Anyone interested in an 'inexpensive but great' summer clothes thread?

[Bejazzled]

I'll start
It just caught me today that Matalan/Asda George/Tu have really upped their game for pretty and good quality summer holiday clothes. Not everything - there's still far too much lurid sparky polyester (same everywhere tbf)
I'm closer to 50 than 40 and a 16, M&S just don't do it for me and I outgrew topshop many years ago.
I've bought slim cropped cotton trousers in decent colours from Matalan, a really flattering chambray midi wrap dress and stretchy denim shorts from Asda and a couple of pretty tops in cotton from Tu.
I think a total of a dozen things that I'm really pleased with and spent about £100.
Anyone had a low-end epiphany?

There are some really nice summery things in New Look at the moment. Pretty off the shoulder dresses and hippyish prints and fabrics.

I've got this , and it really livens up jeans and a vest .

I bought some really nice tapered leg linen trousers from Primark..they are surprisingly flattering and only £10 a pair.

fabulous, I've ordered these shoes, not sure how good they'll be but they're leather and Sainsbury's clothing tends to be decent quality.

And they deliver free to Argos now, which is going to cost me a fortune!

Do you eBay? There are Daisy shoes brand new for sale on there.

They look great bombard, wish they had them in navy though! Bejazzled I do keep checking eBay, thanks.

Peacocks have got some lovely summer clothes at the moment including play suits and cover up dresses for the beach. Really cheap too.

Just bought these in this pattern and another pattern. £10 each and fab for summer. direct.asda.com/george/women/trousers/palm-print-lounge-pants/GEM627531,default,pd.html

So far from me:

• Linen v neck top from H&M in perfect navy
• Kind of double layered cami from Asda
• Plain white linen shirt, M&S.

I'm a 16/18 and definitely find that drapey natural fabrics work best, H&M linen is great and a good price. Hung on a hanger wet no ironing has been needed yet.

Oasis/Warehouse are knocking it out of the park this year. They do periodic 20% off events and I have generally found their clothes wash and wear quite well. I’m currently wearing this dress to death.

Lidl
I got a linen/cotton skirt and a couple of linen sleeveless tops , about £6 a piece.

Also had shorts, tunic,shirtdress,trousers (but I didn't buy these)

I bought Dd a stunning Schiffly embroidered Cotton blouse from Matalan today. It’s £18 so not very cheap but really stunning on.

I got a navy slub tshirt in Next for £8 (I think).
Asda also have linen tshirts and shirts.
I love those chinos Hammering.

I got some tops in Sainsbo's today - all 100% cotton and 25% off.

I live in Tu! We don't have a lot of money, and Sainsbury's is on our doorstep.

Fluffy how wide are the jeggings at the bottom? I have cankles.

Me too!😭

They’re not uncomfortable once you have them on. You’d have to try them on, the coloured ones are a tighter fit.

I bough this last year and they seem to have them back again. A lovely, light cotton dress that I’ve worn here and abroad. It has pockets too 👍🏻

Although this years Version seems to be viscose.

Thanks Fluffy, I'll check them out. ☺

Perfectly If you have a nectar card go on their webpage and login. Click on search, type “e rewards”. Register.

The surveys are worth 100 to 300 nectar points each, I get loads free in sainsbos now. I combine with the 25% off tu.

Lidl trousers are so random in size. Some are tiny and some are massive. I'm a size 12 and yet bought 16/18 size jeggins and cant even get them up my thighs.

I'm registered with e rewards already thanks Fluffy. 😆

You are a woman after my own heart Perfectly.

Love this dress. Simple gold necklace and gold hoops, tan bag and wedges. Felt great for the first time in ages as I have seriously lost my fashion mojo.
