Next shoppers can keep ‘cool and chic’ this summer without breaking the bank, thanks to a selection of ‘flattering’ summer dresses on offer. Fans of the brand have praised one particular outfit that won’t set customers back more than £30 – perfect for both casual and ‘dressy’ events.

rns and prints, with most starting at £28 and some designs priced between £30 and £35.

According to Next’s online experts, the mini-length dress boasts a “versatile design” that’s just as suitable for a sophisticated formal event as it is for laid-back daily wear. Linen, a favoured fabric for summer attire, is known for its natural cooling properties.
Linen’s inherent breathability and moisture-wicking qualities help draw perspiration away from the skin to the fabric’s surface. For those on the hunt for similar linen dresses this summer, there are plenty of deals to be found elsewhere, reports MyLondon.
Debenhams is offering a range of options, including the Linen Print Dress with Pockets by SOLO, now down from £60 to just £29.99. Alternatively, you could order the £40 Linen Blend Camisole Dress by UNIQLO or treat yourself to the Pink Linen Blend Puff Sleeve Midi Dress from New Look for £49.99.
Next shoppers, however, have been raving about the V-Neck Ruffle Sleeve Mini Dress, with many taking it abroad as their go-to piece for looking fashionable in the summer heat. One shopper said: “Beautiful dress with a lovely fit.”
Another shared: “I wore this all holiday. It is so comfortable and cool.” A third added: “Perfect dress for the summer. Pretty good value for the price too.” Someone else wrote: “Beautiful fit and material. I’ve had so many compliments and [people have] asked where I purchased it.”
A fifth added: “Absolutely beautiful design. It looks designer and fits absolutely perfectly. I get so many compliments.” Another reviewer posted: “This dress is ideal for both daytime and evening. Its fit is simple yet flattering. I bought it in black and white – and both colours looked fantastic under the Caribbean sun.”
And, a final happy shopper had so much love for the dress that they said: “I’m definitely ordering more colours!” Linen fabric is short and cool, making it a perfect addition to any sunny holiday wardrobe.
Shoppers have voiced their concerns over a common issue about the fit of a dress, with one customer claiming: “Too big. Returned for a smaller size as [the] dress is far more loose fitting than some of the other linen dresses I have purchased from Next.”
Another shopper added: “I found my normal size slightly big around the arms, but not enough to send it back.” Meanwhile, a third wrote: “I should have read previous reviews. It’s a little big. But, in the summer months or on holiday, a floaty dress will be cooling.”
