After dominating the runways in 2024, it looks like drop waist dresses are set to once again take over the fashion scene this summer. Just ask Kendall Jenner, who turned heads at Coachella in a now completely sold-out Proenza dress in an on-trend butter yellow hue.

Effortlessly elegant and surprisingly versatile, the chic yet structured silhouette of a dropped waist dress has the ability to elongate and balance out your frame — making it a truly flattering and fuss-free fit.

Best of all, there are endless styles to explore — from romantic fitted bodices with flowing swishy skirts, to shirred low waist dresses that would be just right for a relaxed barbecue or daytime event.

Looking for a little inspiration? Whatever your budget or style, we’ve got you covered with our edit of top picks.

Cream One Shoulder Drop Waist Trent Midi Dress

A real high-quality piece, it’s got a concealed zip fastening for added security, and it’s primarily made from the sustainable material, Lenzing™ Ecovero™ Viscose — which is silky soft, breathable, and designed to drape beautifully.

With fumbling fingers, I quickly cobbled together a message to my mum. 

‘Something is seriously wrong,’ I wrote. 

My mind was foggy. My stomach bloated. My heart hammered. And I had no idea why. 

For weeks, there had been signs that something wasn’t quite right with me. I had a persistent headache that I brushed off as stress, a sluggish feeling in my muscles, and a bone-deep exhaustion that sleep couldn’t touch.   

Yet, I thought, if I doubled down on ‘healthy’ habits, if I kept doing the ‘right’ things – getting better sleep, eating nutritious food, exercising daily, and, above all, staying hydrated – I would feel better. 

I was living by the rule that if a little was good, a lot must be better. But the more water I drank, the worse I felt. 

Then, one Monday evening in April 2025, I was overtaken by an overwhelming wave of nausea and dizziness that felt as if I were dragging myself through wet sand. I feared I’d collapse if I stood up and so, in a panic, I texted my mum and called 111. 

My voice slurred, and I struggled to steady my thoughts as I explained my symptoms. I was advised to head to the hospital immediately.  

Within the hour, my mum was driving me and I was frightened, but more than that, I was baffled. 

I didn’t drink alcohol, always ate my five-a-day and attended regular Pilates classes. And, of course, I was comfortably gulping down at least eight litres of water a day. 

So why did my body feel like it was shutting down? 

As the paramedic on duty put it, I was internally drowning. In other words, I had water intoxication.  

Though I was fortunate that it was caught in time, and was able to go home that same night, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, ashamed, and strangely guilty.  

I thought I was taking care of myself, when in reality, by chasing ‘health’ and wellness, I’d pushed my body to the brink. Had I known about or heard of this condition before, perhaps I would have thought twice before upping my water intake. 

Yet I’m far from an anomaly. 

Because the conversation is always about dehydration – the fear being that we’re not drinking enough – we rarely hear about, nor does anyone warn you, how drinking too much can be just as perilous. 

What’s even more terrifying is how much overhydration is encouraged online. Influencers show off how many litres they’ve chugged by lunchtime and giant water bottles have become something akin to a badge of honour.  

I’ve even stumbled across ‘water cult’ pages that glorify drinking up to 10 litres a day for better skin, energy, and digestion, when, in actual fact, consuming that quantity of water is more than enough to be fatal. 

We need better public messaging, and influencers and ‘health gurus’ need to be held responsible with the ‘advice’ they give. 

And those viral drinking challenges? They have to stop. People should know that drinking when you’re thirsty is enough, and pushing beyond that isn’t a flex, it’s a risk.  

More doesn’t always mean better. Our bodies are a delicate, beautifully balanced system, and if you flood it – even with something as seemingly harmless as water – real, irreversible damage is possible 

Looking back, I now realise I wasn’t drinking water because I was thirsty, I was drinking for control and out of habit, for the illusion that if I followed all the rules perfectly, I’d be happy and healthy. 

That mindset could have cost me everything. 

Since my experience, I’ve realised that real self-care isn’t about mindlessly following trends. It’s not about forcing yourself into extremes because you’re scared of not doing ‘enough’. 

It’s about listening – really listening – to what your body is asking for and trusting it. 

Nowadays I stick to the recommended eight glasses. That’s enough for me.

A woman has admitted she was hit with some upsetting comments from friends when she came out as abrosexual – a term she only found when she was 30-years-old. Luckily, now she feels ‘seen’

I honestly never thought I’d be considered a red flag when it came to dating. 

