THE Fab Daily fashion team pick up some quality autumn essentials – from £3.50.
Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor
Clemmie, 33, says: “There’s something unbelievably satisfying about someone asking, admiringly, where you got your outfit and being able to say, ‘It’s from the supermarket’.
“This suit from F&F at Tesco looks premium quality, from the thigh-flattering pleats and concealed fastening on the wide-leg trousers to the tailored fit of the blazer.
“The oversized structure gives it a designer look, too.
“This grey, textured effect was a big hit on the AW23 catwalks of Prada, Fendi and Gucci and for under £60, it really is a style win.
“For this in-between time of year, it’s perfect for layering with vest-tops, T-shirts or fine knits.
“During colder months, I’ll pair it with roll necks and slip a baggy, woollen coat over the top.
“It’s one of those all-seasons, all-rounds co-ords I know I’ll get tons of wear out of year after year.”
Tracey Lea Sayer, Fashion Director
Tracey, 52, says: “I love M&S.
“It is my go-to store for all things work wear when the weather turns cooler.
“I’m a believer in keeping things classic for the office.
“These wardrobe building blocks can easily be interchanged with other basics to create a fresh look for each day of the working week without spending a fortune.
“A Breton stripe, pleat-front trousers that have a bit of stretch for comfort and a classic beige trench are all really hardworking pieces and totally worth investing in.
“What can I say?
“You simply can’t go wrong when selecting this easy-to-wear combo that works season after season.
“I have added black loafers and a cute black bag to accessorise. Job done.”
Abby McHale, Fashion Editor
Abby, 29, says: “What’s not to love about supermarket dressing?
“It’s convenient, good value for money and you can find some great, on-trend pieces as well as wardrobe staples.
“These wide-leg jeans feel such good quality, so I know I’ll wear them year after year.
“Blazers are one of my go-to pieces – you can throw them on over anything.
“I love how smart this pinstripe one is – it has a slight oversize feel, but still gives me some shape.
“Pinstripes were a huge trend on the AW catwalks of YSL and Dior, but who needs them when you can get the look from Sainsbury’s for just £32?
“And I’ll be able to wear the classic white T-shirt with so many other pieces in my wardrobe.
“At these prices, you really can’t go wrong. And if you don’t have a Sainsbury’s nearby, it’s all available online.”
Emily Regan, Fashion Assistant
Emily, 24, says: “I always look forward to layering up as the weather gets colder and I am super-guilty of falling in love with a gorgeous new season coat every year.
“But most of the time, this purchase comes at a hefty cost.
“So I couldn’t believe it when I came across this reversible wonder from George that works with everything in my wardrobe.
“With a borg cosy lining on one side and brown suede on the other, this is the perfect versatile addition to my winter wardrobe – two coats for the price of one.
“And at just £42, you can’t go wrong.
“Best of all, it’s from the supermarket, meaning you can pick it up while doing the weekly food shop.
“I’ve paired it here with some dark blue jeans and a pair of buckle loafers, but it would also look great with a cosy loungewear set.”
