The weather may be starting to warm up, but with unpredictable conditions a common occurence in the UK, it’s a smart idea to stock your wardrobe with versatile pieces that will work in all seasons.
John Lewis shoppers have found a ‘comfortable, practical and beautiful’ dress that is proving an ideal ‘throw-on’ option when you don’t know what to wear. The £48 long sleeved midi dress comes in sizes six to 20 and is adorned with a pretty leaf print.
It can be styled with all kinds of accessories, from sandals to pumps, and while the long sleeves should keep a chill out on breezier days, it wouldn’t look out of place worn with a jacket.
The v-neckline is a flattering option and the John Lewis Solare Print Midi Dress even comes with deep pockets, so you can quickly pop it on without wearing a bag and still carry some everday essentials on you.
Coming in at under £50, it could be a new staple wear in your wardrobe as it can be worn in the UK or taken on holiday. The gorgeous print would look lovely on the beach, at barbecues, or for pottering around the house.
John Lewis customers are very impressed with the Solare Print Midi Dress, taking to the reviews section on the website to share their thoughts. One person said: “Lovely dress. Hangs beautifully, pockets and flattering v-neck.”
A second wrote: “Kind of the perfect spring dress – a loose, flowing lightweight fabric with a beautiful leaf print. No fastenings, just pull-on, has pockets, perfect length, nice wide skirt, long sleeves for those days when it isn’t really all that warm, but can be pulled up when it is.”
However, it wasn’t suited to everyone and someone else explained, “the only reason i didn’t buy was it felt a bit hot as it’s not cotton.” Elsewhere on John Lewis, they have a number of chic cotton dresses if that is your preference, including this Saint Tropez Floral Midi Dress which has been reduced from £79.99 to £48.
Marks and Spencer have also launched their summer dress collection and it is proving popular with stylish shoppers. The Ditsy Floral Midaxi Tea Dress is £39.50 has been rated 4.5 out of five stars by over 80 customers.
