A browse of their website left me thoroughly impressed with their new season collection, enabling me to compile a wish-list of my top picks, each priced under £50. From quilted floral jackets that exude a pricier vibe to eye-catching dresses perfect for spring and summer festivities, the choices were abundant.
Below are my fashion-writer approved selections from Roman that I foresee becoming staples in wardrobes for many years. These universally appealing items are designed to make the wearer feel as fabulous as they look.

This sought-after dress from Roman has us fantasising about holidays on a Greek isle, with numerous customers noting its resemblance to styles featured in Mamma Mia. Crafted from a smooth, woven fabric, this blue and white printed dress offers a chic, spring-ready aesthetic that radiates sophistication, reports the Mirror.
This is the ideal choice for a sun-drenched holiday or simply relaxing at home, offering an effortlessly chic outfit when teamed with tan sandals or fresh white trainers for £42. However, it might not be the best fit for those on the shorter side, as petite or regular skirt lengths are not available.
The fabric can easily be altered to meet your requirements, for those looking for a dress with a similar print that comes in petite, regular or tall sizes, Boden's Marcia Jersey Midi Shirt Dress could be a good option.

A lightweight jacket is essential for transitional weather and Roman's Stretch Pocket Detail Jacket, priced under £40, is a strong contender.

It's a fantastic alternative to a denim jacket, with shoppers praising it has 'plenty of stretch', ensuring it 'doesn't feel restrictive'. Customers have also highlighted its 'high quality' material, guaranteeing it will withstand wear and tear and remain a spring wardrobe staple for years to come.

The Pink Abstract Print Shirred Waist Maxi Dress has been hailed as 'even more stunning than it looks online' by a five-star reviewer. Its eye-catching print and flowing skirt make it an ideal choice for upcoming spring or summer celebrations, such as weddings.
Customers have praised the dress for its 'not too high' split and 'discreet pockets'. Retailing at under £50, this exquisite piece has left wearers feeling 'like a million dollars'.
However, some have noted that the dress is 'far too long dragging on the floor', suggesting that those of shorter stature may need to alter it or pair it with chunky wedges. For those fond of this style, the Nobody's Child Pink Floral Bandeau Ruby Maxi Dress might also appeal.

This Roman maxi skirt can be paired with virtually anything in a wardrobe, including t-shirts, cami tops, cardigans, and jumpers. Shoppers have commended the lining for ensuring comfort and preventing any see-through concerns.

Printed jackets are the talk of the town this season, with celebrities and fashion editors alike donning them. This Black Floral Print Cotton Jacket is described as 'gorgeous', and it's also available in pink for those who prefer a more vibrant look. A popper fastening allows it to be worn closed, but we're quite taken with the idea of pairing it open over a plain white tee and light blue denim jeans.
The bold pattern might not appeal to everyone, but the monochrome version ensures it doesn't become overwhelming. For those willing to splurge a bit more, Next offers a similar style with their 'well admired' Ecru/Navy Quilted Embroided Jacket priced at £76.
