The perfect summer wedding guest outfit (Image: Next)
Move over gingham and stripes; polka dots are reigning supreme this summer, especially when it comes to occasionwear. The high street is full of spotty pieces right now, and we're not complaining.
It appears to be Next leading the way with its gorgeous chocolate brown spotted co-ord reminiscent of a certain 'Pretty Woman' polo scene.
The exact matching set comes from Rochelle Humes edit with Next and features the Brown Glossy Satin Polka Dot Halter Top, priced at £32, and the matching Brown Glossy Satin Polka Dot Maxi Skirt, priced at £50.
The halter neck top comes in a soft satin fabric and ties at the back for a flattering finish, while the matching maxi skirt features the same trendy polka dot print, soft pleats, and a comfy wide elasticated waistband, that you can dance all night long in. Whether you go for the regular or petite fit, it's a throw-on-and-go look that still feels put-together.

Polka dots are one of the biggest trends of the year (Image: Next)
Chic, timeless and giving us some major Vivian Ward energy, this £80 two-piece is perfect for summer weddings, garden parties or any occasion, really.
It's both classy and fun, while being surprisingly easy to style. Simply add a wide-brim hat for that Julia Roberts look or some simple strappy heels and minimalist jewellery for a more understated look.
Our favourite thing about this outfit is that it's a co-ord rather than a dress. . If you're struggling to put an outfit together, a matching set could be your new best friend. Not only do they make getting dressed effortless, but each piece can be styled separately with your existing wardrobe, giving you even more bang for your buck.
If, however, you do prefer dresses, we love Nobody's Child White Polka Dot Bandeau Felicity Midi Dress, priced at £99, whihc is back in stock after its sell-out success.

Dunelm has a range of gingham bedding that is perfect to update your bedroom's aesthetic. It's Portloe Woven Gingham Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set comes in nine colour schemes so you'll have no trouble finding one to match your room. And it's been given a price reduction too just ahead of the summer months. It's currently on sale for £28.80 for the double set instead of it's original price of £36. The king size set is £33.60, reduced from £42 if you have a bigger bed to furnish. In the colour ochre, it screams sunshine but this stand-out set is also available in black for the monochrome lovers, blush and orchid for a girly theme and a range of blue tones including Ashley and Folkstone. Gingham bed sets are readily available at this time of year as the pattern is the epitome of summer for home interiors. Dusk has the Gabriella Gingham 100% Cotton Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set in the hue natural on sale for £34, down from £75.00. Meanwhile, Next's scalloped edge set is made by furn and comes in two colourways, pink and green. It's on sale for £36 on the Next website. Dunelm's Portloe set has had rave reviews from happy buyers. Some are so impressed they're buying multiple sets. With 243 reviews on Dunelm's site and a 4.5 out of 5 star rating, customers are thrilled with the quality and the look of the bedding. One said: "I love it. Its really great quality. I already own the green set for my double bed. Ordered the yellow for my spare room. Looks really cheerful. Washes well, no complaints." While another was planning on buying again. They said: "Amazing quality, feels soft against skin, rich colour, definitely going to buy another set." And another fan raved: "I purchased the green in bedding and matching curtains for our guest room and loved it so much that I purchased the black for our bedroom too. It looks amazing, washes well and is extremely comfortable to sleep in plus gingham is always so welcoming to look at." One customer said: "Gorgeous colours, lovely gingham texture, cotton fresh. I bought the yellow and it's a burst of sunshine!" And another happy shopper called it the 'gingham set of dreams' and added: "The colour is such a pretty shade of pink, and the fabric is so soft and comfortable. This is budget friendly and to be honest looks like it cost a lot more!" Some customers were disappointed in the fabric, however. One said: "Don't buy this set unless you are a fan of either a crumpled bed or of serious ironing. I fully expected to have to run an iron over it, after washing it, but this was hard work. " And another found the dimensions were too big for her duvet saying: "Duvet cover too big for our duvet which is such a shame. It looks nice but cut too big for a king size duvet so lots of excess cover."

