Shopping writer's top picks from Roman's boho summer collection
Roman has launched its new summer collection comprising a variety of easy-to-wear pieces inspired by 'bohemian romance' and 'breezy escapes'. Included in the range are gorgeous dresses, vibrant jumpsuits and comfortable trousers that can be worn on holiday, at festivals and while attending special occasions such as weddings.
The Effortless Summer 2025 Range brings a 'fresh, modern twist to seasonal staples' and features floral, patchwork and boho patterns. The garments are made from breathable fabrics, such as linen and cotton, and offer on-trend silhouettes.
Roman has dropped a variety of new stylish items in regular, petite, and curve fits. For a limited time, shoppers can save on the new collection by entering the special discount code NEW at checkout to get 10% off their order.
I frequently write about Roman's clothes, so I couldn't wait to dive into the new Effortless Summer 2025 Range and select my top picks. First up is the vibrant and versatile Multi Landscape Print Tie Waist Shirt Dress, which comes in sizes 10 to 20 and costs £37.80 after applying the code.
The classic knee-length shirt dress features beautiful beach scenery, including palm trees and shells, making it a holiday must-have. It can be worn over swimwear with flip-flops as a beach cover-up, or paired with chunky sandals or wedges for dining on a sunny terrace.
The shirt dress has three-quarter length sleeves and a tie belt to cinch in the waist if desired, plus it has handy side pockets. Next is selling a similar Bright Palm Graphic Print Tie Waist Shirt Dress priced at £49 that comes in sizes six to 26 in both regular and tall fits, unlike the Roman options which is only available in regular.
Shoppers who prefer a longer garment may be interested in Roman's new Black Floral Print Border Maxi Dress that features a beautiful pattern with contrasting trims. The frock flows beautifully into a smock shape and has floaty three-quarter length sleeves and a flattering V-neckline.
The dress is available in sizes 10 to 20 and the discount code brings the cost down to £40.50. Despite being new, the maxi has already earned an overall rating of 4.7 out of five.
One thrilled customer commented: "Fabulous dress. Lightweight cotton means that the tiers of the dress float beautifully. The bodice fits perfectly, giving a flattering slim silhouette, and the sleeves are a lovely bell shape at a perfect length. Talking of length, it's a real maxi on me at 5'2" and looks fab. The neckline, sleeves and hem are double bound in the red pattern, it's so well made. I'm going to float around in this at a special family party and I'll feel great."
It's worth noting, however, that as the Black Floral Print Border Maxi Dress is only available in a regular fit, so it may not be the desired maxi length on taller people. The dress is also made from 100% cotton, so it will require extra care when washing.
Next is selling a similar Love & Roses Monochrome Floral Midaxi Shirt Dress for £68 that's available in sizes eight to 22. This V-neck frock has a similar pretty tiered skirt and three-quarter length sleeves.
Jumpsuits are the perfect garment to throw on and go, whether heading to the beach or brunch with friends. Roman's Green Zig Zag Print Full Length Jumpsuit is sure to receive many compliments with its stunning statement pattern.
The sleeveless jumpsuit has full-length wide-leg trousers and is priced at £37.80 when the discount code is applied. It has a stylish stand collar and is adorned with buttons on the bodice, while the belted waist adds definition.
We think the Green Zig Zag Print Full Length Jumpsuit would look fabulous worn with flip-flops or chunky sandals for a daytime occasion, or pair it with wedges for an evening look. On chillier days, add a denim jacket for a warm yet stylish ensemble.
New Look's Yumi Green Floral Print Wide Leg Jumpsuit has a similar pattern but with tie strap fastenings instead. Priced at £55, it comes in sizes eight to 16 and has a square neckline and an elasticated shirred bodice.
Roman's complete Effortless Summer 2025 Range can be shopped here. Remember to enter the discount code NEW at the checkout to receive 10% off orders.

However, there are other places to bag a selection of beauty products for a great price, with Next offering collections of sought-after makeup, skin, haircare, and fragrance for as little as £18. One haul that Next shoppers can currently snap up is the Be You with Pride Beauty Box. One of the most affordable beauty boxes we've seen recently, it costs £20 but is worth over £90, offering more than four and a half times its budget-friendly price tag. To put it another way, with seven products in the box, each item works out to be £2.80 each. Inside, shoppers will find a variety of beauty treats from big-name brands such as Pixi, BareMinerals and Tangle Teezer, among others.

