‘90s are back' shoppers cry as they race to bag ‘unreal' summer top in Primark – it's only £10 & comes in three colours
FASHION fans are going wild for an "unreal" summer top in Primark - and it's super purse-friendly. So if you want to give your wardrobe an upgrade in time for warmer days, then you've come to the right place and won't want to miss this. The Bow Detail Peplum Top is priced at just £10 and comes in sizes XS to XL. It comes in three colours - lemon, baby pink or white - and features pretty bow details and a keyhole front. And fashion fans have insisted the peplum silhouette is giving 90s vibes. Describing the new arrivals on the website, the Primark team say: "When sunshine calls, this top answers with all the right details. "Designed in a soft shade, it's sleeveless for easy layering. The fitted bodice flows into a gentle peplum hem with a V-split at the front, adding shape without the fuss. "A keyhole cut out down the centre is finished with bow details for a sweet twist." The top can be dressed up or dressed down for a variety of occasions, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. While it will look perfect paired with jeans and trainers for a casual look, it can also be dressed up with a satin midi skirt and sandals for summer days. After spotting it in her local store, fashion fan Amy gushed on TikTok: "Run to Primark for these gorgeous bow tops. Only £10." Her video quickly racked up more than two million views, 200,000 likes and 370 comments with shoppers desperate to get their hands on it. Shoppers run to Primark for new summer tracksuit hailed 'perfect airport outfit' "A Primark trip is needed asap", one cried. A second wrote: "90s are back only difference this would've been cotton." A third claimed: "Exact same as the Zara [one]." "Zara dupeeeee", echoed a fourth. A fifth added: "These are gorgeous. I love the pink and yellow." Meanwhile, a sixth said: "Oh my gosh I want every colour!!" Elsewhere in store, shoppers have found a winning summer dress that's floaty and great quality - and there's a mini-me version too. Amanda, the self-proclaimed "confidence queen' and size 14 fashionista, who regularly shares high-street fashion content online, has praised the Primark frock that's super floaty and cool. She modelled the sleeveless V-neck Trapeze Mini Dress, that's ideal for holidays. Thrilled with the white trapeze frock, which features an elegant tiered shape, the content creator beamed: 'This one might just win me over girls, because there's a mini-me. 'The quality of this feels absolutely fantastic. It's lovely and floaty and oversized.' The mini dress is available not only in white, but green too and is priced at £20. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, 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.

Shoppers race to bag £22.50 Sainsbury's summer dress – mums and daughters both want it, and it's so flattering
SHOPPERS are in a frenzy trying to bag a flattering summer dress in Sainsbury's that's so versatile both mums and daughters want it. Tu Clothing is the supermarket's in-house fashion label and is beloved by fashion fans for its on-trend buys at affordable prices. 3 3 So if you want to look stylish on a budget, then this bargain frock is the one for you. Shoppers have hailed the blue and white Sainsbury's dress as the perfect "day to night" transition piece that looks good dressed up or down. And they've begged supermarket bosses to bring it out in more colours. The Blue Striped Poplin Combined Dress comes in sizes six to 24 and is priced at £22.50. It features a white ribbed vest top with a blue and white striped poplin midaxi skirt. Describing it on the website, the Sainsbury's team say: "An easy-to-wear option for summer outings and warmer days, our midaxi dress comes in a combined style. "Featuring a sleeveless, ribbed bodice in white, and a blue striped poplin skirt layer." But it's completely sold out online, so you'll need to be quick to nab it in your nearest store. And it has already racked up five-star reviews from impressed fashion fans. One gushed: "Really pleased with this dress. So comfortable to wear. Great length and it has pockets." I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too A second wrote: "Perfect for summer days and evenings! Great fit, flattering - wish there were more colour ways." "Really nice material not seen through on the skirt part and fits well true to size", chimed in a third. A fourth said: "I bought this a couple of weeks ago and my daughter liked it so much I bought her one too! "The poplin striped skirt has handy pockets , which is always a bonus!! I love the design as you can hide your legs and enhance your figure because of the elasticated waist . "Can be worn with flats, trainers or a heel. I love the modern design!! It was a real bargain and very happy with the quality." A fifth added: "Bought this a couple of weeks ago and have worn on holiday. Very comfortable, flattering and can be a casual outfit or dressed up a little. The pockets are a great addition too." Meanwhile, a sixth cried: "Stop! My bank can't take anymore and the lady behind the argos counter knows me by name with all my click and collects." 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.

Shoppers go wild for new must-have TK Maxx ‘Ibiza bags' as they say their cards are at the ready
WHETHER you're off on holiday or have a summer wedding coming up, there's always an excuse to buy a new bag. And it seems TK Maxx is the place to go as fashion fans are drooling over their delicate beaded bags. 4 4 4 Recently, the discount store took to social media announcing they had a new collection of the bags available to buy in stores across the UK. These beaded numbers have since been dubbed the ' Ibiza bag' on social media by fashion fans. The term has been coined as the micro bags are the perfect luxury accessory to dress up any outfit, whether you're out clubbing or at a beach club. And there's plenty to pick from in TK Maxx, which shared the new designs online. Many are from the brand Mirasol, which is stocked in the shops and is handcrafted in India. The first bag they showed was a tiny red bag decorated in sequins, beads and tassels. Also on offer was a white floral beaded bucket-bag style as well as a more party-friendly red sequin bag. They also had two new green beaded bags on offer, as well as a slightly large pink woven bag with silver sequins. "They're back! Don't miss THE perfect summer bag," wrote TK Maxx. The bags vary in price but many of the cheaper options start at just £19.99 Primark is selling the perfect beach bag for your summer holiday - it's lightweight, waterproof and shoppers can't get enough of the sparkles As with all TK Maxx finds, the availability of designs will differ from store to store, so you'll want to head out soon if there's a particular one you are after. The clip shared on the TK Maxx TikTok account went viral with over 2 million views. Comments on social media featuring the bags from TK Maxx prove just how popular they have become. One person wrote: "Take my card." 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 commented: 'They are stunning." "Just got mine - they're stunning!" penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I'm RUNNING." "Unreal,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I need."
