Shoppers said the Next midi dress is "ideal for holiday" and looks "lovely" on
Next shoppers are heaping praise on a "lovely" summer dress they've been snapping up online. The retailer is well known for it's on-trend clothing and accessories - and there may be a new favourite in stock.
The fashion retailer is selling the Midi Slip Summer Dress, which is available in a range of designs including a bright pink and orange pattern, blue tie dye, black/green, and black/animal. It is priced at £28.
The dress comes in regular and petite lengths, in sizes six to 22. However, it is worth noting that some sizes are selling out quickly.
According to Next, the dress has a smaller fit than usual, so this is worth noting when ordering online. It features a midi length and adjustable shoulder straps, and is machine washable.
The full product description reads: "The perfect dress for sunny holidays or warm weather dressing, this flattering midi-length dress has a lightweight slip design, made from a soft fabric with adjustable shoulder straps and a split side hem."
Alternatively, for those searching for the perfect summer attire River Island offers the Pink Broderie Midi Dress at £69. The Red Gingham Bow Back Midi Dress is available at New Look for £33.99, and Very carries the chic Vero Moda Woven Ankle Drop Hem Dress for £44.
Next's Midi Slip Summer Dres s has shoppers mostly impressed, though some did note issues. One person said: "Bright colourful good quality and fits well," and a second wrote: "Lovely summer dress, wore it recently on holiday."
One shopper commented on the split in the dress and claimed it felt more like beachwear. They added: "Lovely dress. Fits well but has a very high split up the leg. Think it's more suited to beach wear rather than an every day dress."
Others liked that you could wear the dress for the beach or just a normal day, with one person writing: "Great light dress to wear on its own or over your swimsuit, lovely colours material lovely and soft. Great addition to my summer wardrobe."
A different shopper said: "This is a lovely dress...although I wanted to wear it in the day with my swimwear I think I would want to dress it up for night too."
The praise continued, with one shopper saying: "Lovely dress. Bought for a Caribbean holiday. Got lots of compliments. True to size. Doesn't crease."

Is It Time To Give The Divisive Jeans A Second Chance?

As part of my job, I spend hours scrolling through websites, tracking what's trending and what people are adding to their baskets. One morning, I stopped in my tracks - there they were again: M&S was selling a pair of jeggings with 11,870 reviews, a 4.4-star rating, and 75% of shoppers recommending them, already running low in stock. Jeggings defined a particular moment in fashion history. Picture this: Spring 2010, they were the skinny-fit staple you wore with a Chloé Paddington slung over your arm and an Alexander McQueen scarf looped around your neck. But while they promised the stretch of leggings with the look of jeans, many fell out of love with them because they weren't as comfortable as we hoped, never mind the the endless adjusting and inevitable elastane fatigue. But the day we never thought would come has arrived, and, now, they've been reimagined. Today's versions are softer, more sculpting, and cut from fabrics that lift and flatter, with elasticated high waistbands for ease. One M&S reviewer summed it up simply, saying they had 'waited for these to come back into stock' and that they love 'the fit'. According to Megan, a stylist at Silkfred, the jegging's enduring appeal comes from 'comfort and ease of movement while still giving you the streamlined look of denim.' She describes them as 'polarising' because they sit in the 'in-between space of jeans and leggings' and can instantly conjure memories of the early 2010s - the era of over-styled club looks, heavy eyeliner, and dodgy digital camera snaps. Still, she pointed out that for anyone who loves the feel of leggings and wants skinny silhouettes back in their wardrobe, jeggings are 'an incredibly practical option.' On whether we're seeing a genuine revival, Megan links the resurgence to fashion's wider knack for anything nostalgic, saying that with retailers like M&S reintroducing them, more brands are leaning into the late-2000sand early 2010s aesthetic. She doesn't expect them to dominate denim trends - 'we never saw a jegging on the runway' - but said the rise of comfort-first dressing and body-contouring styles is helping them find their audience again. While Megan believes jeggings will always carry a nostalgic edge, they can be rendered a classic style if worn in minimal ways. Her advice? 'They can look timeless when styled in a minimal, elevated way. Perhaps a dark indigo wash or black jeggings with a crisp, oversized shirt, a blazer, and pointed flats. The key is keeping the rest of the outfit simple and avoiding the over-styled early-2010s look we remember from their first heyday.' In short, jeggings may never reclaim their 2010 peak, but in fashion, no trend is ever truly gone for good. 1. M&S, Ultra High Ankle Leather Jeggings 2. M&S, High Waisted Jeggings Indigo Mix 3.
