I’m a size 16 & went to Tesco for milk but found the best ever faux leather trousers for Autumn – they’re so flattering
A FASHION fan has claimed that she has found the best ever faux leather leggings.
And with Autumn finally here, if you’re looking to give your wardrobe an upgrade, then you’ve come to the right place.
Rebecca Sudwarts, a fashionista who is five foot eight and in between a size 14 and 16, was lucky enough to get her hands on a range of must-have Autumn/Winter buys from Tesco, including a dress that’s super flattering and perfect for Christmas parties.
Not only this, but she also nabbed jumpers and jeans that are great for the change in season.
So if you fancy treating yourself to some new clothes, but are on a budget and can’t afford to splash too much cash, then you’ll need to run down to F&F, and fast.
The curvy fashion fan, who is from the UK, took to social media to share her honest thoughts on her new F&F haul, leaving many very impressed.
Posting online, the ex Senior Fashion Buyer shared her clip with the caption ‘I think I have found the BEST highstreet FAUX LEATHER TROUSERS and they are only £22.50!! Ladies this is a great f&F haul, let me know what you think.’
The content creator kicked off her haul and said: “Going into a Tesco at this point is dangerous for me. I only went in for milk, I’ve picked up some fab finds.”
Rebecca showed off her new faux leather trousers, which were just £22.50, as she beamed: “These faux leather trousers are by far the best I’ve tried on the high street.
“They are such great value for money, they are the perfect shape, they’re super flattering.”
She paired the trousers with a £15 bodysuit and added: “You could dress these trousers up and down, how nice would these be with a heel? You could wear them to your Christmas party.
“Also you could dress them down with a chunky jumper and some chunky Chelsea boots.”
We then saw Rebecca in a burgundy dress, as she continued: “I thought this dress would be such a lovely winter staple to have in your wardrobe.
“It’s the colour of the season and it’s a really nice print. It would also be a really nice workwear dress as well.
“It’s got a self-tie belt so you can wear it open. For me, it’s such a nice bloat-friendly dress that will take you all the way into winter.”
Reasons to shop supermarket fashion
When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg...
They’re convenient – Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street.
It’s affordable – For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn’t look cheap.
They’re more on-trend that you think – With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply.
They fit well – Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought.
After this, Rebecca modelled her new barrel leg jeans, which were just £22.50, which she paired with a £25 jumper.
Thrilled with her new outfit, she explained: “They’ve got some stretch in them so they are super comfy.
“This knit, I love the colour, it’s super soft, not itchy, it’s a really good weight so will keep you super warm in the winter.”
Another amazing haul!

Rebecca got her hands on yet another jumper, which was £22.50, as she claimed: “It’s a really lovely colour, it would look great with blue denim and black denim as well.”
But the jumpers didn’t stop there, as Rebecca was thrilled with her new £22.50 knitted hoodie.
The influencer shared: “I love this knitted hoodie, it’s such a lovely quality, it feels quite premium, it’s got a wide sleeve.
“It feels super cosy and it’s not itchy. I also love that it’s a bum coverer.”
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a ‘strong growth in clothing’ and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda’s clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury’s clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it’s good quality too – with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
To finish off the haul, we saw Rebecca look fabulous in a £27.50 black dress, and it’s perfect for looking stylish this season.
Overjoyed with her purchase, the fashionista said: “Who doesn’t love a little black dress in the winter? So easy to take you through that festive season.
“This is a really nice one. It’s a lace overlay bodycon style.
“I really love the sleeves. It’s a really good dress.”
