How New Look has stepped up its game from ‘basic' to ‘chic' & 10 of the best buys to nab for a WHOLE summer wardrobe
NEW LOOK is one of the staple streets on the high street.
Known for its reasonable pricing, you know you can always bag yourself good wardrobe staples without breaking the bank.
But another thing New Look does well is summer.
And this year the brand has really upped the game with one of their chicest collection today.... and you'll be wanting to add so many buys straight to your basket.
From flowy fabrics to comfort being key whilst vibrant prints and colours make the whole range scream summer, this is certainly not one to sleep on.
Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has you covered, showing you ten of the brand's best pieces to buy now.
The top
This sweetheart neckline top comes in a linen fabric which makes it perfect for summer.
With a tie at the back you can add more shape to the top as you wish.
A great 'jeans and a nice top' combination, it's a really versatile top that you could also dress up with a midi skirt and heels for a summery evening out, or take to the office - meaning more cost per wear.
The dress
For just less than £40 this check midi dress is an absolute steal.
It wouldn't look out of place on sites like Damson Madder and Sister Jane, but yet New Looks version is just a fraction of the price.
The shirring on the front of the bust makes this extra stretchy for those with a fuller cup and the added bow detailing on the hip gives this an extra bit of oomph compared to a normal midi dress.
Not only that but it looks super comfortable too - adds immediately to basket.
The bag
New Look has a wide selection of bags, but this one in particular is a stand out.
The raffia bucket bag style is big enough to fit all your essentials in and will also go with so many pieces in your wardrobe.
Whether you want to take it on holiday or as an everyday summer bag then this is a perfect option.
Plus it's a great price at £27.99, similar bags retail for more than double this.
The shorts
Shorts, £19.99
Gingham shorts are all the rage this summer and this red pair from New Look is just £19.99.
The elasticated waist makes them extra comfy and easy to wear and the white scallop trim detailing makes them feel more premium.
Whether you're wanting a pair to potter around in the garden or for your summer holiday this pair would look great with a graphic t-shirt, cut blouse or a classic white shirt.
The Tee
T-shirt, £14.99
Graphic t-shirts are all over the high street and are an easy throw on piece to add to your wardrobe.
You can inject some colour with this one for just £14.99.
Great to wear with denim shorts, linen trousers or skirts - it's a really easy way of making your look feel and look summery.
The skirt
Mini skirt, £24.99
If you want the look of a sarong style skirt without the faff of actually tying one then this option for New Look could be for you.
With the tie detail already in place at the side it's done all the hard work for you.
Perfect for your holidays with flat sandals, a raffia bag and a t-shirt or wear over your swimwear for a stylish beach look.
The co-ord
Midi skirt, £32.99
This printed a-line midi skirt is super fun for summer.
Bright and colourful with a postcard style print, the elasticated waistband makes it super comfortable, before flaring out into the a-line style which makes it even more flattering.
Whilst it does come with a matching top to make it into a handy co-ord you could also mix it up with a t-shirt, shirt or blouse depending on your preference.
The trainer
Trainers, £32.99
Colourful trainers are still very popular, but instead of spending nearly £100 on a pair, New Look has options for less than half that price.
For just £32.99 this red and pink pair is not only a great colour combination, but will make you bang on trend without spending too much cash.
Plus they'll be great for wearing day in day out.
The sandal
Heels, £35.99
Finding a pair of heels that are comfortable is no mean feet.
However, New Look is renowned for how comfortable its shoes can be.
This brown woven pair has a good sturdy block heel, ankle strap for extra support and also comes in white depending on your preference.
With head to toe padding and a flexible sole you'll be able to stay on your feet for hours.
The trousers
Like a lot of other pieces the brand has really thought about comfort with the tie elasticated waist and loose fitting flow of the trousers, making them breathable and cool.
The flowy style makes them great for this time of year.

