Next's 'simple but stylish' £34 linen dress shoppers want 'in every colour'
Next fans have been ordering a summer dress that they claim is versatile enough for casual days out or to be dressed up of an evening. The outfit also scores points for practicality, being made from a 'cooling' material and featuring useful pockets.
The Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress with Linen from Next is crafted from a 'lightweight' linen blend that the retailer says is ideal for summer wear. The 'breathable' and 'soft' fabric provides a way to stay both 'stylish' and 'cool' in the heat.
Retailing at £34, the Cream Mono Placement Floral option has been the most popular pattern among shoppers. Many have shared their thoughts on the 'classy' dress in the reviews section.
As well as Next, there are other kinds of linen dresses available online if you're looking to bulk out your summer wardrobe. For instance, Roman is offering a £40 Linen Mix Shift Dress, and Debenhams stocks a Linen Print Dress with Pockets by SOLO for £29.99, reduced from £60.
For a more budget-friendly option, H&M has discounted its Linen-blend halterneck dress in a 'fun' print from £27.99 to £23.80. Alternatively, New Look offers an Apricot Pink Pleated Linen-Look Knee Length Dress, significantly marked down from £34 to £10, reports the Mirror.

Customers who already have their hands on Next's Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress with Linen have heaped praise on its versatility, saying it can be glammed up with heels or kept casual with trainers or sandals. It also boasts convenient side pockets and is described as providing a 'relaxed, 'comfortable' fit.
One buyer gave a five-star review, and said: "I bought it as a simple day dress for holidays, only now having been able to try it on. It can be easily dressed up for an evening venue too."
Another added: "Loved the fabric. Loved the easy-to-wear style and the fit was just right." A third commented: "Love it. Classy but casual at the same time. Easy to dress up or down."
However, the reviews contained some criticisms as well, with a few purchasers mentioning the fabric felt "very thin and cheap". Others pointed out potential issues, noting: "As this item is not lined, it's completely see-through when worn, even with flesh-coloured underwear."

However, another customer was thrilled to write: "Material is soft and comfy to wear on holiday, perfect fit. I bought all designs in same dress. Good value for money as they look more expensive!"
Another reviewer added: "A simple but stylish dress that I'm looking forward to wearing." Someone else put in their review: "It's a really striking and attractive design. It looks so nice on and makes such a change from small flowery prints."
The dress can be found in sizes 6 to 26 in regular, 4 to 20 in petite and 10 to 20 in tall. However, at the time of writing, certain sizes and patterns have either sold out or are low in stock - thus shoppers are advised to place their orders promptly.

Rochelle Humes wows in £32 top from Next that 'will never age'
The top was praised by shoppers who felt like an 'iconic movie star' when wearing the outfit Next shoppers say that a "flattering" top from Next gets them "lots of compliments" whenever they wear it. Modelled by TV star Rochelle Humes, the outfit was hailed by shoppers as something that "will never age". The former The Saturdays singer stood posed with her hands on her hips to showcase the Brown Glossy Satin Polka Dot Halter Top online. It costs £32 and shoppers could also continue the look with the matching Polka Dot Maxi Skirt that is £50 to create an effect of a full dress. The mum-of-three completed her look with some off-white heels and a touch of jewellery. The top, from the This Morning presenter's collection with the high street store, is made from a "soft satin fabric" and finished with a tie fastening. Similar styles are available elsewhere. New Look has a £9.99 Cream Polka Dot Slash Neck Top and Debenhams has this Polka Dot Print Halter Neck in black for £28.50, reduced from £38. There's an almost identical top for sale over on ASOS - the Tank Top in Brown Polka Dot costs £32 and is made from non-stretch denim. But, Rochelle's top at Next is a clear favourite amongst shoppers. In the reviews, one said: "Wore this to a family party [and got] lots of compliments. It's easy to wear [and] very flattering." Another wrote: "Lovely top, nice to have a different colour top to wear dressed up or casually." A third added that it was "Very pretty". Someone else put: "Exactly what I wanted!" Reviewing the skirt, a fifth shopper said: "The quality of the material is stunning. It hangs lovely and I love poka dots. A little bit expensive but it will never age." There was one person who said they felt like an iconic movie character, writing: "I felt like Pretty Woman. Amazing!" Another fan said: "Beautiful piece of clothing will wear for many years." And, there was one more review that claimed: "I got the top in store and couldn't resist the skirt to complete my 'Pretty Woman' look! Skirt comes up big (I think due to the elasticated waist?)" There are no negative reviews so far, other than one about the skirt, where a shopper claimed the material "creased so badly." The lack of criticism in the reviews section may be off-putting for some shoppers. Plus, the top and skirt are made from 100% recycled polyester, which may be another turn-off for some who prefer more organic material.

