Mirror’s fashion team got a first look at Next’s new spring/summer collection, and these are the pieces they think are going to sell out starting from £20
The weather seems to finally be picking back up, and summer is almost in sight. And what does that mean? It’s time for brands to start dropping their new collections, and we can’t wait.
Yesterday, our fashion team managed to get a sneak peek at Next’s new spring/summer range, and let’s just say it does not disappoint. Packed full of fashion-forward pieces, trusty basics and the most important part, actually affordable items that are high quality, Next has really levelled their style game up this year.
The summer range features a few key themes, as well as some stadnout pieces. From classic summer fabrics to trendy buttermilk yellow and maximalist jewellery, we’ve selected a few of our top picks and the style buys we reckon are going to sell out pretty fast.

CROCHET CRAZE
Crochet cover-up shirt, available for £32 here
Crochet is a summer staple, and this oversized red and cream shirt caught our eye as the perfect beach cover-up. Layer over a bikini for a cool-girl summer look, and easily transition from beach to bar by slipping on a pair of denim Bermuda shorts or floaty linen trousers
TUTTI FRUITI
Red Sequin Fruit Shoulder Bag, available for £55 here
And Yellow Sequin Fruit Shoulder Bag, available for £55 here
Beaded fruit bags are easily one of the biggest trends of the summer, and Next’s offerings are some of the highest quality, for the most affordable prices we’ve seen. £55 is pricier for a novelty handbag, but when compared to Staud and Anthropologie’s options, this price is much more wallet-friendly. And the perfect way to add a pop of fun to your summer outfits.
EASILY SUEDE
Tan Brown Suede Signature Premium Footbed Toe Loop Sandals, available for £69 here
Suede has been a huge trend, and although it’s typically a more wintery fabric, we love how Next has taken it into the summer with these chunky sandals. I’ve been loving the boho revival we’ve been having over the past few months, and think these shoes fit perfectly into that style.
LUXE LINEN
Navy 100% Linen Shell Top, available for £30 here
And Navy 100% Linen Bermuda Shorts, available for £38 here
Made from 100% pure linen, this top and shorts co-ord doesn’t compromise style for practicality. Thanks to the breathable fabric, it’s cool and breezy for the summer, but it’s also right on trend with its Bermuda shorts and navy hue.
BUTTER ME UP
Buttermilk Yellow Bandeau Jersey Woven Mix Midi Dress, available for £36 here
A summer midi dress is a wardrobe essential in the warmer months, and this butter yellow dress really ticks all the boxes. With it’s trendy drop waist, comfortable jersey bandeau and flattering fit, this is such an easy to style piece. Not to mention that it’s in the colour of the season and under £40!
SEAS THE DAY
Gold Tone Shell Yellow Beaded Necklace, available for £20 here
And Gold Tone Shell Charm Necklace, £22 here
Shells, fish, lobsters and more sea-themed creatures are taking over jewellery this year. Forget minimalist and dainty, it’s officially the season of more is more, and Next has not disappointed with its selection. From layered charm necklaces to chunky gold shells and fishy earrings, elevate your outfits this summer with some bold jewellery.
If you’re on the lookout for more spring buys, our head of shopping Zoe visited the Nobody’s Child store this week and found a few hidden gems that are worth every penny. A standout piece was the black linen-blend Lotte tie-waist mini dress, £69.
