Rochelle Humes wows in £32 top from Next that 'will never age'
The top was praised by shoppers who felt like an 'iconic movie star' when wearing the outfit Next shoppers say that a "flattering" top from Next gets them "lots of compliments" whenever they wear it. Modelled by TV star Rochelle Humes, the outfit was hailed by shoppers as something that "will never age". The former The Saturdays singer stood posed with her hands on her hips to showcase the Brown Glossy Satin Polka Dot Halter Top online. It costs £32 and shoppers could also continue the look with the matching Polka Dot Maxi Skirt that is £50 to create an effect of a full dress. The mum-of-three completed her look with some off-white heels and a touch of jewellery. The top, from the This Morning presenter's collection with the high street store, is made from a "soft satin fabric" and finished with a tie fastening. Similar styles are available elsewhere. New Look has a £9.99 Cream Polka Dot Slash Neck Top and Debenhams has this Polka Dot Print Halter Neck in black for £28.50, reduced from £38. There's an almost identical top for sale over on ASOS - the Tank Top in Brown Polka Dot costs £32 and is made from non-stretch denim. But, Rochelle's top at Next is a clear favourite amongst shoppers. In the reviews, one said: "Wore this to a family party [and got] lots of compliments. It's easy to wear [and] very flattering." Another wrote: "Lovely top, nice to have a different colour top to wear dressed up or casually." A third added that it was "Very pretty". Someone else put: "Exactly what I wanted!" Reviewing the skirt, a fifth shopper said: "The quality of the material is stunning. It hangs lovely and I love poka dots. A little bit expensive but it will never age." There was one person who said they felt like an iconic movie character, writing: "I felt like Pretty Woman. Amazing!" Another fan said: "Beautiful piece of clothing will wear for many years." And, there was one more review that claimed: "I got the top in store and couldn't resist the skirt to complete my 'Pretty Woman' look! Skirt comes up big (I think due to the elasticated waist?)" There are no negative reviews so far, other than one about the skirt, where a shopper claimed the material "creased so badly." The lack of criticism in the reviews section may be off-putting for some shoppers. Plus, the top and skirt are made from 100% recycled polyester, which may be another turn-off for some who prefer more organic material.

Next's 'beautiful' day-to-night dress hailed as 'perfect' for any occasion
Next customers have been raving about a versatile dress that's perfect for both a laid-back day look or an elegant evening ensemble. The retailer offers a plethora of choices, with a variety of colours, sizes, and patterns available. The Mini Sleeveless Racer Stretch Linen Blend Dress from the high-street favourite is a hit among fashionistas. Touted by Next as "perfect for holidays and sunny day outfits," this sleeveless number is crafted from a linen-blend material known for its lightness and breathability. Featuring a button and zip-up closure at the back, along with stitched detailing, it boasts a "flattering high neck shape". Available in five distinct designs, shoppers can pick from black shell print, blue gingham, or red and black geo print, each priced from €43.50 to €46. The dress is offered in sizes ranging from 6 to 24, including tall and petite options. The Cream and Black Polka Dot iteration (€46) tops the style charts, closely followed by the solid pink version at €43.50, reports the Mirror. In the review section for Next's Mini Sleeveless Racer Stretch Linen Blend Dress, one customer exclaimed: "Love this dress, lovely fit in tall. Suitable day or night for holidays." Another chimed in with praise, saying: "Love this dress, bit of stretch and comfy." A third remarked on the "flattering fit" while another chimed in: "You can either wear it in the daytime or dress it up for night out. Little stretch in the fabric which makes it really comfy too." Not all styles receive feedback, leaving potential buyers in the dark as some people prefer to read others' reviews before a purchase lands on their doorstep. Complaints did emerge, with one buyer stating the size of the dress they received was "ridiculously small" and another claiming their €46 investment "wasn't even finished off properly". Nonetheless, dress buyers largely express satisfaction. One stated: "Beautiful spring/summer dress. Lovely material and fits perfectly. [It's my] favourite dress in the wardrobe." For those eyeing the bold pink version, another buyer extolled its virtues, saying: "Dress is lovely, cool and bright. It's the perfect fit for me. I get so many compliments when I wear it." Finally, an additional happy customer shared: "Lovely little dress that looks great on and I love the colour. Originally, I got the spotted one, and I liked it so much that I purchased this pink one too."

'It's my favourite' - Next shoppers love store's £36 linen number
The dress is proving a hit with shoppers for its style that 'doesn't compromise on comfort' Next shoppers have been getting so many compliments on a dress they say works for a casual daytime or classy nighttime look. There are plenty of style options to choose from, including various colours, sizes and patterns. The high-street retailer's Mini Sleeveless Racer Stretch Linen Blend Dress is proving popular with shoppers. Described by the Next team as "perfect for holidays and sunny day outfits," the sleeveless dress is made with a linen-blend fabric that is said to be "light and breathable." It has a button and zip-up fastening to the back, and with stitched detailing, finished with a "flattering high neck shape". It comes in five different styles, including a black shell print, blue gingham or red and black geo print (all £36). The dress comes in sizes 6 to 24, and tall and petite fits. The top-rated style was the Cream and Black Polka Dot version (£36) of the mini dress, followed by the solid pink option (£34). Shoppers wanting to enhance their holiday options could find similar items at other stores, too. For example, New Look has a major 70% discount on its Apricot Pink Pleated Linen-Look Knee Length Dress, while Matalan is selling this £26.60 Gini London White Linen Button Through Mini shirt Dress, down from £38. In the review section of Next's Mini Sleeveless Racer Stretch Linen Blend Dress, one shopper said: "Love this dress, lovely fit in tall. Suitable day or night for holidays." Another added: "Love this dress, bit of stretch and comfy." A third wrote that it had a "flattering fit". Another said: "You can either wear it in the daytime or dress it up for night out. Little stretch in the fabric which makes it really comfy too." Some styles have no reviews at all, which is not ideal if people like to check what others thought of an item once it arrived. A few did raise issues, though, such as one shopper who thought their dress arrived "ridiculously small" or another who claimed their £34 buy was "wasn't even finished off properly". However, the feedback from dress shoppers was largely positive. Someone else posted: "Beautiful spring/summer dress. Lovely material and fits perfectly. [It's my] favourite dress in the wardrobe." From the bold pink verison, a fifth put in their review: "Dress is lovely, cool and bright. It's the perfect fit for me. I get so many compliments when I wear it." And, another added: "Lovely little dress that looks great on and I love the colour. Originally, I got the spotted one, and I liked it so much that I purchased this pink one too."