I’m a great date – I show up on time for dinners or drinks, I ask them questions about themselves, I never ghost people (unless it’s truly deserved) and I don’t expect people to pay for the entire bill, no matter where we go.

Would I label myself a catch? Yes. I have a successful career, great friends, I don’t live with my parents, I’m good with my money, and I’m kind and caring.

So why do a fifth of the UK population think I’m a red flag? It’s because I’m gluten free. 

However, unlike the people of the world who think being gluten free is a lifestyle choice, for me it’s a health condition – I’m coeliac.

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease where my body’s immune system attacks my healthy tissues when I eat gluten. It damages my gut and means I can’t absorb any nutrients from the food I eat – hence being gluten free (GF).

Not following a GF diet could lead to an increased risk of cancer for me, including small bowel cancer, small bowel lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma, so you can see why I’m keen to avoid it.

But dating has been daunting, given the fact that a third of Brits would avoid inviting someone over for dinner if they were gluten free, according to Warburton’s research.

A quarter would request that GF guests bring their own food (which I often do in case of a cross-contamination emergency), while more than half of Brits don’t know what to cook us for dinner.

I was diagnosed at 19, after being very poorly for two years, and it came at a time when I was very much single and dating. 

I’d just split up with my boyfriend of six months, so I was feeling free, happy and ready to throw myself into the scene at my university.

About half a year after my diagnosis I was flirting with a friend of a friend at the student union bar of a university close to mine. 

He was tall and handsome, with relatively good chat, until he offered me a sip of his beer. I politely declined saying ‘no thanks, I can’t’.

‘What do you mean you can’t,’ he replied, pushing his pint close to my face.

‘I’m coeliac,’ I said. I can’t drink beer.’

Whether he simply didn’t care, or didn’t understand, there was no excuse for what he did next. 

Placing one hand behind my head and tipping his pint, he poured beer over my face and into my mouth while saying: ‘Don’t be such a wimp.’

I shoved him off, beer flying everywhere, and stormed off to the girl’s bathroom. Running the tap I tried desperately to rinse out my mouth, trying not to be sick at the thought of how much I’d already swallowed.

Dabbing my face and feeling violated, I left and headed home. That was the most obvious disrespect I’ve faced for simply being gluten free, but throughout my dating experiences, it wasn’t an isolated incident.

Throughout my time on various apps – like Tinder and Hinge – I would try to avoid bringing up the fact I was coeliac, but when it came time to go for dinner with a potential suitor, I’d have to fess up.

Then would follow the same generic responses. ‘Your life must be so miserable’, or ‘I think I’d just keep eating gluten to be honest’ were common.

‘What can you even eat?’ was another favourite of mine.

I’d inevitably have to book the restaurant myself because they would refuse to do so much as Google gluten free menus in London.

But I have had dates who were considerate of my needs. The sweetest in particular being my now partner, who got his coeliac co-worker to write down a list of restaurant recommendations that she had tried and tested.

He then took me to Pho – a casual Vietnamese chain which has an almost entirely gluten free menu.

But once you find that special someone who doesn’t berate you for being coeliac, there’s another challenge: meeting the parents. 

Trying to make a good impression on your boyfriend’s loved ones is significantly harder when you have to list what they can and can’t cook for you, as well as how they have to cook it. 

A simple mistake can mean you can’t eat the meal they’ve made for you, and it can seem like you’re rejecting their efforts. It takes time to learn to cater to someone with a strict dietary requirement.

Sadly, despite being the one with the disease, in the dating world, you’re often the one trying to make accommodations for them when it should be the other way around.

I’m not hard to date or cook for – it just takes a little effort.

And if you can’t do that, maybe it’s you who is the red flag.

I rarely ever buy wine from Co-op. Sandwiches, sure. Emergency compostable bin bags, absolutely. A bag of spuds when I inevitably realise we’ve run out at 6:43pm on a Sunday, heck yes. But wine? Not the first place I’d look… until recently.   

I’ll preface this by saying I love Co-op – it’s one of the supermarkets that feels like it genuinely cares. It’s democratic, community-minded and engages with local causes. It was championing Fairtrade before it was trendy to pay your staff and suppliers fairly and it now sells over 100 Fairtrade wines – more than any other retailer.

But, maybe that was the problem for me when it came to its wine.

