A shift dress is a summer wardrobe staple, particularly if it's made from linen. It's comfortable, airy, and stylish, and can be dressed up with heels or kept casual with trainers or sandals. Next has been praised by shoppers for its Cream Mono Placement Floral Linen Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress , which is perfect for holidays.
It's ideal for slipping over a swimsuit to go from beach to bar, or dressing up for a dinner date. The lightweight mini dress is priced at £34 is made from a cool linen blend and comes in a variety of designs. Our favourite is the cream and watercolour brown floral print.
With a chic scoop neck, convenient side pockets, and a fashionable split side hem, the dress has been described as 'perfect for everyday wear', reports the Mirror . Not only is it fashionable, but also washes easily and comes in both petite and regular lengths. Other colours and patterns are available too , including a vibrant floral print with blues, pinks, oranges that rivals Romans' Red Tropical Border Tie Detail Shift Dress , priced at £38, reports Nottinghamshire Live .
For an all-over cream alternative, Nobody's Child's Cream Palermo Mini Shift Dress is currently on sale for £49. Shoppers have praised the Next dress . One shopper said: "Material is soft and comfy to wear on holiday, perfect fit.
Bought all designs in same dress. Good value for money as they look more expensive." Another added: "Love it.
Classy but casual at the same time. Easy to dress up or down." And a third said: "It's a really striking attractive design.
It looks so nice on. It is such a change from small flowery prints." Although not everyone was quite as impressed with some shoppers were a smidge disappointed that the dress was unlined, making it somewhat transparent.
One person said: "The dress is a little see through, had planned to wear at a party and dress it up but as it's see through I won't, but good for daytime on holiday." The Next mini dress has gained a 4.5-star rating out of five, suggesting it's still a top pick for your summer wardrobe.
