Nate Costly organised a vigil at the site on Friday. People gathered to pay their respects to a man who would 'fix things with laughter or his hands', as gospel singer Shatera Williams described him. Nate wrote in a tribute posted on Facebook: 'Ronnie was a loving father and a loyal friend - brutally honest, endlessly caring, and unforgettable.' The state's worker-safety agency, ADOSH, told ABC15 that an investigation has been launched into whether there were safety violations at the site. Advertisement The outlet added that a safety report could take four to five months to complete. Just days later, Fred Gonzalez and his 18-year-old son were working in a trench just feet from the one that collapsed after being called to inspect nearby piping. Fred told local outlet AZ Central: 'It definitely feels eerie. We all are involved in the underground industry. "The trench they were working in was shored up with a metal box-like structure. It can happen.' Advertisement A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Ronnie's family with funeral and memorial expenses. It comes as a child died after becoming trapped in a storm drain during flash floods while playing outside with friends. Mason Kearns, 13, from Mount Airy, Maryland, was swept into the pipe on July 31 - just 20 feet from his home - after being caught in strong floodwaters.

New Mario game kept me up until 1am – it's a perfect multiplayer title for kids this summer or late nights with pals
A GREAT measure for a game is when it's so fun, you completely lose track of time. Ticking that box is Nintendo's revamped Super Mario Party Jamboree, which kept not only me but six pals awake until 1am. If you've got kids, this is an absolute dream family title. 11 Super Mario Party Jamboree is a favourite at home Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun 11 It's a brilliant Mario-themed party game Credit: Nintendo 11 The game has been upgraded for the new Nintendo Switch 2 Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun The game actually came out in October 2024, but it's just been upgraded for the new Nintendo Switch 2. WHAT IS SUPER MARIO PARTY JAMBOREE? This new version has some extra modes and mini-games, but it's largely the same game. Super Mario Party Jamboree (Nintendo Switch 2), £66.99 And it really is a good game. If you're new to the Mario Party franchise, it's basically a giant collection of mini-games with very low barriers to entry. You can just pick it up and play. It's fine to play solo, although it's way better if you've got someone else with you. We had friends visit recently, and it kept us up late into the night. It's moreish, like spicy crisps. Or most other Mario games. If you've ever played Jackbox Games, Mario Party serves a similar purpose. It's packed with loads of Mario-themed mini-games. Some of them demand speedy reactions, while others will challenge your memory. And some even involve physical movement – like flapping your arms in the air while holding the Joy-Con controllers to fly. If you're alone then you'll play against the computer. The Sun tries new Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart before it's out But with friends, you can take on each other – or even team up – in a bid to win. SUPER MARIO PARTY JAMBOREE GAMEPLAY The good thing is that all of the games are very simple. There are dozens on offer, and you'll easily pick any of them up in seconds. And they're all bright, colourful challenges where you'll play as (and alongside) iconic Mario characters. 11 You'll explore Mario's world and enjoy loads of mini-games Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun 11 Playing with friends makes it even more fun – especially if you have the camera accessory Credit: Nintendo One fun game saw me collecting coins on shifting sands. Spiky bars rolled right at me, so I had to quickly sidestep or leap in the air to dodge them. Another had me yanking bread out of an oven – but only once it had baked to perfection. Too soon? No coins! You can enjoy a sort of 'Grand Prix' of mini-game series, so you'll earn points after a few rounds – and then see who came out on top. If you've got four people playing at once, it's very high energy. This is great for a child's party, or an adult's party for that matter. 11 It's bright and colourful, and extremely easy to pick up Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game has some clever upgrades. They're mostly tucked into a new section of the game called Jamboree TV. One of the main differences here is a set of games built for mouse-style controls. That's made possible by the Switch 2's upgraded Joy-Cons, which can be placed on a surface to work just like a computer mouse. Picture Credit: 11 It's fun for players of all ages – even if you've never really played video games before Credit: Nintendo But it's worth noting that mouse control games require a single Joy-Con per person and a surface. Oh, and you can't use the Pro Controller for those games either, as it doesn't have mouse functionality. If you have the Nintendo camera accessory (keep in mind, this is £50!), you can play three games that make use of it. It's a bit like the old Xbox Kinect camera system. One involves following physical commands, which is fun if you like moving around. Probably the best is Goombalancing Act, where you try not to drop Goombas balancing on top of your head. 11 There are dozens of mini-games to play Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun So what's bad? Well, there are a few downsides. It took me quite a while to actually get playing. I'd say there's a good five minutes of unskippable content before you can start. It's not the end of the world, but I'd rather have just been able to get going right away. As well as that, the game has a £66.99 price tag attached. So you'll want to make sure you're going to get enough use out of it. IS SUPER MARIO PARTY JAMBOREE WORTH BUYING? It's always tempting to just stick on Mario Kart. And the new Mario Kart World is very good. 11 Some of the games make use of the Joy-Con mouse feature Credit: Nintendo In fact, it's probably enough reason to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 alone. But Super Mario Party Jamboree is a great alternative with loads of variety, and sparks a bit more chat than a regular Mario Kart game. You're also far less likely to see major skill differences on this versus Mario Kart. Rather than one person always winning, you might be good at one mini-game and rubbish at the next. 11 You'll recognise loads of classic Mario characters Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun There's loads of variety so you won't get bored. And it's simple enough for basically anyone to play – even people who aren't used to holding game controllers. This really is as close as it gets to "fun for the whole family". It's not exactly cheap at £67, but if you snap it up now, you'll probably get loads of play-time in over summer. And then again at Christmas. The Sun says: One of the best "family" games out there – but it's perfect for a night with friends too. A mini-game treasure trove that will hook Mario fans, and convert everyone else. 4.5/5 Super Mario Party Jamboree (Nintendo Switch 2), £66.99 11 Nintendo fans will get hours of fun from Super Mario Party Jamboree Credit: Nintendo All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed.