Because if I’m honest, for as long as I can remember the Co-op wine aisle has given me functional, but not exciting. More than that, there was a earnestness and ‘pick me, I’m Fairtrade’ vibe that was putting me off. (Plus, the wine labels were always a little practical-looking and I’m superficial, so those two factors were never going to align.)  

Then I tasted Muriel Tempranillo Vendimia Seleccionada Rioja and it was good, like really good.

I’d love to say that my eyes locked onto it whilst I was in store looking for cat litter and oat milk – although I actually have a dog and I drink cow’s milk – but, no. It was at the Co-op wine tasting that I tried this bottle, along with 70 other of their spring/summer wines.

This Rioja is currently down to £7.35 making it head spinning value for money and is basically the definition of a barbecue red. It’s the real deal, pure ‘Riojan roll’, aged for seven months in French and American oak, so you get a suggestion of wood influence without feeling like you’re running your tongue along a barn door.

It’s made by one of the oldest wineries in Rioja Alavesa, the northernmost and arguably most refined of Rioja’s winemaking subregions. Bodegas Muriel has been going since 1926, but is now producing a modern, fruit-driven style. This is made from 100% Tempranillo, the classic Rioja grape, We’re talking flavours of blackcurrant, black cherry, damson, and dried mint flavours with a touch of baking spice. It’ll work best with roast lamb in front of a Netflix documentary about exes from hell.

So, while I was busy side-eyeing its Fairtrade Sauvignon, it seems Co-op has been quietly levelling up its wine game. Still making ethical, mindful choices, only now with much better wine and a ramped up sense of style.

Here are six other bottles that caught my attention and should be front and centre on your shopping list…

Co-op’s best Sparkling Wine for summer

Codorniu Gran Crémant Cava Brut Organic, Spain, £10.25 (in store, £11 delivered)

I’ll bang on about Cava’s indecently good value for money forever if you’re not careful. Start drinking it so I don’t have to. It’s made in the same way as Champagne, for goodness sake, yet this is only just over a tenner. Plus, it’s organic and we all know what an expensive process that is. But, why is it using the French term ‘Crémant’? Probably piggybacking on the success of the Crémant category, and why not. You’ve got to try this bottle, it’s dry, peachy, tingly and saline.  

Co-op’s best White Wine for summer

Co-op Soave, Italy, £5.65

Italian whites are massively up in quality across the supermarkets. Here’s a great case in point, given Soave can taste like mediocre dish water if it’s not made well. The flavours are barely-there, it has to be said, but for the price this has some citrussy minerality and almond flavours going on, giving you lime sherbet happy ending. You really can’t go wrong, then you can trade up to the ‘Classico’ version which sits at £8.25.  

Co-op Orvieto Classico, Italy, £6.85

This is the crisp summer white you’ve probably never heard of. If you’re Grigio devotee or you like sipping Soave, this should be on your drinking rotation, stat. Orvieto is from the Umbrian hills of central Italy, and for under £7 you get a decent amount of dry lemon sherbet and macadamia nut flavours in your glass. Sometimes, keeping it simple tastes pretty good.  

Co-op’s best Rosé wine for summer

Welmoed Rosé, South Africa, £7.95

South Africa seems to be the epicentre of good value rosé at Co-op. This coral-coloured Fairtrade example is all blood orange and cantaloupe melon in the mouth, with a dry and spicy finish. It’s lovely. No wonder it has a piquancy about it, it made from 100% Shiraz. A great choice for all the al fresco frolics and shenanigans we’re inevitably going to be having over the summer.

Co-op’s best Red wine for summer

Muriel Tempranillo Vendimia Seleccionada Rioja, Spain, £7.35 (save £1.50 until 3rd June)

Now for the main event, and what can I say that I’ve not already said? Run, don’t walk to grab some while it’s still on deal. Even off promo, it’s still an incredible bargain. This is classic elegance of Rioja meets the new movement from younger winemakers bringing the region up to date with the modern palate. Off you go…

Al Fresco Red, Spain, £8.50

The winemaker of this fun little number is a friend of mine, Ray O’Connor MW. He’s crafted a summer glugging wine for Co-op, mid-way between a rosé and a red in colour and style, would that be a redé or a rosed? Either way, it’s innovative, and thankfully it tastes good, because that could have been an awkward conversation. It’s made 100% from the juicy Garnacha grape, so think pomegranate and dragon fruit in flavour, light in texture and very, very morish. Must be chilled before sipping, it’s the law.

