M&S Boxing Day sale: This flattering, floral midi dress is now only £18

A midi dress is one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe, and if you love them as much as we do, you'll know just how much wear you can get out them – which is why when we spotted this Floral Round Neck Midaxi Tea Dress from Marks & Spencer in the Boxing Day sales, we knew it'd make the perfect new dress for our wardrobe.

Thanks to its navy colour and white and blue floral print, it goes with everything and is easy to dress up and down.

We'll be styling it with chunky boots and a cosy coat now the temperatures have plummeted and when summer returns, simply throw on a pair of trainers and a cross-body bag.

£18 £39.50 at M&S

Costing just £18, reduced from £39.50, it's very reasonably priced too, and best of all, it's still available in a range of sizes across petite, regular and tall sections.

You'll need to be quick however, as it's currently flying off the shelves.

Why we rate it

For starters, the statement dress can easily be styled depending on the occasion. In fact, it would make a stylish option for a New Years Eve party, if you're not one for full on sparkles.

The 3/4 length gathered sleeves add a formal touch and it's a classic print that won't date by next winter.

Its flattering silhouette has also been praised by M&S shoppers, who say they've had a lot of compliments on the number.

It also comes in a second print as well, which features a two contrasting floral prints for a striking look. The number has even been further reduced to just £15.
