Boden's ‘hardworking' linen dress that ‘will never date' is a summer essential
With warm weather here to stay, it's the perfect chance to invest in some summer wardrobe staples and Boden's 'hardworking' linen dress ticks all the boxes Lighter evenings, constant 20-degree and above days, and blue skies are proof that a (well-deserved) sunny summer is well on the way. And a stylish, lightweight linen dress is a wardrobe essential, in our opinion. We think we've just found the perfect summer dress that can be worn with everything and to everything from Boden. The Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress is on the pricier side at £136. However, Boden is currently offering 15% full-price styles with the code PQ4D, bringing the price down to £115.60, more than £20 off the original price. The dress is made from soft linen and features a shoulder smocking detail to give the sleeves a stylish puff design. And the best part? The tiered skirt features side pockets, so you can forgo your bag (if you want) and go hands-free by popping your essentials like your phone, card holder and keys into the pockets. There are also eight different colours to choose from, with petite, regular and long sizing also available. Shoppers have been singing its praises, claiming that the timeless style will never go out of fashion, and also raving about the high-quality material and fit. One happy customer wrote: "Beautiful feminine dress. I find my 18L true to size. This is a "hard working " intelligent dress for everything that never dates. Fabulous Boden quality as well as design." A second added: "This dress is going to be so useful as it is suitable for smart casual occasions, weekends and holidays. I'm a size 10 and 5'3" and the size 10 regular was the right midi length for me. The waist is a little high, but then that helps to disguise a not perfectly flat stomach, and the elastic at the back keeps things comfortable and means that there is no need for a zip. The linen feels good quality and I am very happy this dress has pockets." The main downside was down to the necklines low cut, making this unsuitable if you're more of a modest dresser or want to avoid having your chest out. If that is too much of a problem for you, shoppers have also been loving New Look's Linen-Look Shirred Waist Midi Shirt Dress, retailing at £33.99 and perfect for summer office dressing. Alternatively, we spotted a blouse from Finery's new summer collection that's the perfect combination of stylish and practical. The Adalia White Cotton Blouse is piced at a wallet-friendly £39, and is the ideal summer top for office days, weekend brunches with the girls, and everything in between.

Skims straight-leg trousers that 'feel like butter' reduced to £36 in flash sale
Previously priced at £72 and available in multiple colours, these SKIMS cotton trousers are soft, flattering and perfectly cooling for the warmer weather It's a very good day when SKIMS has a sale, and it's even better when you find a best-selling product still in stock in plenty of sizes for a fraction of its usual RRP. This morning, we've spotted SKIMS' top-rated Cotton Jersey Straight Leg Pants on sale via the brand's UK website for £36 instead of £72– that's a big 50% saving. The biggest discount is in the Barely Pink and Dusk colourways, with the gorgeous ballerina-like Barely Pink still in stock in all sizes. If you want to shop the classic black (Soot) shade, that's also still in stock, but the cost for that shade is £50– still a big saving of £22. So why do we love them? The SKIMS Cotton Jersey Straight Leg Pant is made from the brand's signature cotton jersey fabric– a breathable, lightweight cotton blend with plenty of stretch and softness. This special material offers a soft yet still structured feel, making sure you feel comfy without compromising on shape. The straight-leg silhouette gives a clean, relaxed fit that sits naturally on the hips, with a gentle drape through the leg. An elasticated waistband with an added drawcord adds to the adjustability, while subtle tonal stitching keeps the design minimal and versatile. Available in a range of colours, including Barely Pink, Dusk, Light Heather Grey and Soot, these trousers can easily be styled up or down to suit any occasion– be it running errands or paired with a blazer for a business-meets-casual work look. The sizing is also, in SKIMS fashion, inclusive, ranging from XXS to 4X, catering to a diverse array of body types. But don't just take our word for it, shoppers also say they can't get enough of the trousers. One buyer writes: "These are even more comfortable than I expected and the fit is perfect. Now I need them in every colour." "These pants are ridiculously soft and breathable. If you're looking for some loungewear, that doesn't suffocate you or make you feel hot. These are perfect," adds another, while a third chimes in with: "Very nice material hugs my curves best lounge pants I've ever owned, hands down. I need these in all colours.: Others call them "butter-soft" and their "favourite ever pair of trousers", however, another reviewer had a slightly different take, writing: "Super soft and comfortable but very very long definitely size down." Elsewhere, our shopping writer Grace believes she's found the 'perfect' summer blouse she'll be wearing on repeat. She says: "Our fashion team recently got a first look at Finery's latest summer drop, and it's full of everything we want to wear this season. Think easy linen, laid-back denim, soft neutrals, and elevated everyday staples, all with a focus on wearability and timeless style. "One item caught my eye in particular, thanks to its high-quality, chic look and breathable summer fabric. If you've been looking for a blouse that feels polished but still lets you breathe, enter the Adalia White Cotton Blouse; a crisp white top that's the perfect combination of stylish and practical."

'I found the perfect sweatproof summer blouse and I'll be wearing it on repeat'
Finery's latest summer collection is filled with gorgeous wardrobe staples, including the perfect summer blouse that's breezy, sweatproof and goes with everything With the weather finally warming up, summer dressing is back on our minds, and that also means fresh new collections are starting to drop on the high street. Our fashion team recently got a first look at Finery's latest summer drop, and it's full of everything we want to wear this season. Think easy linen, laid-back denim, soft neutrals, and elevated everyday staples, all with a focus on wearability and timeless style. One item caught my eye in particular, thanks to its high-quality, chic look and breathable summer fabric. If you've been looking for a blouse that feels polished but still lets you breathe, enter the Adalia White Cotton Blouse; a crisp white top that's the perfect combination of stylish and practical. Priced at a wallet-friendly £39, this is the perfect summer top for office days, weekend brunches with the girls, and everything in between. The pintuck detailing and ruffle neckline give it that luxe, boho feel that reminds me of designer brands like Isabel Marant and Chloé, while the airy puff sleeves are right on trend for the new season. A few other similar styles we've been loving include New Look's White Floral Embroidered Lace Trim Short Sleeve Blouse, currently 25% off priced at £19.49, and ME + EM's Cheesecloth Blouse, priced at £75. The huge bonus of Finery's blouse is that the material is 100% cotton, making it the perfect piece for warm summer days. Cotton has always been considered an excellent fabric choice for the summer months, thanks to its natural fibres, which allow air to circulate and absorb moisture. This means you can keep cool and dry on warmer days, and most importantly, avoid any dreaded sweat patches. A true lifesaver on days you're commuting into the office. Whether styling it with tailored trousers for work or denim shorts on the weekend, this button-up is about to be on serious repeat for me. Alongside Finery's new season drop, we also got a first look at Next's spring/summer collection, filled with some amazing holiday must-haves.