Kneecap lead anti-Starmer chant during politically charged Glastonbury set
Kneecap began a politically charged set at Glastonbury on Saturday afternoon, leading the crowds in chants of 'Fuck Keir Starmer!' The Irish rap act took to the stage at 4pm for their controversial set, which had been criticised by the UK prime minister as not 'appropriate'. The PM's comment came after band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence for holding a Hezbollah flag at a London gig last November. 'We understand colonialism and we understand how important it is to support each other internationally,' said Ó hAnnaidh on the band's support for the people of Gaza who have suffered at the hands of Israel's military and through a lack of aid deliveries. Later on Saturday, an Avon and Somerset police spokesperson said the force was assessing comments made by Kneecap during their set. They told the Guardian: 'We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts stage at Glastonbury festival this afternoon. 'Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.' During the Kneecap performance, a sea of at least 200 Palestinian flags made it difficult for cameras to get a clear shot of the stage from inside the crowd. 'The BBC editor is going to have some job,' Chara joked, referring to the flags. Earlier the broadcaster confirmed it would not be able to support a live stream of the performance. The broadcaster has not yet confirmed when the footage will be available on iPlayer. Users of the Glastonbury app received a push notification almost an hour before the band were due to perform saying the West Holts stage was closed. However, spectators were still getting in 20 minutes before the start of the set. The show opened with clips of news and various TV discussion shows, with politicians and commentators saying the group should be banned and had been 'avoiding justice for far too long'. There was booing from the crowd for Sharon Osborne calling them a 'pathetic band'. 'Glastonbury I'm a free man!' shouted Ó hAnnaidh, to wild cheers from the crowd. 'If anybody falls down, you've got to pick them up. We've got to keep each other safe,' he added. The group, who rap in English and Irish, performed an energetic set including Your Sniffer Dogs Are Shite, Get Your Brits Out and Fine Art in front of a backdrop which said 'Free Palestine', occasionally varying with other phrases including 'Fuck Badenoch', referring to the leader of the Tory party. The crowds chanted: 'Free Mo Chara, free free Mo Chara!' 'Mo Chara's back in court for a trumped up terrorism charge,' said Móglaí Bap, also known as Naoise Ó Cairealláin. 'It's not the first time there's a miscarriage of justice for an Irish person in the British criminal justice system,' he said. Ó hAnnaidh cut a defiant figure, saying his plight in the courts was nothing compared to the suffering of the Palestinian people. The band urged people to come out to support Ó hAnnaidh at his next court date at Westminster magistrates court. 'I want to say a big thank you to the Eavis family [organisers of Glastonbury],' Ó hAnnaidh added, for 'holding strong' in the face of criticism. Asked on Wednesday about the controversy, organiser Emily Eavis said: 'There have been a lot of really heated topics this year, but we remain a platform for many, many artists from all over the world and, you know, everyone is welcome here.' On numerous occasions, the trio chanted 'Fuck Keir Starmer!', with the crowd passionately shouting back. They also had the crowds chanting the Irish republican slogan, 'tiocfaidh ár lá', which translates as 'our day will come'. The band laughed with the crowd asking: 'Is anyone going to see Rod Stewart tomorrow?' The 80-year-old rocker was criticised ahead of his Pyramid stage performance after saying he thought the public should give Nigel Farage 'a chance'. Describing him as Rod the Prod, Ó hAnnaidh said: 'I mean, the man's older than Israel.' Paloma Faith, the musician and public speaker, was in the crowd for Kneecap's performance. She told the Guardian: 'A lot of people are now being demonised because there's such a fear of terrorism. And I understand that fear but I don't think that Kneecap have anything to do with that. They're all about the soul and the heart of freedom of people. 'I don't know anyone who likes to see children being killed on such a huge scale for any reason and I think [Kneecap] stand by that. Obviously they come from the perspective of a marginalised community at the hands of British colonialism.' She said artists who speak out on human rights issues were worried about being misquoted by the press or having their words taken out of context at a time when peaceful activists are coming under increasing attack from governments. She added: 'Everyone's a bit scared now. People are going to jail for stuff that isn't what we perceive as violent. It's scary times.' It comes after the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, said on Monday that the pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action would be proscribed under anti-terror laws. If approved in parliament in a vote next week, this would make membership and support of the group illegal and punishable with a prison sentence under anti-terror laws. On stage, Kneecap reiterated their support for the group and band member JJ Ó Dochartaigh, known as DJ Próvaí, wore a Palestine Action T-shirt, underneath a red boiler suit associated with the group as he surfed the crowd.

Woman's Hour Weekend Woman's Hour: SEND, Christiane Amanpour, Self Esteem, Return of the bullet bra
The Department for Education has just released the latest figures that show another rise in the number of Education, Health and Care Plans, or EHCPs, in England. These are the legal documents that outline what support a child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities is entitled to. The BBC's education reporter Kate McGough, Jane Harris, vice chair of the Disabled Children's Partnership, and Jacquie Russell from West Sussex County Council joined Clare McDonnell. Christiane Amanpour has been at the forefront of international news for more than 40 years, reporting from all over the world as a journalist and war reporter as well as being CNN's Chief International Anchor, steering the helm of several programmes including CNN International's nightly interview programme Amanpour. She's now launched a podcast, Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex-Files with Jamie Rubin. It's a weekly foreign affairs show, co-hosted with Jamie, a former U.S. diplomat and Assistant Secretary of State and also her ex-husband. Christiane joined Clare to discuss. The musician, songwriter and actress, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem won the 2021 BBC Music Introducing Artist of the Year Award and achieved a nomination for the Mercury Prize in 2022 with Prioritise Pleasure. More recently she has performed the lead role of Sally Bowles in the West End production of Cabaret. She talks to Anita Rani about her new album, A Complicated Woman, and performing on the Park Stage at Glastonbury this weekend. The bullet bra has made a recent return to the catwalk and to the cover of British Vogue, where singer Dua Lipa can be seen sporting a blush satin Miu Miu creation in the July issue. But will the silhouette, once favoured by Marilyn Monroe and Madonna, cut through to the high street? And what does that mean for the comfortable t-shirt bras that have been going strong since lockdown? Julia Hobbs, British Vogue's contributing senior fashion features editor has recently road-tested the bullet bra. She joins Clare to discuss the experience, along with Karolina Laskowska, a lingerie designer and the director of The Underpinnings Museum.
