Saw this skirt in Grazia the other day and thought it looked good. It’s on sale too so a bargain.

saw these boots too thought they looked nice:-

added some fleece lined tights and polka dot ones to my basket.

I would team this with a fine knit black Zara jumper (fitted) but should I get this too (also in Grazia!)

What do we think and thanks for reading.

Yuck. No natural fabrics and cheaply made. Would rather go out naked or in a cotton sack.

You'd feel the cold.

The skirt looks like a black bin bag 😵‍💫

I thought the same!

CountryMouse22 · 14/01/2026 15:54

I got some nice ankle boots from Tu a few years ago. A pair in black and pair in brown. Granted they were most definitely leather but they suited me.

staringatthesun · 14/01/2026 15:54

I don't mind a bit of Tu every now and again, but none of these linked items are nice, and they are certainly not Spring!

80smonster · 14/01/2026 16:02

Dunno. That’s a lot of plastic to my eye: plastic skirt, plastic boots, even the jumper is mostly plastic. There are definitely good items at Tu, but those would not be my edit.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 14/01/2026 16:02

Can anyone pinpoint me to some nicer items then?

Grazia should obviously sack its fashion stylist teams!

It does read like it was written by a chat bot created by the Tu marketing team 🤣

That marketing bot must be tasteless.

What items do you need and what is your budget?

Magazines rely on advertising for revenue, so it might be in their favour to mention a brand positively.

MushyPeasAndMintSauce · 14/01/2026 16:17

Well if Grazia says so 😆

I don’t really need anything. My budget is quite flexible, I can stretch to more expensive items.

I was mainly looking to be on trend.

That’s quite a snobby thing to say. Suppose you could only afford supermarket boots?

George at Asda a few years ago did some leather riding boots, I never got them but they certainly looked smart enough.

Yes that was harsh. Leather is so much nicer. The TU boots wouldn’t have much “give” and they’d hurt my feet and ankles

purely for clarification and honesty, do you work, in some capacity, for Sainsbury @Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain, perchance?

"They’re doing a big push with influencers right now and obvs Grazia etc too"

"Tu spring fashion must haves"??? but I may well be biased, being a cynic.😊

Well, I don't know what Grazia's playing at! Maybe Tu's press relations person stole Grazia's fashion editor's boyfriend or something - there's got to be a reason they picked these monstrosities!

Almost everything in Tu New In is better than that ... it's a very low bar, mind.

There's a suede (leather) bowling bag for £30. I don't need any more bags. I don't need any more bags ... I don't need any more bags 😬

Whoops... Ordered.

It's far too nice to say no to.

An update if anyone is interested.

I bought in store some dark wash barrel leg jeans (bought a few other pairs to try on at home), disappointed they lacked the stretch that my usual Tu jeans have so I’m technically a bigger size.

My order of the items in the OP most items will be returned. I might keep the jumper.