Best Oasis t-shirts to buy from the high street for under £30
Fans of the iconic Britpop band are in luck as the high street is packed with options for anyone who was lucky enough to bag a ticket - or those still hopeful to snap one up on resale With the long-awaited Oasis tour finally on the horizon (five weeks and counting), fans across the UK are scrambling to dig out their old records, brush up on lyrics, and, of course, find the perfect T-shirt to wear to the gig. And the high street is brimming with options ideal for anyone fortunate enough to bag a ticket - or those still hopeful to snap one up on resale. In recent years, concert outfits have become a major part of gig culture, with fans of Harry Styles, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter paving the way for gig goers' style choices. And while the vibe of the upcoming Oasis tour may be less cowboy boots and feather boas, and more bucket hats and parka coats, the sentiment of getting your gig attire in the bag early is very much the same. Many high street retailers have been quick to celebrate the legacy of one of Britain's most influential rock bands with branded merch. Whether you want a faithful reproduction of a vintage tour tee or a modern take of the band's signature aesthetic, there's something out there for every kind of fan - even the ones who weren't born when What's The Story (Morning Glory) topped the charts. Ahead of the tour, which kicks off in Cardiff on July 4, we've rounded up the best Oasis T-shirts currently available on the UK high street, from trusted names like Debenhams, Next, River Island, ASOS, and New Look. After all, if you're going to be shouting along to Live Forever in a packed arena, you want to look the part doing it, right? Debenhams Be Here Now Illustration T Shirt - was £28.99, now £24.99 Celebrating the third studio album from the band, this Be Here Now t-shirt is an official licensed unisex design in a bold colourway. It's made from a 'high quality soft-style cotton' with short sleeves, and comes in a wide range of sizes from small through XX-Large. Easy to style, it can be paired with jeans or shorts, or to take style cues from Coronation Street's Brooke Vincent, she styled the tee with a pink satin skirt, gingham blazer and silver trainers for a playful look. The retailer also has some pretty unique designs I didn't spot elsewhere, like a 1998 World Tour South America t-shirt, and a Shaker Maker design, too. There's also the immediately recognisable Decca Logo Skinny Fit T Shirt in blue, however, reviews of this t-shirt have expressed disappointment in the fit of this particular tee. Next White/Black Oasis Graphic Band 100% Cotton T-Shirt - £25 A cult-classic, this white tee starring the iconic Oasis logo is available from Next for £25. In pure cotton, this regular fit t-shirt is complete with short sleeves and crew neckline, and will no doubt be the uniform of choice for many attending the likes of Wembley, Heaton Park and the Principality Stadium this summer. One shopper commented on the design, leaving a five star review which read: 'This was a birthday gift for our son, he was really pleased with it, good fit (he wears an adult small) and so far it's washed well. He's now all set for when he sees the band in July!' For some alternative options, there's the Yellow/Brown Official Oasis License Raglan Elbow Colour Block Graphic T-Shirt for £28, but something about the brown and yellow colourway is reminding me of the Girlguiding Brownies uniform. Similar to Debenhams' Be Here Now top, Next has a White Colour Oasis Graphic Band 100% Cotton T-Shirt featuring a line illustration of the Definitely Maybe album cover for £24, which is equally as cool. River Island White Regular Fit Oasis Definitely T-Shirt - £26 Sticking with the beloved debut album, this River Island t-shirt features the Oasis logo in blue on the left chest, with Definitely Maybe written on the right. Made from 100% cotton, the reverse repeats the name of the album, with a graphic of the band in its heyday. It comes in a regular fit with a crew neck and short sleeves, priced at £26 in sizes XS to XXL. There are some more affordable options from £22, too. The Black Regular Fit Oasis T-Shirt sees the Oasis logo front and centre but slightly smaller than we've seen previously, making for a refreshing take on the design. It's also available in white. Meanwhile, the £26 White Regular Fit Oasis Band T-Shirt stars an image of the Gallagher brothers' faces with the logo in blue beneath them. ASOS Topman oversized fit t-shirt with Oasis print in white - £24 Reminiscent of former Pretty Green's designs, the Topman oversized fit t-shirt with Oasis print in white costs £24 and features a tambourine. Beneath it is a quote from Noel Gallagher which reads: 'Purchased in Manchester in '94. Appears on the cover of Supersonic. Has been played on EVERY Oasis track EVER.' The retailer also has a t-shirt from Jack & Jones, with an Access All Areas pass illustrated on the front, with a setlist on the back including tracks like Slide Away and Cigarettes and Alcohol. However, some shoppers may be disgruntled that some sizes cost £22, while others are £20. New Look Only & Sons Black Oasis Print Short Sleeve T-Shirt - £22 New Look only has two options, but our top pick is a take on the black and white logo, with this one coming with burst graphics in the same font as the 2008 Dig Out Your Soul album. Made from 100% cotton and costing £24, its round neck and relaxed in its design, making it a great choice for belting out the set list. There is a second option in the Only & Sons Unisex Black Oasis Swirl Print T-shirt. The Union Jack swirl was one of the first logos the band ever had, designed by Tony French and used on ten cassette copies of their demo. One later sold for £6,000. Amazon Knebworth In Navy T-Shirt - £24 Last, but certainly not least, this week Amazon announced the launch of an exclusive range of Oasis merchandise, ahead of the band's hugely anticipated Live '25 tour. Available to buy now are Knebworth 1996 t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts and jumpers - paying homage to one of the band's most legendary and famous gigs and arguably the pinnacle of 90s Britain. The design, with the Oasis logo on the crest sitting atop the bold Union Jack tricolor, is a fitting throwback to one of the band's most storied moments. As well as the Knebworth 1996 range available now, over the next six months Amazon will be releasing a number of designs celebrating the upcoming Live '25 tour. Graphics commemorating previous iconic tours including 2006's North American Tour and the Wembley dates from 1997's All Around The World tour will be available soon. Classic album artwork merchandise including Be Here Now and Heathen Chemistry will also be available.

