ZARA McDermott has come a long way since her appearance on Love Island in 2018, as she has now launched her own clothing line, Rise.

The 27-year-old loungewear range is live on the New Look website, and there is one set I predict will sell out fast - the Waffle Knitted Set.

Rise by Zara McDermott Camel Waffle Knit Polo Top, £35

The collection is super affordable, as it ranges from £20 to £40 and is predominantly loungewear, and is available to shop at New Look now.

Out of the 31-piece range, the and are my favourite for everyday wear.

The two items are sold separately and each retail for £35, which means buying the set will total £70.

However, shoppers can easily mix and match the separates with other items from Rise, or even other New Look staples.

The launch of Rise is perfectly timed, as it's the perfect time to shop for cosy loungewear to see you through the cold weather.

The button down jumper could be paired with one of our recommended pairs of leggings, denim jeans and trainers, or the matching joggers, whether you are running errands, enjoying a weekend coffee catch-up with friends, or binge watching Christmas movies on Netflix.

What I love about the and , is the texture.

The waffle design shakes up the usual cotton or fleece fabrics, and while the garments are made from a blend of cotton and polyester they are ultra soft - and you could get away without ironing them because of the texture.

Rise by Zara McDermott Camel Waffle Knit Wide Leg Joggers, £35

The features a collar, a three-quarter button down fastening as well as long-length fluted sleeves.

The joggers are wide leg, which is perfect for all body shapes and sizes as it skims the legs instead of suffocating your limbs with ultra-tight lycra.

The are mid-rise and feature a drawstring tie around the waist so you can cinch them in to secure in place.

What I love about New Look is its inclusivity, which fits with Zara's own label. Both the Knitted Top and Wide Leg Joggers are available in an extensive range of dress sizes, which span from UK 8 to 22.

Zara McDermott announced the news her own loungewear label would be coming to New Look on her Instagram account.

The new arrivals have only just hit New Look, but considering how comfortable they look, I predict they will sell out fast.

My shopping list: The best fashion deals

New trends come and go, but there are some failsafe staples that survive them all, says beauty and fashion journalist Maisie Bovingdon

Shopping is my achilles heel, it gives me a hit of dopamine on down days, it makes me feel confident, and all round lifts my mood.

I have been trialling the latest #underconsumption trend and done my best to avoid shopping new items every time a new collection drops at my favourite stores.

While there are some failsafe staples I rely on day to day, and through every season, a few new additions to my ever-growing fashion collection never really hurt.

But you don't have to wait for Black Friday to secure a saving.

Here are my top picks of the reliable staples I swear by, some of which have been reduced on sale:

  1. The Boxy Oversized Tee, £15, Cotton On -
  2. Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans, £110, Levi's -
