I’ll admit there’s not many high street stores that can lure me to shop IRL but TK Maxx is one of them. There’s something about uncovering a designer bargain in store, or shopping the beauty brands that has me ready to go – the call of the discount, perhaps, or loving being able to discover something I wasn’t expecting to find. TK Maxx’s website is, just as you’d expect, the same treasure trove of gems that their bricks and mortar stores are.
Packed with well-known fashion brands for less, as well as homeware, beauty and kidswear (I often get my daughter’s sneakers and pyjamas from there), there’s a knack to shopping TK Maxx and while I’m no expert, I do pride myself on being able to find the coolest pieces. Call it a love of the scroll or some seriously focused shopping…
My friends are big fans of TK Maxx’s homeware (one can never leave without a candle from the extensive home fragrance aisle) and often skip the fashion – but with a little help from my TK Maxx know-how, they’re now hooked on searching for a stylish steal to add to their wardrobe. And with summer teetering on the horizon – so the weather forecast says – I’ve trawled through TK Maxx’s fashion departments to bring you the coolest pieces for summer. It is payday weekend after all! From occasion wear dresses to picnic-perfect outfits, beach bags to sandals, these are the pieces I think are worth snapping up for the season.
Best TK Maxx stylish summer buys
The beach bag
Raffia Beach Bag
Even if you’re not headed on holiday, a raffia bag is a must for summer – tote it around in the city or countryside, really doesn’t matter. I love the flashes of brights on this one, which is a good size for carrying around your bits and bobs too.
The crochet dress
Beige Crochet Knit Dress
Call it the Maya Jama Love Island effect but crochet dresses are having a moment. Emulate her look with this understated crochet dress, with halterneck fastening and midi length.
The midi skirt
Floral Midi Skirt
I’m in love with this prairie-style midi skirt from a cool-girl brand. I’ll wear it with a classic white tee during the day, and it’ll look super cool layered with a sweatshirt for the chillier evenings. Available in sizes 6-22.
The Stripe Shirt
Blue and White Striped Linen Shirt
One thing I rely on through summer is a linen shirt; nothing is as good as throwing one of these on with some jeans or denim shorts and feeling as if you’ve made an effort.
The wear anywhere sandals
Braided Flat Sandals
You really can wear these anywhere. Got a wedding? They're perfect. Day at the beach? They slide on and off easy. They look super comfortable too.
The Stylish Sunnies
Black Koko Cat Eye Sunglasses
Upgrade your sunnies to these on-trend designer frames for under £20 - very Kardashian.
The Summer Trousers

From weddings to al-fresco BBQs with friends, I’m snapping up this sweet floral dress to see me through any and all a summer event. Currently available in sizes 6-16, it’s one you’ll wear again and again.
The Barbiecore Bag
Pink Cross Body Bag
The colour pink is everywhere right now and I’m pretty sure this designer bag, in the prettiest of pinks, will stand the test of time through the Barbiecore movement and beyond.
The Cowboy Boot
Beige Western Heeled Ankle Boots
I love cowboy boots for summer, as they’re fabulous for any weather! Swap sneakers for cowboy boots with your dresses, you won’t look back. These are a great price to try the trend, and available in sizes 3-6.

Everyone needs a statement gold necklace – does anything look better with a white shirt or crochet dress? This chain features an opalescent heart on a seriously chunky chain.
