NEW LOOK is one of the staple streets on the high street.
Known for its reasonable pricing, you know you can always bag yourself good wardrobe staples without breaking the bank.
But another thing New Look does well is summer.
And this year the brand has really upped the game with one of their chicest collection today…. and you’ll be wanting to add so many buys straight to your basket.
From flowy fabrics to comfort being key whilst vibrant prints and colours make the whole range scream summer, this is certainly not one to sleep on.
Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has you covered, showing you ten of the brand’s best pieces to buy now.
The top
10
This sweetheart neckline top comes in a linen fabric which makes it perfect for summer.
With a tie at the back you can add more shape to the top as you wish.
A great ‘jeans and a nice top’ combination, it’s a really versatile top that you could also dress up with a midi skirt and heels for a summery evening out, or take to the office – meaning more cost per wear.
The dress
10
For just less than £40 this check midi dress is an absolute steal.
It wouldn’t look out of place on sites like Damson Madder and Sister Jane, but yet New Looks version is just a fraction of the price.
The shirring on the front of the bust makes this extra stretchy for those with a fuller cup and the added bow detailing on the hip gives this an extra bit of oomph compared to a normal midi dress.
Not only that but it looks super comfortable too – adds immediately to basket.
The bag
10
New Look has a wide selection of bags, but this one in particular is a stand out.
The raffia bucket bag style is big enough to fit all your essentials in and will also go with so many pieces in your wardrobe.
Whether you want to take it on holiday or as an everyday summer bag then this is a perfect option.
Plus it’s a great price at £27.99, similar bags retail for more than double this.
The shorts
10
Gingham shorts are all the rage this summer and this red pair from New Look is just £19.99.
The elasticated waist makes them extra comfy and easy to wear and the white scallop trim detailing makes them feel more premium.
Whether you’re wanting a pair to potter around in the garden or for your summer holiday this pair would look great with a graphic t-shirt, cut blouse or a classic white shirt.
The Tee
10
Graphic t-shirts are all over the high street and are an easy throw on piece to add to your wardrobe.
You can inject some colour with this one for just £14.99.
Great to wear with denim shorts, linen trousers or skirts – it’s a really easy way of making your look feel and look summery.
The skirt
10
If you want the look of a sarong style skirt without the faff of actually tying one then this option for New Look could be for you.
With the tie detail already in place at the side it’s done all the hard work for you.
Perfect for your holidays with flat sandals, a raffia bag and a t-shirt or wear over your swimwear for a stylish beach look.
The co-ord
10
This printed a-line midi skirt is super fun for summer.
Bright and colourful with a postcard style print, the elasticated waistband makes it super comfortable, before flaring out into the a-line style which makes it even more flattering.
Whilst it does come with a matching top to make it into a handy co-ord you could also mix it up with a t-shirt, shirt or blouse depending on your preference.
The trainer
10
Colourful trainers are still very popular, but instead of spending nearly £100 on a pair, New Look has options for less than half that price.
For just £32.99 this red and pink pair is not only a great colour combination, but will make you bang on trend without spending too much cash.
Plus they’ll be great for wearing day in day out.
The sandal
10
Finding a pair of heels that are comfortable is no mean feet.
However, New Look is renowned for how comfortable its shoes can be.
This brown woven pair has a good sturdy block heel, ankle strap for extra support and also comes in white depending on your preference.
With head to toe padding and a flexible sole you’ll be able to stay on your feet for hours.
The trousers
10
New Look has lots of printed trouser options online currently like this paisley pair.
Like a lot of other pieces the brand has really thought about comfort with the tie elasticated waist and loose fitting flow of the trousers, making them breathable and cool.
The flowy style makes them great for this time of year.
How New Look reinvented itself from a teen shop
by Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend
“REMEMBER on a Saturday you’d meet up with your mates in your local town or city centre for a nosey around the shops?
Well, if you were like me you’d end up in a New Look.” says Clemmie Fieldsend.
“New Look was always one of those shops that when all else failed you could rely on them for whatever you needed.
Your college uniform, night out or disco outfit – whatever was required you could count on New Look to meet your style needs.”
Clemmie says: “I felt myself growing out of New Look and thought of it as a younger brand that wouldn’t have what I wanted but a quick scroll through their website or look through stores has proved me wrong.
This summer they are serving up some on trend delights from clothing to accessories and of course their comfortable footwear.
Recently they’ve lured in Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle for an exclusive Spring Edit plus fashion influencer Georgina Lennon.
They’re providing quality basics, elevated stables and trend lead designs that echo the New Look we all once loved but just a bit more grown up.”
