This £29.50 M&S linen dress is a must-have for your summer holiday
Although we might be in the midst of seemingly endless April showers, we've decided it's only right we start hunting for some new items to add to our spring and summer wardrobe in an attempt to manifest warmer weather.
But as we've been scrolling through new collections from a range of high street stores, one thing we've been surprised to see is the number of pieces that have already sold out. Which brings us onto a current M&S best-seller we don't want you to miss out on.
One of our favourite Marks & Spencer pieces we've spotted so far this week is this Linen Rich Knee Length Shift Dress. Perfect for balmy summer holiday evenings with a cocktail in hand or with a blazer for the office, this super versatile number is already racking up five-star reviews and it's easy to see why.
Simple, lightweight and super comfortable (no matter how much you eat at the hotel buffet) it's no surprise this affordable dress has been a hit. For just £29.50 and made from a breezy linen-rich fabric, it's definitely going to be our hot weather go-to.
It's lightweight, versatile and won't break the bank. Get it ready for your summer holidays before it inevitably sells out.
Why we rate it
Firstly, you can't go wrong with a simple shift dress. If you like a looser fit, wear it as is, but if you prefer to highlight an hourglass shape, simply add a belt around your waist.
Throw it over your swimwear for a trip to the beach with flip flops, or dress it up for dinner with sandals and a clutch bag.
Made from breathable linen fabric, it's perfect for keeping you cool in sunny temperatures but also won't cling to you when a beach walk turns out sweatier than planned (we've all been there).
