We all have to do our weekly or fortnightly food shop and let’s face it, it’s not much fun. Traipsing down the aisles, attempting to squeeze your trolley past hoards of people and a kid running around your feet is definitely not my idea of a perfect evening. However supermarkets are now giving us more reasons to pop to the shops. ‘Why would I want to go to the supermarket more than I have to?’ I hear you ask. Well I’ll tell you. One word – clothes. These days our supermarkets are endeavouring to cover all areas of shopping alongside food, one aspect of this being fashion.

Nowadays it’s hard to remember a time when the only thing you could buy from the supermarket was food. So, much to our delight most of the UK’s major supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys now have their own clothing range;  stocking threads for you, your partner, your kids, your pets, well whoever you like really!

So next time you’re popping to the supermarket to pick up a pint of milk, hit the rails as well and you never know you might find a great bargain. However if you need some more encouragement or some inspiration, we’ve picked a couple of the best items that you can purchase from your local supermarket.

Get yours from Tesco for an amazing £16.00

This great tropical print dress would be great for summer this year as not only is the print bright but it is very light and has adjustable straps so would be very comfortable in hot weather. This dress is great alone so just team it with a pair of flip flops. However if you did want to add a little extra something to this look then chunky wooden bracelets are the way forward for an effortless chic summer look.

Snap up your shirt from your local Asda for just £16.00 (which includes the free belt – bargain!)

This feminine take on a classic look would be a great outfit for a laid back summer day. This shirt dress is great not only for summer but for all year round, pair with some black leggings and boots for a winter look. Shove on a pair of tan wedges and a tan satchel bag to set you off for a summer’s day.

Pick up your floral tunic for just £20.00 (not available online)

This fantastic floral tunic is a great buy just worn simply on its own but to make your look a tad more casual then this tunic tucked loosely into a pair of denim shorts would look fab. Also if you’re lucky enough to be jetting off somewhere hot this summer then this tunic would be a great poolside garment to shove on when you’ve just got out of the pool. As you can see in the image above, a pair of sandals is just enough to make this a great summertime outfit.

So there are a couple of ideas of outfits to inspire you to hit your supermarket’s fashion aisles.
