Next's red dress is a summer must-have for all ages and shapes
High street fashion giant Next has unveiled a range of new collections, enticing shoppers with holiday attire in summer-ready hues. I had my eyes on one particular dress that is an ideal piece for many occasions. The Puff-Sleeve Midi Dress in Bright Red is a charming midi style that elegantly falls just above the ankle. It features a gathered waist with an elasticated band to maintain a desirable hourglass figure. The dress is priced at €46, but the silky fabric and sophisticated cut give it a more luxurious feel. The short puff sleeves rest comfortably on my arms, perfect for concealing any arm insecurities without the elasticated cuffs causing discomfort. With the gathered drapes positioned high at the waist, it creates the illusion of added height - a bonus for someone who stands at 5ft3in like me. The vibrant red caught my eye whilst browsing in the store. After trying it on, I was completely taken with it. I can envision shoppers donning it for posh luncheons, special events and even weddings and graduation ceremonies. This midi-length dress has a flattering short puff sleeve and elegant high-neck detailing, made from a smooth fabric with a gathered waist and a button fastening to the back of the neck This Next dress does not feature any zip fastening and instead the elasticated waist provides flexibility for the wearer, making it easier to put it on. However, one aspect I found lacking was the absence of pockets - it would have been handy to have side pockets for a lipstick or tissue. Red frocks are a summer favourite, and this Finery Red Camille Chiffon Midi Dress is very similar to the Next dress, but in lightweight chiffon fabric. It's priced at €75. Boden's Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress, is a more expensive option for those with a bigger budget at €190. It features a V-neckline and tiered skirt with side pockets. The Next dress is a piece that should suit most ages, and can be dressed up or down. Pair it with kitten heels and a clutch bag for a dinner date, or keep it casual with sandals as Lorraine Kelly demonstrated with her Forever New dress and M&S sandals. I wore the dress with these Reef Sunny Emma sandals, priced at €89,99, would pair perfectly with the Next dress, along with a Natural Jute Shoulder Bag for £42. The Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is available in sizes ranging from UK6 to UK26 in regular length and UK10 to UK20 in tall. If red isn't your colour, there's also a Navy Blue Floral alternative.

Boden's bestselling dress in seven colours is the perfect summer wardrobe piece
High street retailer Boden has the perfect linen summer dress that's available in seven different colours, and it's 25% off for a limited time only I don't know about you, but I struggle to dress stylishly when the weather is hot. Instead of fussing with different separates, I usually just throw on a cotton or linen dress to look effortlessly chic while staying cool and comfortable. Linen dresses, like Boden's Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress, which is currently 25% off in the sale, are worth their weight in gold. They not only look smart, making them perfect for both casual events and fancy occasions alike, they are also incredibly easy to wear without any compromise. The high street retailer's linen midi dress comes in eight stunning colours including navy, black and foxglove purple. For those who prefer to wear lighter shades when the sun is shining, it also comes in white and a trendy buttermilk yellow version. The Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress is priced at £136 but there is a way to get it much cheaper. Those who apply the little-known discount code, 7N7G, to their cart can bag 25% off, bringing the total down to £102, with free delivery included. The midi dress is made from a super soft linen that wicks away moisture and keeps you cool when it's warm out. The shoulder smocking gives way to puff sleeves and the tiered skirt with side pockets is the icing on the cake, reports the Manchester Evening News. The dress boasts a fully lined bodice for comfort and to avoid itchiness, designed to fall mid-calf. The fit and flare design is ideal for all body types, whether you're petite or tall, curvy or slender. The fitted bodice accentuates the upper body curves, cinching at the waist to create an hourglass illusion. Another great choice comes from Nobody's Child. Priced at £85, the Navy Flossie Midi Dress features a rounded neckline and short puff sleeves. It has a button front with a panelled waist designed to flatter your figure, along with a centre slit for easy movement. Meanwhile, River Island's Navy Metallic Puff Sleeve Smock Midi Dress has been reduced to just £25, down from £60. Boden's Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress has received rave reviews from shoppers, earning an overall star-rating of 4.6 out of five based on over 70 reviews. One happy shopper said: "I would buy this dress again. Perfect summer dress, the purple is a gorgeous colour." A second customer wrote: "Previously bought a similar style dress from Quince and the material was stiff and the fit boxy, so I was delighted to find this dress that fit true to size and made of material that conformed to my body. It's an easy outfit for mornings I am tired but want to feel put together at work. Also cute enough to wear out to happy hour at the end of the day. "Love this dress," another person said. " Very flattering, fits well across the bust and flares nicely in the skirt - not too much material. Lovely material - beautiful colour." One customer was somewhat disappointed with the Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress, giving it three stars and commenting: "The green isn't as vibrant in person as it is online. The fabric also seemed a little dull and the shape wasn't as flattering as I'd hoped." On the other hand, another customer was thrilled with their Boden purchase, saying: "This dress is a great staple piece to have in my wardrobe - simple, stylish, and easy to dress up or down. The fit is really flattering, especially with the tiered design that gives it a nice shape without feeling too structured. "The only downside is that it does wrinkle easily, as expected with linen, but that's part of the fabric's charm. Overall, a solid go-to for warmer days."