Not only this, but the Maebe founder, 26, also revealed the beauty buy she swears by that leaves her face feeling 'brand new'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Molly-Mae Hague has candidly opened up on her "less than ideal" skin "issues" Credit: Instagram 7 The mother gave followers a close-up look at her "flare-ups", whilst sharing the beauty buy she swears by for clean, hydrated skin Credit: YouTube/MollyMae 7 She claimed that she has been dealing with pigmentation and eczema Credit: YouTube/MollyMae 7 The influencer raved about the Aveeno Face Foaming Make Up Removing Cleanser Credit: YouTube/MollyMae So if you've got sensitive skin and are looking for a product that will ensure your face feels clean and moisturised, you'll need to check this out. In Molly-Mae's latest vlog which was uploaded to YouTube just 15 hours ago, the Love Island star turned businesswoman shared the new high-street beauty buy she can't get enough of. As she took off her make-up, the Filter founder, who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, gave her honest thoughts on the Aveeno Face Foaming Make Up Removing Cleanser. The purse-friendly beauty product, which is currently on offer at Superdrug and has been slashed from £12.99 down to only £8.65, is dermatologist tested and removes make-up in an instant. Thrilled with the affordable find, the blonde beauty who recently got back together with Tommy Fury, 26, explained: 'Make-up day or no make-up day, there's only one cleanser that I'm using consistently, day in and day out - I've been using for a good few months now and it's this one from Aveeno. 'As you guys know, the Oat Gel Moisturiser is one of my absolute favourites so I wanted to do a little bit more digging on the range and see if I was going to love any of the products from the same range as much as I love this one. 'I find that so many cleansers dry my skin out and what I love most about this Aveeno one is that it doesn't do that. 'It maintains the moisture on my skin, it doesn't dry me out. 'It's such a good make-up remover as well, I had a really hard waterproof mascara on my lashes the other day - used this and it literally swiped it straight off.' The content creator who boasts 1.9million subscribers on YouTube and has a jaw-dropping £6million fortune, then shared an honest confession about her skin troubles, as she expressed: 'It is so good, it's fragrance-free and it's really good for sensitive skin which is great because for me right now, my eczema has actually flared back up. Molly-Mae Hague reveals the £18 secret to her summer glow - and you can get it even cheaper if you hurry 'I'm having pigmentation issues again and flare-ups with my eczema which is less than ideal. 'But right now, any product that's good for sensitive skin is calling my name.' I had a really hard waterproof mascara on my lashes the other day - used this and it literally swiped it straight off Molly-Mae Hague After using the cleanser, the mum-of-one beamed: 'My skin just feels so unbelievably clean, it feels like it really gets the grub and dirt out of my pores. 'That's cleanser done. My skin literally feels brand new. 'I think it's easy to forget that sometimes some of the best skincare products aren't actually crazily priced and you don't have to spend loads to get products that just really work.' Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3. Vegan Collagen Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4. The Rise Of AI AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level. 5. Hair Loss Solutions - Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health. Not only did Molly-Mae describe the cleanser as her 'current go-to' product for 'quick skincare' that makes her "feel 10/10', but she also acknowledged that it makes her feel 'so clean, so fresh, so moisturised, so soothed.' Beauty fans beam And it's clear that Molly-Mae, who recently opened up on 'destroying' her face during her filler phase, isn't the only person who loves the Aveeno buy, as it has currently racked up an average rating of 4.5 out of five on the Superdrug website. One person said: 'I loved this product! Firstly you get a really good amount for the price, a little goes a long way so I can see this bottle lasting some time! I've switched out my usual cleanser for this Aveeno product and I'm so impressed I don't think I'll be switching back! I'm having pigmentation issues again and flare-ups with my eczema which is less than ideal Molly-Mae Hague 'I didn't find it dried out my skin nor did I feel it left any kind of greasy feel and removed my make-up effortlessly! It has a slight clean smell, nothing too strong and feels very gentle on my skin!' Another added: 'Very moisturising and calming on my extremely sensitive skin. 'My face looks radiant and more smooth just after a few uses! It has a rich and soft lather which is perfect to remove makeup too.' A third commented: 'I love that this cleanser also removes all my make-up. My usual make-up remover leaves my face feeling oily so I cleanse afterwards. 'This is an all in one so saves time and space in the bathroom. Left my face feeling clean and not greasy or dry.'

‘I NEED that bag!' fashion fans yell about Next's fruity new accessory as they praise store's ‘insane' summer collection
A GOOD bag has the power to elevate any ordinary outfit into something extra special. So it comes as no surprise that fashion fans are racing to their nearest Next, in a bid to get their hands on one of the stunning new lemon handbags. 6 6 6 6 The store shared some of its favourite summer items in a picture slideshow on TikTok. "Psssttt - wanna see some of our fave accessories for summer?" they wrote over the top of the first snap. They then showed off the bag in question - a gorgeous beaded bright yellow number designed to look like a segment of lemon. "They need no introduction," they wrote over the picture. The £55 beaded bag also comes in an equally cute watermelon design. And it was clear the bag is going to be a sought after accessory this summer, judging by the hundreds of people commenting on the TikTok. "Neeeed that lemon bag," one wrote. "We love the lemon and watermelon bags, Next!" another praised. "Fruitylicious on the beach." "The lemon bag is going on the wishlist!" a third gushed. The summer trend dividing style queens - some call it a 'girl's best friend' but it brings back bad memories for others "Obsessed, beaded heaven," someone else said. "Sold. God sakes!" another joked. Other items included in the picture slideshow were a gorgeous shell necklace, which was paired with a green co-ord. And there are a fair few bags to choose from in store at the moment too. Like the "perfect summer beach bag" - a stunning cream option with tassels and intricate crochet detailing. Cow print is also a big trend this summer, with a neck scarf coming in the pattern to "elevate any outfit". Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. And there are even lace-up cow print loafers - sure to divide style fans. Fruit continues to be a big theme, with a red bag featuring miniature strawberries on it. The comments section was once again filled with people praising Next for the epic offerings, with one insisting: "Omg need it all!" "Next have excelled this summer," another added. "I fear Next is eating the other high street shops up atm???????" a third mused. "Erm ok slay!!!!!!!!" someone else commented. "Your summer pieces are insane!" another mused. While someone else said they "can't afford this". "Next is doing so good this season!" someone else concluded. 6 6