Chicago sandwich king debuts new Italian beef collab at Time Out Market
Acclaimed Hulu series The Bear continues to put spotlight on Chicago and its iconic Italian beef sandwich, catapulting our culinary scene to new heights and creating lots of copycats. But Chicagoans know there's nothing better than the real deal — which is why we're thankful for Windy City native Jeff Mauro, and his latest creation for Stefani's Bottega Italiana at Time Out Market Chicago. The new Mauro Beef Sandwich layers slow-roasted, thin-sliced prime beef with hot peppers and tangy giardiniera relish, served with gravy. Find it at Stefani's, which opened at Time Out Market in the West Loop back in February. The Italian icon typically slings Roman-style pizzas, pastas, and schiacciata sandwiches, but we have a feeling this big, beefy number might just outdo its predecessors. Born and raised in Oak Park, chef Jeff Mauro is considered the Sandwich King on Food Network's The Kitchen, and for good reason. For years, Mauro has been on a mission to make the best version of the beloved Chicago-style Italian beef. Only now has he finally achieved his goal with what he calls 'the best Italian beef for purchase,' featuring Turano bread, gravy, and an original recipe for giardiniera. (Pro tip from chef: Don't say the 'a' at the end of giardiniera when you order.) ' It's the greatest beef that you will ever taste,' Mauro told WBBM. 'And I guarantee that. It's USDA choice or prime whole muscle chuck roll. It's not filled with anything, it's like rubbed and roasted old school, sliced paper thin.' The Food Network star's collaboration with Stefani Restaurant Group includes a plan to ship this truly famous beef across the country, giving restaurants along the East Coast a taste of Chicago. Apparently, Mauro's father grew up with Phil Stefani, making this partnership a 'super special' personal and professional experience. And if you're looking for a high-quality beef sandwich outside the immediate area, Mauro recommends looking for high-turnover locales to guarantee fresh ingredients. 'The secret key is you got to wrap that sandwich,' he said. 'Throw it in a greasy paper bag.'
