Style in the aisles is at its best right now, with supermarkets brimming with clothes to add an instant twist to your wardrobe this summer.
And lower prices don’t mean compromising on quality, because some pieces even look designer – you just need to know where to find them and buy them before they’re gone.
Whether you’re looking for a holiday wardrobe makeover, smart tailoring, or stylish accessories, deputy fashion editor Abby McHale has combed the shelves for you and reveals which items you should put in your cart for your next weekly shop.
You at Sainsbury’s

White Full Broderie Maxi Skirt, £28, TU Clothing

One size black croissant shoulder bag, £14, TU Clothing
I’m a huge fan of Tu at Sainsbury’s and many of the pieces in my wardrobe are from the supermarket.
They have great basics, including a black crossbody bag this seems a lot more expensive than the £14 price tag.
There are some great fashion pieces that won’t break the bank, including a white midi skirt that’s perfect for summer. Combine this with your vest or wear with tees, fine knits and a blazer or light jacket on top – the options are limitless.
Tu also stocks many other brands and in some of their larger stores you can also buy products such as Sosander, Simply Be and Little Mistress.
George at Asda

Black poplin maxi dress with tie back, £24

Floral blouse, £15, George at Asda

Mule Tan Strappy Open Toe Sandals, £12.50, George at Asda
Summer has arrived in stores and online at George, from classic black midi dresses you can wear year after year, to sandals can be designer dupes for just £12.50 – you really don’t want to miss out.
George also makes great printed pieces like the floral blouse that would look great with jeans, wide-leg pants or a midi skirt. It’s only £15 but feels more expensive.
In addition to just launching its holiday store with a line of high-summer pieces, the supermarket also has a line with reality star Billie Faiers where you can find some super comfortable basics.
F&F at Tesco

There have been some viral sensations coming out of Tesco recently and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon.
Pieces like a monochrome embroidered linen set and a three-piece pinstripe suit have put F&F at the forefront of fashion.
The supermarket’s new occasion line is also unmissable, with sequins perfect for summer, lots of linen and classic tailoring, it’s sure to be a line that will fly off the shelves.
The satin dress costs just £22.50 and looks like something you’d see on the catwalk.
Marks & Spencer

Why supermarket fashion is in top form, says Fabulous deputy fashion editor Abby McHale
I love shopping in supermarkets – in recent years, although some high street stores have closed, the style in the aisles has gone from strength to strength.
Now, when I go to do my weekly food shopping, I always have to stop by the clothing section to see what’s new.
In addition to the pieces having a great price, supermarkets have really nailed what their customers want.
From wardrobe staples, good quality jeans, cute dresses and fun accessories, they really have it covered.
These days I only buy my jeans in supermarkets with pairs from Tu at Sainsbury’s and F&F at Tesco.
And for me there’s no better feeling than someone complimenting your outfit and you saying it’s from the supermarket.
Last week I bought a gorgeous black crossbody bag in Sainsbury’s for just £14 and a lot of people have told me it looks a lot more expensive.
Working in fashion I can see and feel a lot of clothes and I can say that the quality of the pieces in these stores is great, especially for the price.
M&S is on a roll, having launched its summer collection, and there’s plenty to choose from.
Although some pieces are priced a little higher compared to other supermarkets, you can still find just as good pieces at great prices.
From them pink coordination for example, they can be worn together for summer occasions or dressed separately – and the jacket is a star buy with a cinched waist.
It is a pearl shoulder bag it’s sure to make your outfit talk about the city.
