We're on the hunt for all the best spring/summer staples to buy now and wear for years to come, from lightweight wide leg linen trousers to a worthy new dress addition that's flattering, floral and under £30.
One of our favourite summer looks is a midi dress with trainers or sandals; it's easy, stylish and hassle-free. And if you're on a budget we've discovered the Marks & Spencer Jersey Ditsy Print Midi Dress for just £25.
The lightweight jersey fabric makes it perfect for warmer days and its self-tie belt adds an extra something, making it suitable to be taken right through to the evening.
Our suggestion? Pair it with a denim jacket and a pair of trainers and you've got a ready-made brunch outfit. Watch out, though, it's selling out quickly and we can see why.
Why we rate it:
Available in short, regular or long lengths, you can dress to your height but also to your preference. If you'd like more of a midaxi look, try sizing up a length. If you're usually a regular fit, a long fit will give you an extra floaty finished look.
As well as its three fits; short, regular and long, the dress is available in sizes six to 24.
Oh, but that's not all. We're suckers for a puffed sleeve, a simple outfit elevation which makes it more than an everyday midi dress.
The combination of classic ditsy style with modern flourishes makes it not only flattering, but on-trend, too.
If you're looking for something for a more dressed-up evening out, pair it with a blazer draped over your shoulders and a pair of heeled sandals. Don't be afraid to add a pop of colour to your feet, too. We're thinking fuchsia.
What the reviews say:
You don't have to take our word for it, these happy shoppers are also on the floral tea dress bandwagon.
"Lovely dress. Easy to wear and no frills or tiers. True to size."
"Very pretty dress. Easy to wear for going out or shopping. Size and length right for me."
"Looked way better than I expected and fits perfectly. I'd usually take a bigger size just in case and I didn't have to with this dress. Really good buy."
"Quite fitted on waist. Very flattering, beautiful pretty print."
"Easy to wear day dress, bought in short length which was a good fit for my height of 5 foot, still mid calf. Would have preferred a slightly lower neck line."
The one thing many of the reviewers seem to agree on is that they wish the dress came in more prints. Your move, M&S.
