The spring weather has us dreaming of sunny barbecues and after work glasses of rosé on a sun-kissed roof terrace.
And that means picking out the perfect outfits for the occasions. Nothing says summer like a bright and floaty midi dress, and this one by John Lewis is perfect for any sunny outing.
Polka dots are a hot trend for spring/summer 2022, so this pale blue former sell-out frock will ensure you are ahead of the fashion pack. Even the Duchess of Cambridge chose a stylish polka dot midi dress to wear for Prince Philip's memorial service.
Shoppers who managed to get their hands on the number last summer say it ticks all the boxes when it comes to being both super-flattering and comfortable.
Flaring out at the hem for a feminine silhouette, the John Lewis midi dress is decorated with playful spots throughout.
Classically framed with its notch neckline and three-quarter length sleeves, this piece is a carefree option for wherever the day takes you.
Many shoppers also note its flattering fit, thanks to its subtle elasticated waist. Meanwhile, others were pleasantly surprised to discover the dress comes complete with pockets.
The dress can be left floaty and free, or styled with a belt for a more structured look. It works perfectly with white trainers for a more casual look, or dressed up with boots or heels – so it's sure to be a versatile and well-worn number in your wardrobe throughout spring and summer.
