John Lewis said: "Combining dual action technology, this duvet works in response to your body's natural way to regulate temperature, helping to keep you comfortable night after night. How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. "The Temperate® fibre filling and HYDROCOOL® technology applied to the fabric work together to wick moisture away from the skin, helping you to enjoy a more restful night's sleep." More hacks to keep cool Corey Sims at The expert added that you can also fill a spray bottle with water, and use it to spray your curtains, which will lower the temperature of your home. "Dampen your curtains to cool the room," the expert advised toasty homeowners. "As air blows across the wet drapes, evaporating water absorbs heat and lowers the room temperature. "The hot weather also ensures the curtains dry quickly without smelling damp."

Shop the end of summer sales like a pro, with savings as big as £397.50
WHETHER you are looking for great deals on luxury items or just want to save a few quid on your last-minute holiday wardrobe, we have you covered. High-street sales are the perfect way to nab a designer buy for a more purse-friendly price. Advertisement In fact, the only time I treat myself to a designer item is if it has been slashed in price in the sales. Follow these top tips to make sure you are a clever sales shopper, sticking to a plan rather than going rogue and buying something you never wear! Shopping for your signature style in the sales will save you time and money AND help you build a classic curated wardrobe. Online Vs in store I prefer online shopping in the sales for many reasons. Advertisement read more in shopping Online takes all of the stress out of rummaging through sales rails looking for your size, only to find that it isn't there. Carefully filter everything you are looking for, applying the correct sizes, brands, category, colours and price to find your perfect piece and save you hours. I am less likely to panic buy something online than I am in store (step forward the Sando sheepskin coat that I can't wear because I am petrified I will ruin it in the rain!). Quite often, I have had my eye on something in store earlier in the season, so I know how it fits, that the fabric is good quality and that it is something I need - and have waited patiently all season for it to be reduced. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive This is the best way to curate a considered wardrobe rather than give yourself a quick shopping fix, and that way I know I will love the piece for years to come. Look for brands with the most discount on sites like 25 Jumer, was £420, now £210 by Toteme at Net-a-Porter Credit: Toteme At net-a-porter 25 Dress, £189, now £65, Mint Velvet Credit: Advertisement 25 Leather loafers, were £59.99, now £35.99, Mango Credit: Last-minute holiday bargains I also look for buys that will top up my existing holiday wardrobe. I may take most of the same old stuff on hols every year, but a couple of top-up bits can make my wardrobe feel all sparkly and new again. So a swimsuit that fits well, a new bag or pair of sandals and one new dress or co-ord are all I need each year. Advertisement Swimwear quite often sells out in the most popular sizes, but this swimsuit by Hunza G is one size fits all - which makes it the most liberating swimwear label of all time! Another top tip is to look on sale sites all year round - sells off Net-a- Porter sale pieces for a fraction of the price 25 Swimsuit, was £185, now £148, Hunza G at Liberty Credit: 25 Sandals, were £85, now £42.50, John Lewis Credit: Advertisement 25 Dress, was £427, now £129, Haight at Credit: Look for clothes that whisper not scream If something has been a huge Instagram trend - like cow print, jelly shoes or bubble skirts - then they are probably going to be a one-trick style pony, so you should steer clear when buying in the sales, as the trend will likely disappear as quickly as it started. Instead, look for items that you will reach for again and again, and will have longevity in your wardrobe. Go for classics that won't date: a well-cut coat, a pair of tailored shorts or an Oxford shirt, for example Advertisement These items are wardrobe staples that will work hard and stand the test of time. 25 Coat, was £189.99, now £150, H&M Credit: 25 Bermuda shorts, were £75, now £30, Hush Credit: 25 Shirt, was £85, now £42.50, COS Credit: Advertisement Think outside of the season Shops often put past season's clothes onto sale rails so, even if it is absolutely sweltering outside and all you can think about is summer dresses, don't rule out great bargains like cashmere, coats and boots. If you do your research you can see what trends from last winter are still doing the rounds for Autumn/Winter '25. This year I will be looking for a designer quilted coat, leather knee boots and lightweight cashmere jumpers. Forward planning like this can save you a fortune!

Luxury materials like leather, suede and cashmere are always good sale investments - anything over 30% off on them is a real treat! But don't go for anything crazy - a rainbow-stripe cashmere dress is probably not going to leave your wardrobe that often! Black leather trousers, a designer bag or a brown suede jacket are great sale buys. 25 Leather trousers, were £259.99, now £129.99, Mango Credit: Advertisement 25 Suede jacket, was £299.99, now £179.99, Mango Credit: 25 Leather bag, was £795, now £397.50, Neous Credit: . Be practical I always look for practical pieces that are useful in everyday life, but they still need to be stylish, too - think: a waterproof dog-walking coat but make it fashion, a pair of great training leggings that give your squat the edge, or a pair of walking boots that will incentivise you to take that hike. When looking for practical pieces, I like to go to the specialist brands, like Barbour, Lululemon and Salomon, who do what they say on the tin. Advertisement 25 Coat, was £595, now £357, Barbour X Ganni at Net-a-Porter Credit: 25 Aligne leggings, were £88, now £34, Lululemon Credit: 25 Hiking boots, were £155, now £93, Salomon Credit: Who, what, where? Finally, I always ask myself these three questions. Advertisement Who am I buying this for? If it is to impress other people, get a reaction on social media or I'm trying to look like someone else, then I normally have a word with myself and step away, especially if it is a designer piece. Invest in yourself, and make sure the item suits your style. I have made huge mistakes in the past trying to look like someone whose style I admire, only to find the sale piece lying dormant in my wardrobe with its hefty price tag still attached, because it just doesn't suit me. These are sale items that are currently bringing me joy because they are so me!

Is there a gap in my wardrobe for this kind of item or do I already have something similar? I tend to be a repeat buyer, so I have to really think about whether it is worth investing in another piece of tailoring, for example. Advertisement Think about something you seem to reach for every time you open your wardrobe but don't have covered. For me that is a 'nice top' to wear with jeans or a pair of dressy shoes that don't have a heel. 25 Top, was £77. now £47, & Other Stories Credit: 25 Leather shoes, were £46, now £15.99, Parfois Credit: Advertisement Where am I wearing this piece? Is it for a special occasion? If so, think about rental as an alternative. Quite often, we now wear special-occasion pieces just a few times, so price per wear we don't get our money's worth. If it is a great work suit, a trench coat or a day dress that you know you will go to over and over again then nab yourself that bargain!

You can quite often get a 'new with tags' piece for cheaper than in the sales… Advertisement Happy shopping! What's the best style that suits everyone? ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes. Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street. First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist. Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out. Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: "There's something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them. "The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu. "I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don't look shorter. "Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans. "I know I'll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I'm ready to go." Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: "I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now! "Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn't exist any more. "With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer."
