People Keep Complimenting Me On These 3 Pieces I Bought From Tesco

Image by: Tesco

When you only popped in for your weekly shop, but ended up leaving with a summer wardrobe. Here are the Tesco F&F pieces to add to your basket immediately.

There’s truly nothing more satisfying than showing off a bargain – particularly when the person admiring your threads can’t help but looked surprised when you reveal not only the price but the place you bought it. As a Fashion Editor, I’m used to scanning the runways for the next big trending looks for the season ahead. I’m also seriously familiar with the new arrivals section on all the high street favourites, and know exactly which premium brands to look to for my superstar staples and investment pieces. We all want to look like our most polished selves at all times but, understandably, we need to be sensible when it comes to our spending which is why I’m more than happy to share my newest discovery for style on a budget: Tesco.

Yep, you heard me correctly - your local supermarket is a best-kept secret for premium-looking pieces without the hefty price tag. If you’re lucky enough to live near a big Tesco, the F&F collection is an unexpected destination for affordable trend-led pieces for all the family, all available to shop while you’re picking up your milk and eggs. In the past, I’ve never explored much beyond picking up a pair of tights, but it was lockdown that put me onto just how good Tesco’s clothing range was. When clothing shops were still closed to the masses, I found myself taking a little extra time going around the aisles and found a pair of tan sandals that I ended up wearing on repeat. Now, I find myself browsing every time I make the trip – and this summer alone I’ve already picked up 3 pieces that have received endless compliments every time I wear them. With temperatures rising and a summer holiday on the horizon, you better believe I’ll be seeing what else I can add to my roster too.

 Curious to see which pieces have racked up the likes? Scroll on to discover my recent purchases, and my edit of the rest of the pieces I’ll be looking for on my next food shop.

My 3 compliment-earning purchases

F&F Linen stripe blazer

One of the best things about this blazer is the chic oatmeal shade to the stripe. A top tip for affordable shopping is to seek out 'unusual' or 'off' colours - they instantly make a piece look more expensive. Normally I might shy away from a single button blazer, but with a breezy summer suit the chances of you ever wearing it closed is close to zero, and this one hangs just right.

F&F Cream rib-knit vest

When you find a perfect tank top that has a flattering neckline, isn't see through and hugs the body just right - buy several. This gentle V neck tank, complete with an expensive-looking rib finish, looks great with denim or layered under a blazer - and you don't need to guess which blazer I'm refering to!

F&F Linen Bermuda shorts

Great alone with a white shirt or tank, or dressed up with the matching blazer, these linen stripe shorts are my new warm weather staple. They're smart enough for the workplace and chic enough for the weekends. I'm obsessed - particularly since they only cost £16.
