Next had so many shoppers going back for more as people loved this 'light and comfortable' summer T-shirt dress
Next customers have been snapping up a "comfortable" summer dress, praised for being "very flattering" and made with a light material that "keeps you cool" in warmer weather. Its popularity has skyrocketed, with many customers returning to buy more colour options.
The Twist Short Sleeved T-shirt Summer Dress is priced from £24 and comes in sizes ranging from 6 to 26. To ensure an excellent fit for most shapes, Next also offer the same dress with petite and tall options.
Available in six styles, there are solid colours like black, khaki green, plum purple and red (all priced at £24). Next also offers two patterned versions - a white and black print costing £26 and a navy blue with white stripes for £28.
While similar dresses can be found at other retailers - such as the M&S Pure Cotton Striped Mini T-Shirt Dress (£25), Wallis Premium Jersey T-shirt Dress (available through Debenhams starting at £22) or New Look's Black Sequin T-Shirt Mini Dress (was £29.99, now £16) - it's Next's own Twist Short Sleeved T-shirt Summer Dress that's seeing a surge in orders.
With over 150 reviews across all styles, the dress consistently earns top marks, with the khaki green option being a fan favourite. The satisfaction has led several shoppers to invest in several different colours of these dresses, reports the Mirror.
One customer said: "This is a dress that will never date and will be useful for many occasions. It is comfortable to wear, and the twisted front makes it a bit more interesting." Another commented: "Excellent buy. Material good quality and a very flattering style."
Meanwhile, a third wrote: "Loose fitting and quite thin material but great for a holiday in the daytime or could be dressed up for nighttime." And, someone else added: "I only wanted the khaki version of this dress but for the price I thought why not try the black too. I'm so pleased I did. Very flattering for someone who is super conscious of my tummy area."
A fifth shopper wrote in their review: "Brilliant fit! Sits snuggly and it holds in all the right places, it really complements my figure and I got lots of nice comments at the event I wore it to!" Further feedback came from a shopper who said: "Fantastic easy wear summer dress. Very flattering and keeps you cool."
Another commented: "Fits well and does not cling. I have worn and washed the dress which doesn't need ironing if hung up straight away." And, one more said: "Comfortable, easy to dress up or dress down and most importantly non iron. My go-to dress for the summer!"
Some customers faced disappointment and chose to return the dress to Next. One shopper stated: "Returned as neck too high and felt uncomfortable."
There was also a critic who suggesting that the dress was "shapeless" and another had issues with the position of the twist knot by the fashion retailer. As for colour discrepancies, reviewers reported that the plain red turned out to be "more of a bright orange."

This High Street Shirt Looks Like Loewe – But It's Over £500 Cheaper

Few sartorial wins feel as satisfying as spotting a designer-looking staple on the high street. From M&S's scarf coat (a dead-ringer for Toteme's sell-out style) to Anthropologie's Melie Bianco bag featuring the same woven detailing as the coveted Bottega design, the high street continues to deliver affordable gems that punch well above their price tag. This month, fashion set favourite Zara has taken the spotlight with a chic new shirt that channels Loewe. The shirt in question? Zara's Embroidered Pocket Shirt, featuring detailing that looks strikingly similar to Loewe's cult-favourite Cotton Embroidered Logo Shirt. Crafted from a soft fabric, it combines the sophisticated fit of a shirt with the relaxed fabric of Lyocell - making it a go-to for smart balmy weather dressing, especially now that temperatures are on the rise. Naturally, the most stylish dressers have already taken notice of Zara's shirt, and one quick scroll through Instagram will reveal a laundry list of fashion insiders already wearing the designer-style number. Zara, Embroidered Pocket Shirt This cool shirt is a versatile addition to your summer wardrobe, taking you from work to dinner plans in an instant - just switch up your shoes. Of course, this isn't the first time a high street brand has looked to the Spanish label for inspiration. Last year, the coveted Loewe Squeeze bag - a chain embellished leather staple loved by everyone from Emily Ratajowski to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - was reimagined by H&M for a fraction of the price. Shortly after, the viral Anagram tank top (worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner) triggered a flurry of affordable lookalikes across the high street, from River Island to 4th And Reckless. When it comes to styling, consider pairing the shirt with the matching Cotton Asymmetric Linen Skirt. Swishy and sculptural in equal measure, it adds movement to the look while keeping things polished - perfect for everything from al fresco dinners to summer office days. Alternatively, if you want to wear the shirt separately, look to the fashion pack for style inspiration - a classic pair of straight leg jeans or wide-leg trousers are all you need. Shop the matching skirt below. 2. Zara, Asymmetric Linen Shirt This linen skirt is the ultimate midi to have in your wardrobe rotation this summer, incredibly stylish and equally as practical for warm weather.

The 11 most expensive-looking pieces in the supermarkets this week - including £15 F&F jeans that look so chic

While there's no better place for outfit inspiration than the Instagram app, the reality is that most of the fashion influencers we follow have a wardrobe few of us can afford. Shirt dresses from Simkhai, suede bags from Liffner and raffia sandals from Aquazzura; our feeds are a parade of high-end brands. But looking like our most polished selves doesn't have to come with a designer price tag. As editors it's our job to scour the high street for the sort of pieces that look far more expensive than their price tag. (And there's no bigger reward than being able to reply, 'Oh, no, this dress is actually from M&S ' when someone asks whether it's from Reformation.) But can we let you in on another secret? Some of the best basics to elevate your wardrobe can be found in the same place you're doing your weekly food shop: supermarkets. Our advice? Stroll (or scroll) past the 'on-trend' pieces and look for versatile wardrobe staples that you'll want to wear for years to come. Avoid synthetics such as polyester, as well as overpowering colours and prints. Instead, opt for clean lines (a timeless design will always look more designer), premium fabrics (think: cottons, linens and viscose), neutral colours (whites, beiges, blues and blacks) or rich tones (deep browns, yellows and reds). Below, we've rounded the most expensive-looking supermarket buys you can pick up in-store or online right now, from a co-ord from Tu at Sainsbury's and a midi dress from F&F at Tesco to barrel jeans from George at Asda. And the best part? Nothing costs more than £40. The most expensive-looking supermarket buys right now Tu Shell Top £18 Shop F&F Wide Leg Jeans £15 Shop Tu Halter Top £20 Shop Tu Midaxi Skirt £24 Shop F&F Midi Dress £25 Shop George Barrel Jeans £22 Shop George Midaxi Dress £39.50 Shop F&F Bikini Top & Bottoms £22.50 Shop
