A tank top is an essential wardrobe staple, so it's not surprising the Contour Popper Top from Molly Mae's fashion brand Maebe has sold out due to popular demand.
We searched high and low to find a similar alternative that is in stock, and more affordable, which is when we stumbled across New Look's White Rib Button Through Tank Top.
New Look's elevated take on the humble tank top retails for £12.99, whereas the Maebe design fetches £50, which is quite steep if you ask us.
Crafted from a cotton and elastane blend, this tank top provides enough stretch to hug the body comfortably.It boasts a slash neckline, button front fastening and slip front detail at the lower hem of the design. Available in 10 colours, but stock is selling fast. BUY NOW FOR £12.99
The New Look Button Through Tank Top boasts a slash neckline, while the Maebe version is a tight round neck.
The high street number has been crafted from a cotton and elastane blend, which provides just enough stretch to hug the body in the right places without sagging or causing discomfort. Believe me, I have worn it for weeks and it's buttery soft, lightweight and breathable – even to wear abroad and travel in. While the Maebe alternative has been crafted from a semi-brushed knitted jersey fabric. More Trending
The New Look tank features ribbed detailing, and button front fastening, whereas Maebe's fastening uses snap buttons instead. https://www.instagram.com/p/DAgvneCOWIT/?hl=en
What I love about the New Look Tank Top is it is comfortable to wear, stylish, but also versatile. You can unfasten a few buttons at the top of the neck, or lower down to create a flare silhouette and hourglass fit. Alternatively you can wear fully buttoned up.
The sleeveless tank top can be paired with jeans, culottes, a mini or midi skirt, even an A-line skirt to accentuate the flare creation on the bottom half. However, what we love best is New Look's top is available in 10 colours, including white, black, light blue, brown, navy, green, pink, red, orange and yellow.
Plus, the price tag is much more purse friendly, as New Look's Tank Top retails for £12.99, and the Maebe tank fetches £50, which is a hefty saving of £37.01.

New Look's ‘fabulous' £20 denim midi dress looks just like £1k Jacquemus version

New Look has slashed the price of its 'fabulous' bodycon denim midi dress that's a 'great fit' from £35 to £20, and it's the perfect alternative to Jacquemus' £1.1k version Although you might think of denim as a typically casual material, there's a fresh new take on the wardrobe staple that's perfect for both casual and sophisticated events – a denim bodycon dress. If the thought of bodycon anything fills you with dread don't fear, because we've found the perfect pick that's flattering and comfortable to wear. New Look's Navy Stretch Denim Square Neck Bodycon Midi Dress has a sleek silhouette and easy-to-style design, and it just landed in the summer sale, slashing the price from £35 to £20. Not to mention, it also looks very similar to the Jacquemus La Robe de-Nîmes Spoglio maxi dress, which is much pricier at £1,135. Whilst the Jacquemus one is a maxi length, the New Look version is actually more wearable thanks to its midi hemline. Working on all heights and body types, the shorter length means you don't need to worry about it trailing on the ground, restricting your movement or even just what shoes to wear with it. Instead, the midi hemline makes it much more versatile and easy to wear. Pair it with some sandals and a linen shirt for an easy holiday outfit, or some slingback heels and statement earrings for evenings out. The Stretch Denim Bodycon Midi Dress has a square neckline that's flattering on all bust sizes and offers plenty of support with its wide straps and stretch denim. The material is also brilliant for sculpting and smoothing your figure, giving a sleek, streamlined look. If you do prefer something a little less fitted, this Topshop Dropped Waist Structured Denim Midi Dress (£58) is the best of both worlds with a fitted bodice and a flared A-line skirt with lots of volume. We also love the Reclaimed Vintage Tie Back Denim Midi Dress in Indigo, which is £45.99 with an adjustable tie back and flowing midi skirt. However shoppers have been loving the fit of New Look's Stretch Denim Bodycon Midi Dress, rating it five out of five stars. One wrote: 'Lovely dress, nice length and great fit due to stretch in fabric lovely for summer.' Whilst another agreed: 'Fabulous dress - love love it!' The dress is still available in all sizes from a six to an 18, although there's no telling how long it will be available at the discounted price. Shop the Stretch Denim Bodycon Midi Dress for £20 now.

As of writing, Next's linen dress is available in sizes six to 26, with some tall sizes included, across two colours, white and lilac, but the latter is selling out faster. For fashion fans looking to shop around, the high street offers an abundance of similar styles, as we have spotted New Look's White Tie Front Shirred Midi Dress priced at £33.99. Those who want to invest in the on-trend butter yellow colourway, then a similar style from Nobody's Child is this Floral Embroidered Melissa Midi Dress that costs £79. As for Next's Pure Linen Midi Dress, it has received all glowing five-star reviews from fashion fans who think so highly of it that they are "surprised it's not gone off the shelves." A positive review read: "It's a gorgeous dress and very flattering on especially if you want to disguise a tummy. Slightly transparent on top but nipple covers do the trick. I'm surprised it's not gone off the shelves. "I have the white and I am pleased that the style will last many years in my wardrobe. The linen surprisingly and pleasantly doesn't get too wrinkly." A second happy customer wrote: "Bought for my daughter as we had seen it in shop, she fell in love with it, so bought her it, lovely dress everyone comments on it, looks lovely on, and very well made." Fashion deal of the week New Balance has just launched a massive sale ahead of the summer, with up to half-price off. Hate that break in period with stiff footwear? Then look no further than the Unisex RC42 Shoes, said to be "comfy straight out of the box", that have been reduced from £90 to just £45, saving shoppers 50 percent off the original asking price. Featuring the classic minimalist silhouette that can be worn with everything from denim jeans to leggings, these trainers have been particularly designed for those with an active lifestyle.

Shoppers can't stop praising the New Balance RC42 Shoes, as they have earned a 4.2 rating and glowing reviews for their "comfortable" design that means they "don't even have to break them in." One five-star review read: "Very cute and comfortable right out of the box. On trend and has a somewhat cushioned midsole—perfect for wearing all day." And someone else simply said: "Very pretty, good for a wedding guest or summer outing." While there are no negative reviews as of yet, which speaks to the frock's popularity, it is worth noting that, as one review above suggests, it is slightly see-through. For some shoppers, this may pose an issue, so it is something to consider before purchasing.
