I’m a curvy size 16 & I’ve found the best winter buys from Sainsbury’s – including a jumper that’s so warm and NOT itchy
A FASHION fan has stocked up on a range of brilliant buys from Sainsbury’s – all of which are perfect for looking stylish in winter.
So if you want to give your wardrobe an upgrade for the change in season, then you’ve come to the right place.
Rebecca Sudwarts, a fashionista who is five foot eight and in between a size 14 and 16, was lucky enough to get her hands on a range of must-have Autumn/Winter buys from Sainsbury’s, including a jumper that’s super warm and not itchy.
Not only this, but she also nabbed jeans and jackets that are great for the change in season.
So if you fancy treating yourself to some new clothes, but are on a budget and can’t afford to splash too much cash, then you’ll need to run down to Sainsbury’s, and fast.
The curvy fashion fan, who is from the UK, took to social media to share her honest thoughts on her new Tu haul, leaving many very impressed.
Posting online, the ex Senior Fashion Buyer kicked off her haul and said: “I’ve picked up some great winter finds from Tu Sainsbury’s.”
First things first, the content creator tried on a pair of £22 flared jeans, which she paired with a £26 cardigan.
Thrilled with the outfit, she beamed: “A really nice, everyday outfit.
“They do have some stretch, they’re not overly generous, I’d say that they are true to size.
“How pretty is this cardigan? I love the colour.”
Following this, she then tried on her new black biker jacket, which was £50, as she added: “It is fully borg lined.
“It’s the perfect size to put a jumper underneath. I really like the quality.
“You could totally dress this jacket up and down.”
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.
Rebecca then showed off a long-sleeved black top, which is priced at £14, as she continued: “I found this little black top, it’s got ruching detail, it’s a really lovely ribbed quality.
“I thought this would be a really great basic to layer under cardigans and your coats in the winter.”
The influencer was thrilled when she modelled a £22 chocolate brown jumper, as she expressed: “[I was] desperate to get my hands on a nice chocolate brown jumper. I saw this one and thought it was lovely.
Fabulous Fashion Editor On Autumn Trends
WANT to look fabulous this season? Then listen up...
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles.
TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn.
The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe.
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like.
Mix with satin cami dresses and waisted blazers for an ultra feminine look.
LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
“It’s got a really nice cable knit, a higher neck to keep you super warm. It’s not itchy even though it does contain some wool.”
And to finish off her haul, Rebecca tried on a £45 khaki teddy coat, as she explained: “I just love this colour combination. This teddy fabric is so soft.
“I absolutely love this look.”
FASHION FANS BEAM
The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @stylingwithrebecca, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 332,000 views.
Fashion fans were impressed with Rebecca’s purchases and were keen to praise the affordable buys in the comments.
