With temperatures soaring past 30°C and the UK officially entering heatwave territory, getting dressed in the morning suddenly feels a lot more strategic than fun. And with London hitting 33 degrees today, it’s arguably time to start holiday shopping.
While we all love the idea of building a Mediterranean holiday worthy summer wardrobe, the reality is most of us want pieces that are lightweight, easy to throw on and, crucially, won’t cost a fortune. Luckily, Sainsbury’s fashion brand Tu has dropped some genuinely chic heatwave staples that tick every box, with prices starting from just £15.
From breezy linen blends to floaty dresses you’ll wear on repeat through sticky commutes and pub garden evenings, these are the five buys worth adding to your basket before your holiday - or the next UK temperature spike.
The best part? They're incredibly easy to style and will go with a conveyer belt of your existing wardrobe staples.
