She beamed with enthusiasm about her jeans: “We know leopard print is everywhere, it’s really a trend.
“I have to say I really like this print and the denim is really Niceit has a slight stretch.
“I really like that it’s tall and slim, it’s a nice change from the wide legs you see everywhere now.”

“It looks so premium that it also has a hood.

Reasons to buy supermarket fashion
When you’re looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or want to update your basics, you don’t have to spend hours scouring the clothes shops or scrolling online. Just buy a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg…
They are handy – Chances are that you go to the supermarket more often than to a shopping mall or high street.
It is affordable – Supermarkets are leaders in budget fashion that doesn’t look cheap, from basic items to more fashionable pieces.
They are more fashionable than you might think – Because their customer base is larger than that of the average high street store, stores like ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Tesco are better able to respond to the market and predict trends in many more areas than just food supply.
They fit well – Fits and lengths often come with a bit more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often very practical too: think lots of 100% cotton that can be thrown in the washing machine without a second thought.
Rebecca then showed off a pair of £19.50 faux leather leggings and a striped jumper, as she put it: “A lovely big, baggy jumper and some leather-look leggings.
“They’re really roomy, super high waisted so they’re really comfortable. The jumper is only £16 and I love it because it’s a hip protector.”
To round out the collection, the content creator showed off her new dress, which she described as “gorgeous.”
How has Tesco’s F&F upped its game?
By Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend
ZARA has become a household name on the high street in recent years thanks to its trendy designs and affordable prices.
But recently, prices have risen as the brand has become more popular.
However, if you are looking for outfits that are inspired by haute couture and that are not too expensive, you don’t have to go to the local shops, you can just go to the supermarket.
F&F has grown from a store where you could only buy a few T-shirts and thick dressing gowns to a must-have for thousands of people.
They produce good quality, long lasting and trendy clothes that others are ashamed of.
F&F is full of Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite stores. They’re under £50 and you can buy them while you’re picking up dinner.
I love F&F denim. It is durable, fits really well and has the most beautiful silhouettes.
So even if you’re not looking for reasonable prices, but just looking for good clothes, go to Tesco.
Excited about the trendy dress, Rebecca concluded: “It’s a great shape, a v-neck and it pulls you in at the waist and skimming over your stomach.
“I know I’ll be wearing this a lot this winter.
“At this point I’m willing to give all my money to F&F.”
