You really don’t need to spend a fortune to look good this season, as you can find plenty of hero buys to tick off the key spring/ summer fashion trends for 2026 from your favourite supermarket brands right now. I often find wardrobe updates while doing my weekly shop - and one of the best of the season so far has to be a crisp co-ord from F&F at Tesco.

The pale blue and white striped shirt and skirt combination is such a winner for the warm weather, and it has a gorgeous, easy-breezy feel to it. The pieces are sold separately, and each half will look great when worn solo with other simple basics.

You can actually get the full look for a purse-friendly £40.50. As well as looking fabulous, this twosome will feel fabulous and breathable as well, as they're made from pure cotton too.

F&F

Pure Cotton Poplin Stripe Shirt

This cotton button-down has a slightly shorter length that will sit well with the matching skirt, or a pair of high-cut barrel-leg jeans. It's available in sizes 8-22, and you'll get change from £20 - win, win.

F&F

Pure Cotton Poplin Stripe Co-ord Midi Skirt

The elasticated waist on this A-line, midi skirt will sit snuggly at your middle while being comfortable to move around in, and the flared-out silhouette will skim over your hips for the most flattering finish.

When it comes to styling this set, you have plenty of options. The traditional pinstripe, blue fabric acts almost like a neutral, so it can be worn with a multitude of colours, and the understated and fuss-free cut of each piece will work well with a variety of styles.

As a new take on date night outfits, I will add gold heels and a clutch, and for the weekend, all this combination needs is your best white trainers and some oversized sunglasses.

The co-ord is definitely smart enough to wear to the office too - simply add your best trench coat or a blazer, and some court shoes and you'll be all set for your 9-5.