The bundle features a handpicked selection of the most coveted, highest-rated essentials adored by the LookFantastic community - from wishlist favourites to tried-and-tested classics from brands including Liz Earle, Sol de Janeiro, Murad and others. The Be You with Pride Beauty Box boasts just one - albeit glowing - review on Next's website. However, the BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Blonzer enjoys an impressive overall star-rating of 4.4 out of five based on over 340 reviews on the BareMinerals website, where the full-sized 25ml tube retails for £25.50. One delighted customer commented: "I really like the liquid bronzer. Just a little goes a long way. It smooths on nicely. It is not sticky. Blends well." Another penned: "The liquid blush/bronzer is great. You barely have to use any to get great colouring. It blends well too. "I am very pleased with this product," someone else remarked. "It gives a natural glow which you can build for a more 'makeup' look. I prefer a more natural look, so ideal for me. This colour is lovely on my slightly olive skin. Can wear on its own or over tinted moisturiser/foundation." One shopper, however, described the Complexion Rescue Blonzer as 'disappointing' and awarded it a three-star review. It reads: "I thought I would love this product but it's very hard to get a small amount out and it seems like there isn't much product in the container. Since you only need a very small amount to achieve the desired results you are wasting a lot of product when trying to get product out." But another adored their latest BareMinerals purchase, adding: "With aging skin, powder blush illuminates all the wrinkles on dry skin. This looks great and goes on looking natural. Now if someone can only figure out how to account for high altitude's pressure here that makes half of it escape when you open it, that would be great."

JD Vance's secret service 'circus' takes over sleepy Cotswolds village
Locals have been left shell-shocked after US vice-president JD Vance and his secret service motorcade rode into their sleepy hamlet on his very British holiday to the Cotswolds. Taking time off from being ruthlessly mocked in South Park, the US vice president is winding down for the summer holidays in the hamlet of Dean, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. But villagers are being overwhelmed by the 'Men in Black' like security entourage treating 'old ladies like terrorists' and implementing roadblocks that put a burden on the idyllic location. One woman told The Times the village had seen 'one blinking pantomime after the other' and said: 'We are used to the great and good here. Before David Cameron moved in we had Douglas Hurd and he was lovely. 'We have Ben Kingsley in Spelsbury and we see him in the woods walking his dog, but to close off the roads is ridiculous.' The woman told the paper she and a friend had been stopped by police blocking a footpath while walking through the area, and said: 'I told the police 'we are two old ladies, we are hardly terrorists'.' Another local told the Guardian police were knocking on doors asking for personal details of residents and their social media accounts. He said: 'I know several people refused. We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people.' One local ranted to LBC: 'Generally we like to welcome everybody to Chipping Norton, but no, I'd absolutely kick him in the shins.' Vance is visiting the Cotswolds, nestled in the lush rollinghills, with his wife Usha and children Ewan, Mirabel and Vivek. They are renting a luxurious home from Johnny and Pippa Hornby, who have transformed the Edwardian garden into a 'waterworld' with added swimming pools. In a message seen by The Telegraph, Ms Hornby told neighbours she was 'so sorry for the circus that is there for the next few days', and that she hoped it would not be 'too disruptive'. But JD Vance was mixing business with pleasure as he visited British foreign secretary David Lammy on Saturday. The meeting took place at the Foreign Secretary's official country retreat, Chevening, in Kent, where Mr Vance stayed at the start of his UK jaunt. After the meeting, Mr Lammy said: 'The UK's support for Ukraine remains ironclad as we continue working towards a just and lasting peace.' It is understood that the meeting had been called at Washington's request, and included representatives from the US, Ukraine, France, Germany, Italy, Finland and Poland as well as the UK.

Halle Berry's ex slammed after accusing star of 'not cooking and cleaning'
Halle Berry's ex has been skewered by fans (Image: Getty Images for Joylux & Playgr) Halle Berry's ex has been skewered by fans after lifting the lid on his relationship with the Oscar winner. David Justice was married to the Monsters Ball star for four years from 1993 to 1997. Details were scarce regarding the couple's divorce, but now David has come out swinging, claiming he left the A-lister because she didn't cook, clean - or seem "motherly". Speaking on the All the Smoke podcast with co-host Matt Barnes, David reflected on his high-profile relationship with the Catwoman star. It comes as actress, Sophie Turner, clapped back at a fan, who accused her of abandoning her kids while partying at an Oasis concert.

And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem, like, motherly." He added that eventually he "realised this isn't the person I wanted to spend my life with", but claimed the he later understood that the marriage could have been saved if he "knew about therapy". He concluded: "It's just that I, because I was young, had only been in honestly one real relationship before her. My knowledge and my understanding and my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast. David also admitted that he deeply hurt Halle by jumping ship rather than 'massaging' it or seeking 'therapy' in an attempt to mend their relationship. The couple may still be together if they'd had therapy, according to David However, following his comments, many fans slammed the MLB star, with one taking to X, fuming: "Motherly? She was his partner, not his mom." Another said: "Imagine expecting Halle Berry, the first Black actress to earn $20m for a movie, the #1 most desirable woman in the world for decades, the first Black woman to win an Oscar, to stay home to cook and clean. Men and audacity." Meanwhile, a third raged: "David really expected THEE Halle Berry in her prime to be a stay at home housewife. Talk about an all-time fumble for Mr. Justice." In the podcast, David also said that he was upset with his ex-wife for not clarifying that he was not the ex she said that had once physically abused her. In 1996, Halle told People that she had an abusive, unnamed ex, who once struck her in the head and ended up puncturing her eardrum, causing her to suffer from hearing loss. "She let the world think it was me," David claimed, adding: "I thought she was dead wrong for that." The Mirror has contacted Halle's rep for comment on this story.