Standing in front of the full length mirror at the gym, I flexed a bicep to admire my muscle definition, then snapped a photo on my phone.

‘Looking good!’ I said to myself.

A year ago, I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong, with a narrow waist.

Striking a pose for the camera in the gym is pretty standard behaviour these days, you might think.

But I’m no Gen Z influencer. I’m actually a septuagenarian – a person who was born in the age of typewriters, not smartphones.

This year I celebrated my 74th birthday, but I feel more like I’m 40.

In fact, I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes.

If I can do it in my early 70s, then you can do it too.

I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mum I had the same hang-ups as so many other women.

I didn’t like the way I looked, hiding my figure beneath baggy Laura Ashley dresses. I hated eating in front of people, fearing they’d judge me.

In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I juggled raising my daughter Laura, now 43, with a career in NHS clinical leadership that left me feeling stressed and depleted.

By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I wasn’t very good at asking for help – instead I’d sit in my car, listening to classical music and having a good cry. 

It was a good friend who eventually convinced me to see my GP. We were in the pub after work one day, nursing large glasses of wine, and I felt like I needed to share how I was feeling.

She was very understanding, which helped me to stop judging myself, and she gave me the confidence to seek help. 

I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery, but thankfully my GP was extremely sympathetic and I was signed off work with stress-related depression.

I went swimming and walked a lot. After six weeks, I thought I felt a little better, so I went back to work – only to end up off again two years later. The situation hadn’t changed and the dark feelings were coming back. 

That was my lightbulb moment. I handed in my notice.

I did a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. 

Around this time, my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 and think that’s it, they’re done, but for me it felt like a new beginning.

I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the machines, as I’d heard resistance training can help protect against frailty and falls as we age.

Over the next few years I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go – but at the end of every session I always felt better.

Becoming a grandma in 2011, when Laura had my gorgeous grandson, Jacob, spurred me on even more. They live in the US and I knew I needed to keep myself well to manage the long-distance flights. Jetlag is no fun if you’re not fighting fit.

I wrote and self-published a book in 2011 called Journey to Chocolate about my quest for a more balanced and satisfying life. People go through life on autopilot – I wanted to reach out and give them a shake.

I started eating ‘clean’ with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert; I slept better, and managing my weight was much easier. 

My husband, Iain, was totally on board. He started eating in a similar way and began feeling better, too, and I found that I was meeting and making friends with younger women who shared my enthusiasm for life. 

In spring 2020, as the Covid pandemic hit and the world went into lockdown, I became sick of hearing the over-50s described as ‘vulnerable’. I’d recently celebrated my 70th birthday and I felt anything but. In fact, I felt I’d had the best years of my life since turning 50.

But staying well as you age does take work, so in October 2022, I signed up with a personal trainer, Janine Worthington.

I met her through a women’s networking event and initially assumed she was quite young but when I saw her in person at a Macmillan Coffee Morning, I realised she was a mid-lifer who just looked really healthy.

‘I’d love to have a session or two with you,’ I admitted. If she could look so good then why couldn’t I?

During our first session in her garage gym she had me doing squats, lunges and lifting weights. Despite being hard work I surprised myself with how much I liked it.

It was different to how I normally worked out: we were chatting at the same time, so it was more enjoyable, and she helped me get the best out of each exercise, so I was learning as well. 

I discovered I responded well to being pushed during our one-to-one sessions, and Janine focused on what I could do, rather than my age. 

‘I can’t believe this is actually fun!’ I laughed.

Now I work out with Janine once a week, do regular pilates sessions with my teacher Beverley Densham and go for daily walks with Iain. 

We’ve been married 45 years and we’re still going strong.

I run a Facebook Group called The Unlikely Guru, to bring together other like-minded folk who want to enjoy their lives as they age.

I call myself the ‘unlikely’ Guru because if you’d told the 40-year-old me that I’d be a fitness influencer in my 70s, I’d have burst out laughing.

Now, I’m determined to lead an ‘ageing well’ movement.

My message is simple: it doesn’t matter how old you are – don’t give up and don’t settle. With a few simple tweaks, such as prioritising exercise, a good diet, lots of sleep, lowering stress and having a sense of purpose, it’s never too late to improve your vitality.
