Marks and Spencer shoppers have been raving about the brand’s new-in £40 green linen shirt dress that’s perfect for summer as they hail it for being ‘beautiful’ and ‘good quality’
There’s nothing better suited to summer than a linen dress, especially one that manages to check off all the other boxes on our trending fashion list. That’s why we can’t wait to get our hands on Marks and Spencer’s Linen Rich Midaxi Shirt Dress, £39.50 here, from the brand’s new-in section.
As well as its lightweight breezy linen material, the dress also nails one of this season’s most popular colours, green, and comes in a flattering midaxi length. Its shirt style also makes it super versatile and easy to wear, with shoppers praising it for being “Beautiful on” and “Good quality.”
The dress is made from 55% linen and 45% cotton, both of which are the perfect fabric for the upcoming warmer weather or for jetting off on holiday. They’re lightweight, airy and breathable, making sure you don’t get too hot or sweaty in even the most humid of conditions.
As well as being beautifully comfortable and breezy to wear, it’s cut in a flattering shirt dress style with a button up front fastening and collared neckline. Its short sleeves make sure you don’t overheat, and the tailored darts around the waist help create a flattering silhouette that accentuates your body shape.
The beauty of the M&S dress is its versatility, with its bold colour and relaxed fit making it a great choice for casual lunch dates, trips to the beach or popping on the school run. However the tailored details and shirt-style design also mean you can easily dress it up for an evening out or a wedding reception simply by pairing it with some strappy heels and some statement jewellery.
It might have only just landed on the M&S website but shoppers have already been singing its praises with one saying: “Fab dress beautiful on, true to size, please make more in different colours.”
Another wrote: “Good quality dress. A little long on me at 5’4 so I will have it shortened, but lovely dress otherwise”
If you prefer a different silhouette, Fat Face’s Julien Tie Back Linen Midi Dress has just been slashed in the brand’s sale, dropping it from £89 to £35 here. Rather than a shirt style, the dress has a loose, A-line design with a fitted bodice and loose, flowing tiered skirt.
It also features an open back with tie detail that lets you adjust the fit to what feels comfortable for you, and it even has handy side pockets – always a winner when it comes to dresses. It’s made from 100% linen so you know it’s going to be comfortable and breathable, making it the perfect packing pick.
Whether you’re heading abroad or just prepping for a sunny British summer, no wardrobe is complete without a linen dress or two!