The Top Of The Summer Is From Zara - I've Already Planned 15 Outfits Around It
I'll be honest - my style leans firmly towards the androgynous, so when polka dots staged their comeback, I greeted the news with a mildly arched brow. But then, as if by divine intervention, London's reigning cool girl Olivia Dean stepped out in a now-sold-out Susamusa polka dot skirt, styled to perfection with Manolo Blahnik slingbacks and a grey top. Suddenly, spots didn't seem so saccharine after all. Fast forward a few months, polka dot skirts and polka dot dresses are flying off shelves - but the trend's latest evolution? Polka dot tops. And yes, I've found the one, courtesy of Zara. Polka dots seem to have shrugged off any twee connotations in favour of designs that look far more grown-up, and Zara's Polka Dot Strapless Top makes a compelling case for the trend, with its flattering sweetheart neckline and bandeau style top. It's versatile too, designed as a top, but with enough length to double as a mini dress for us petite girls - a detail that means it will surely earn its keep in your wardrobe. 1. Polka Dot Strapless Top Zara's Polka Dot Strapless Top is probably the only item on the high street that's convincing me I need to buy into the polka dot trend. It features a sweetheart bandeau neckline that's perfect for styling with a chunky cord necklace, as well as a side zip fastening and A-line silhouette. Its monochrome colourway makes it perfect for pairing with just about anything in your wardrobe - from slouchy denim to pops of colour. Worn as a top, Zara's polka dot offering can be styled with high-waisted jeans or wide leg trousers for an outfit that looks like it could've been plucked straight from 2010. Worn as a dress, pair with kitten heels, a bright bag and oversized sunglasses. What began as a return via skirts and dresses, the polka dot trend is only gaining momentum. Zara's flowy bandeau iteration perhaps signals where the trend is heading next - a departure from the type of polka dot pieces associated with the 80s or old Hollywood glamour, to items that feel decidedly less nostalgic. 2. ZW Collection Strapless Polka Dot Dress If you like the style of the shorter Zara top, the brand also does a midi dress in a reverse colourway. Similar to the Nobody's Child style that sold out almost instantly, Zara's iteration features a bandeau neckline, slit at the bottom and is made of a cool linen-blend yarn. 3. Polka Dot Bandeau Top Zara also has another Polka Dot Bandeau Top, this time with a straight neckline that leaves your shoulders bare (perfect for again pairing with a statement necklace). With details like gathering at the sides and a concealed zip, style with wide leg linen trousers and chunky sandals. 4. ZW Collection Polka Dot Midi Skirt If you're on the hunt for a polka dot skirt with an interesting shape, Zara has the perfect style from its ZW Collection range. The midi skirt has an elasticated waistband and is finished with voluminous pleats - it's very Lady Diana-esque. 5. Polka Dot Linen Midi Dress A likely best-seller for the brand, the polka dot midi is a versatile brown that looks best when paired with tan accessories (like a pair of flip flops or straw bag). Made from linen, it's also sure to keep you cool in warmer weather or on holiday, too. 6. ZW Collection Polka Dot Wide-Leg Trousers If you prefer a pair of fail-safe trousers, even in summer, you can still dabble your toe in the polka dot trend with this pair of wide leg trousers. Smart enough to pair with a crisp white shirt and loafers to head into the office, yet casual enough to wear with a white t-shirt and flip flops, these trousers might just be what your warm weather wardrobe is missing. 7. Polka Dot Satin-Effect Slingback High Heels For a full polka-dot look, pair any spotted piece with these slingback heels. Alternatively, wear the heels with any evening dress for a pop of print. 8. Fine Knit Polka Dot Cardigan For those days where the Mediterranean breeze is slightly stronger, throw this polka knit cardigan over your shoulders to keep you warm. Or, style over the top of jeans and a white t-shirt, or with a satin midi skirt and ballet flats. 9. Shirt With Polka Dot Bows If you're wanting to inject polka dot into your workwear wardrobe too, Zara is prepped and ready to help. This blouse is a real standout, with its semi-sheer fabric (of course, to make it more office-appropriate wear a tank top underneath), long sleeves and bows at the front. 10. ZW Collection Polka Dot Halter Top It's creeping towards linen trouser season and if you're looking for a top to accompany, this one from ZW Collection is floaty and feminine. The kind of top you've seen Sienna Miller in, it features a halter neckline and adjustable tie fastening.
