Portugal Colonial - Affordable supermarket fashion offers designer-inspired autumn alternatives

We of course want it all. (Picture: Metro/Getty) Since supermarket clothing lines upped their game, it’s made our weekly shop a lot more exciting. It’s quickly become one of the best destinations to shop for on-trend pieces without high price tags, and this week, we’ve spotted some serious gems. From statement animal-print footwear to faux fur-collared coats, slinky velvet midi dresses, and funnel-neck jackets, autumn staples are all over the ranges from Tu at Sainsbury’s, George at Asda, F&F at Tesco, and M&S.

It’s especially good if you’re starting to think about party season and can’t help but be drawn in by sparkles, sequins and embellishments. However, if you’re a homebody that can’t wait to get cosy, the supermarkets have got your covered too, with super soft and stylish knitwear, activewear and even tote bags that rival Damson Madder. It’s not just your wardrobe that can get a refresh, either.

Your home deserves some attention too. There are diffusers, scalloped mirrors and festive side plates if you’re hosting Christmas this year and want to get organised, without spending a fortune. So next time you’re doing the food shop, it might be worth taking a detour.

Here’s our favourite fashion and home picks from the supermarket shelves right now.
