I'm 5ft1 & there's a high street shop we've been missing out on for years – I was in shock at their great summer pieces
IF you want to give your wardrobe an upgrade for summer, you've come to the right place. And according to a fashionista, there's a high street shop we've all been sleeping on for years. 4 So forget H&M, Primark or Zara, as according to Pia Grace Smith, a content creator who describes herself as 'your 5ft1 clothes guru', you'll need to get down to New Look if you want clothes that will really turn heads this season. Posting on social media, the brunette beauty couldn't stop gasping after doing a huge haul in New Look. As well as trying on a blue mini dress and a red co-ord, Pia also found a stunning pair of Brown Crinkle Textured Striped Wide Leg Trousers, which she paired with a Dark Brown Button Up Vest. She even got her hands on a Black Mesh Floral Print Cowl Halterneck Maxi Dress - and it looks so expensive. Alongside the short clip, the influencer beamed: 'Sorry, have I been missing something for years??😍' Stunned by the gorgeous New Look buys, Pia, who is from the UK, added: 'I am shocked!! 'Wow, how many gorgeous pieces, quality is unreal and I loved it all haha SHOCK. 'I truly couldn't believe how nice the bits I chose were.' Pia managed to get her hands on a pair of striped trousers, which are priced at £29.99 and are available in three colours - black, green and Pia's choice, brown. And it's not just Pia who loves them, as online shoppers have praised them as 'comfortable, lightweight and perfect for holiday.' Fashion Editor Abby shows you how to wear this dress for every occasion this summer. As well as this, not only are they said to not crease, but others were impressed with the 'nice fabric' and hailed the high-street trousers as 'lovely.' Meanwhile, Pia paired the trousers with her new button up vest, which is super affordable at only £12.99. As well as being reasonably priced, it's incredibly versatile - it'll look great with shorts for a casual look, or can be dressed up with tailored trousers for a day in the office. How New Look reinvented itself from a teen shop by Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend "REMEMBER on a Saturday you'd meet up with your mates in your local town or city centre for a nosey around the shops? Well, if you were like me you'd end up in a New Look." says Clemmie Fieldsend. "New Look was always one of those shops that when all else failed you could rely on them for whatever you needed. Your college uniform, night out or disco outfit - whatever was required you could count on New Look to meet your style needs." Clemmie says: "I felt myself growing out of New Look and thought of it as a younger brand that wouldn't have what I wanted but a quick scroll through their website or look through stores has proved me wrong. This summer they are serving up some on trend delights from clothing to accessories and of course their comfortable footwear. Recently they've lured in Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle for an exclusive Spring Edit plus fashion influencer Georgina Lennon. They're providing quality basics, elevated stables and trend lead designs that echo the New Look we all once loved but just a bit more grown up." But that's not all, as Pia also nabbed the Black Mesh Floral Print Cowl Halterneck Maxi Dress, which is priced at £35.99. The stunning dress has been hailed by New Look bosses as 'a head-turning maxi for moments in the sun.' This black mesh dress is also said to promise a 'figure-skimming silhouette with pretty florals and a low-cut back.' It's sure to look eye-catching when paired with sandals for an evening look, but shoppers have even described it as 'beautiful' for a wedding guest dress. One user was left beaming with the frock and claimed it 'fits perfectly.' Fashion fans beam And it's clear that Pia's Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @ pia_gracesmith, has left many equally as impressed, as it has quickly racked up 134,000 views, 1,796 likes and 340 comments. Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's New Look finds and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this. One person said: 'OMG!!!!! I never find anything I like in New Look!!!! I literally like everything in this reel!!!!' 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. Another added: 'Never shop in New Look but wow 🔥 stunning.' A third commented: 'I always forget about New Look but wow these all look amazing.' Meanwhile, one fashionista gasped: 'You're making me skint!!!' Whilst someone else beamed: 'They are all so beautiful on you.'

Pia, who is from the UK, was left beaming with her new purchases, one of which was the Rita Ora Beaded Midi Skirt, which is just £16. The brown midi skirt is covered in sequins, beading and embroidered floral details, and is sure to impress. According to Primark bosses, the midi length 'keeps it polished, while the elasticated waistband makes it easy to slip on and go'. Pia also nabbed the Rita Ora Broderie Mini Skirt, which is priced at £18. The tiered broderie mini skirt not only has ruffles, but an elasticated waistband too, making it great for bloated days. What's new in at Primark for spring-summer It's sure to add some playful movement to your wardrobe and is designed with lightweight fabric and gathered tiers. Whether you style it with sandals or boots, according to those at Primark, this ruffled mini is 'made for twirling, strolling and everything in between.' Top Primark summer buys IF you're looking for more Primark summer buys, then you've come to the right place. Shoppers have recently been raving about the new Miffy PJs from Primark. Others were desperate to nab the new leopard print nightwear. If animal print is your thing, you'll want to check out the new maxi skirts. The haltnerneck tops are perfect for summer. If you're on a budget, these trousers are identical to a pair from Zara, but without the hefty price tag. There's brilliant travel essentials for less than £10. And if you plan on heading to the beach, you won't want to miss these crochet bags. Fashion fans beam The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @ pia_gracesmith, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 420,000 views, 1,932 likes and 50 comments. Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's Primark haul and many eagerly rushed to the comments to share their thoughts on her summery skirts. No way this is Primark, what the hell Instagram user One person said: 'Obsessed with it all.' Another added: 'All looks amazing.' A third commented: 'Literally everything looks good on you. You genuinely make it all look so expensive.' Meanwhile, someone else gasped: 'No way this is Primark, what the hell.' Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

Alongside the short clip, the influencer beamed: 'Tesco haul number two.' She then added: 'Obsessed, which is your fav??' Pia, who is from the UK, was left beaming with her new F&F Edit Cotton Rich Shirred Bandeau Top, which she paired with the F&F Edit Cotton Rich Shirred Waist Full Midi Skirt. She styled the outfit with a pair of slip-on heels, chunky gold jewellery and a gold bag - a look that is sure to leave many open-mouthed. Both supermarket finds range from a size 6 to a size 22 and are available to order online. According to Tesco bosses, these F&F buys are 'must-have items for the season'. Not only this, but those as Tesco also hailed the midi length skirt, which is priced at £22.50, as a 'statement' piece, made from a cotton rich fabric. Tesco bosses recognised that the skirt contains 'modal for extra comfort and breathability' and features a 'gathered elasticated waist and a relaxed silhouette for a laidback look'.

The gathered detailing of this top 'adds texture', while the strapless design 'offers a flattering fit'. The set is sure to be a winner with many fashion fans this summer and when worn together, will be ideal for garden parties, holidays, and beyond. Reasons to shop supermarket fashion When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg... They're convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street. It's affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn't look cheap. They're more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply. They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought. Fashion fans beam The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @pia_gracesmith, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 128,000 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 1,818 likes and 39 comments. Tesco clothing is on point this year Instagram user Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's Tesco haul and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Love it all, you look amazing.' 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. Another added: 'Omg all of the outfits look amazing on you!' A third commented: 'Adds everything to basket.' Meanwhile, someone else claimed: 'Tesco clothing is on point this year.'
