IF you want to give your wardrobe an upgrade for summer, you’ve come to the right place.
And according to a fashionista, there’s a high street shop we’ve all been sleeping on for years.
So forget H&M, Primark or Zara, as according to Pia Grace Smith, a content creator who describes herself as “your 5ft1 clothes guru”, you’ll need to get down to New Look if you want clothes that will really turn heads this season.
Posting on social media, the brunette beauty couldn’t stop gasping after doing a huge haul in New Look.
As well as trying on a blue mini dress and a red co-ord, Pia also found a stunning pair of Brown Crinkle Textured Striped Wide Leg Trousers, which she paired with a Dark Brown Button Up Vest.
She even got her hands on a Black Mesh Floral Print Cowl Halterneck Maxi Dress – and it looks so expensive.
Alongside the short clip, the influencer beamed: “Sorry, have I been missing something for years??
”
Stunned by the gorgeous New Look buys, Pia, who is from the UK, added: “I am shocked!!
“Wow, how many gorgeous pieces, quality is unreal and I loved it all haha SHOCK.
“I truly couldn’t believe how nice the bits I chose were.”
Pia managed to get her hands on a pair of striped trousers, which are priced at £29.99 and are available in three colours – black, green and Pia’s choice, brown.
And it’s not just Pia who loves them, as online shoppers have praised them as “comfortable, lightweight and perfect for holiday.”
As well as this, not only are they said to not crease, but others were impressed with the “nice fabric” and hailed the high-street trousers as “lovely.”
Meanwhile, Pia paired the trousers with her new button up vest, which is super affordable at only £12.99.
As well as being reasonably priced, it’s incredibly versatile – it’ll look great with shorts for a casual look, or can be dressed up with tailored trousers for a day in the office.
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.”
But that’s not all, as Pia also nabbed the Black Mesh Floral Print Cowl Halterneck Maxi Dress, which is priced at £35.99.
The stunning dress has been hailed by New Look bosses as “a head-turning maxi for moments in the sun.”
This black mesh dress is also said to promise a “figure-skimming silhouette with pretty florals and a low-cut back.”
I always forget about New Look but wow these all look amazing
Instagram user
It’s sure to look eye-catching when paired with sandals for an evening look, but shoppers have even described it as “beautiful” for a wedding guest dress.
One user was left beaming with the frock and claimed it “fits perfectly.”
Fashion fans beam
And it’s clear that Pia’s Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @pia_gracesmith, has left many equally as impressed, as it has quickly racked up 134,000 views, 1,796 likes and 340 comments.
Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia’s New Look finds and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this.
One person said: “OMG!!!!! I never find anything I like in New Look!!!! I literally like everything in this reel!!!!”
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s’ shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They’ve been on runway models’ arms at nearly ever designer show – think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it’s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The ’80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we’re likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good – but only as it’s just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life – until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S ’25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
Another added: “Never shop in New Look but wow 
stunning.”
A third commented: “I always forget about New Look but wow these all look amazing.”
Meanwhile, one fashionista gasped: “You’re making me skint!!!”
Whilst someone else beamed: “They are all so beautiful on you.”
