As the spring sunshine makes its welcome return, Next customers are eagerly updating their summer holiday wardrobes, with one particular dress becoming a hot favourite. The high street fashion giant, renowned for its wide selection of trendy items for every season, from its cosy knitwear to charming gingham dresses for spring, has seen a surge in demand for its Jersey Waisted Summer Dress.

Available in navy, olive green, and cream, this sought-after piece features a regular fit and is crafted from a soft, breathable fabric that promises comfort. It boasts a chic square neckline and waist detailing that offers a flattering silhouette. What’s really got shoppers talking, though, is the inclusion of pockets, a detail that’s been highly commended in customer reviews.

Styled on the model with a pair of adorable £27 sandals from Next, the dress exudes effortless style. The Next website describes the garment as: “Ideal for summer, from beachside cocktails to picnics in the park, this versatile and timeless navy blue dress is made from a soft fabric with a flattering square neckline, detailing to the waist and side pockets. Dress up with sandals and heels or down with your favourite trainers.”

Online fans have given the dress an impressive 4/5 rating, celebrating the ‘light’ and ‘stretchy’ material that’s perfect for balmy days. Shoppers also note that the dress drapes beautifully, reports the Liverpool Echo.

A particularly enthusiastic review states: “Great dress for summer. (Just need the sun to actually appear) I am 5″3 and the length is just right, for me it’s just above the ankles. “One satisfied customer gushed: “Beautiful dress. Hangs very well. Had lots of comments when wearing. Will be a great summer piece.”

Another pleased buyer commented: “Lovely dress, material is light and stretchy looks great on and the length is perfect. I liked this dress so much I brought the cream one too and took both on holiday and wore them both. “A delighted fan shared: “Such a lovely dress = really comfortable, soft cool material and has pockets = Thank you Next!”.

Despite the praise, not everyone was thrilled, as one shopper labelled the dress ‘frumpy’. Shoppers can purchase the dress for £38 here. Alternatively, New Look is selling this Blue Checked Corset Bodice Midi Dress for £33.99 available in three different pretty colours.
