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.
"The cut and style are akin to a premium brand. It's stunning!"
A third person said: "Beautiful dress, fully lined and top quality material.
"Great fit and cut even for plus-size people like me. Looks way more expensive than it is."

Sainsbury's knocks 50% off ‘stomach hiding' dress that ‘looks way more expensive' & is a flattering pick for holidays
IF you're still on the hunt for the perfect dress for your summer holidays, look no further. Sainsbury's shoppers can now pick up a stylish and flattering buy for cheaper than ever. 2 The Tu X Scion Golden Print Tiered Midaxi Summer Dress is available for £11.25 Credit: Tu Whether you're jetting of somewhere exotic or enjoying the summer sun at home, an affordable item can help transform your look. Sainsbury's has slashed the price of the The fashionable look was previously listed for £22.50 but has now been reduced to just £11.25. That's a whopping 50% savings for savvy customers looking to brighten their summer wardrobe. Read More On Summer Buys This stylish look has been described as "a staple for day-to-night dressing". The summer dress comes in a golden geo print, which designers say gives an "elevated look". And it has even been designed to flatter your figure, helping to hide your stomach. "Cut to a midaxi length, it has been made in a sleeveless style with a tiered hem for a flattering silhouette," the product description read. Most read in Fabulous The dress is crafted from a viscose blend for a summer-friendly lightweight feel. According to designers, this is "the perfect choice for holidays and summer outings". shoppers go wild for Tesco's perfect summer co-ord The dress was made in collaboration with the British brand Scion, joyfully mixing a bold pattern and confident colours with Scandi influences. Sainsbury's shoppers rated the dress an average of four stars out of five. "A really great little dress in a great colour. Fabric is light and looks much more expensive than it is," wrote one shopper. Another person described the look as a "gorgeous flattering summer dress". They added that it was great for "stomach hiding", while another reviewer dubbed it a "great quality fit". Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
