Boden's 'perfect' summer dress shoppers say 'looks flattering on everyone'
When it comes to looking effortlessly chic during the warmer months, nothing beats a 'throw-on-and-go' frock that instantly looks elegant. These versatile pieces are wonderfully versatile, and fashion lovers have discovered the perfect option at Boden.
Customers are going wild for the Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress, and it's easy to understand the hype. Praised as offering the 'perfect fit', this 100% cotton number features a gorgeous fit-and-flare silhouette complete with handy pockets.
The Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress in white or green normally retails for £98, but savvy shoppers can snap it up for £68.60. The jam red version has been reduced to £68.80, whilst the vibrant blue style is marked down even further to £58.80.
This versatile piece comes in sizes four to 22 across petite, regular and long lengths, with most sizes still available online. The Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress has won over buyers, earning an impressive 4.5 out of five stars from more than 50 customer reviews, reports the Manchester Evening News.
One delighted shopper said: "Love this dress - have it in three colours. Material is so nice and looks very flattering on. Bonus that it has pockets too." Another purchaser agreed, saying: "So good I have it in three colours."
The gentle fabric and flowing tiered skirt help keep you cool, whilst the contrasting waistband creates a gorgeous silhouette and defines the waist beautifully. The frock features a lined bodice for a smoother, more comfortable wear.
Other reviewers have reported receiving compliments from strangers while wearing the dress. One said: "Love this dress. Great fit and colour (blue).
"I've even had a stranger in the street stop to compliment me. Sits beautifully by skimming curves but shaping at the waistline without pinching. Love the sleeve length too. Just the right coverage for my top of arms."
But another found it 'ill-fitting', explaining: "It's too big and low at the bust and far too long." Another shopper agreed and returned the dress. They said: "Unfortunately around the bust area there was too much material and it sat away from my body gaping and exposing my bra."
Shoppers hunting for summery white dresses are in for a treat with New Look's White Crinkled Frilly Trim Midi Dress at £14 (was £24.99). This 100 per cent cotton number is airy with a loose fit and Bohemian ruffles. Next stocks a pricier 100% linen midi dress at £65, featuring stylish shirred elasticated details.
For something slightly more glamorous, River Island delivers with a bow-detailed White Sleeveless Bow Detail Corset Dress for £46 in black or pink. Fashion lovers have gushed about the Boden Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress with one noting: "True to size - beautiful colour. Great item that can be dressed up or down."
Whilst another review read: "Love it. Very flattering, perfect fit and length. It's quite heavy with the double cloth but excellent quality. I'm sure I will wear it a lot."

Suede jacket that ‘goes with so many outfits' is perfect for transitional autumn outfits
If there's one piece to invest in this autumn, it's a great suede jacket, and this £50 pick from New Look 'goes with so many outfits' and is great for transitioning into a new season Whilst there's still (hopefully) plenty more summer weather yet to come, there's no time like the present to start prepping your wardrobe for that inevitable transition to autumn. And whilst it might not quite be time to start pulling out your chunky knitwear and winter coats, a lightweight suede jacket is just the thing you need. Easy to wear during the summer months over a vest and shorts for those breezier days, it's also set to be the must-have staple for autumn, especially when paired with some jeans and boots. If you're looking for a does-it-all option to add to your transitional wardrobe, New Look's Tan Faux Suede Button Up Jacket is a great choice. Affordably priced at £49.99, it won't blow your budget, and has the kind of easy, laid back design that can be worn anywhere whilst still looking expensive and chic. The New Look Faux Suede Jacket is like the perfect hybrid between a suede jacket and a blazer; it has the softness and comfort of a blazer, whilst still keeping that endlessly cool, put-together look of a great suede jacket. Front slit pockets and buttons down the front add some designer-esque details, whilst its soft faux-suede material keeps it both smart and comfortable. It has a boxy fit, with a classic collared lapel and subtle stitching details for that oversized 'just threw it on' feel. You can pick it up in two colours, with the light stone colour now on sale down to £30. However the tan shade is perfect for bringing some warmth and richness to your autumn outfits, and will easily pair with just about anything. One thing shoppers have been praising the Faux Suede Jacket for is how versatile it is, with one reviewer saying: 'Love this light weight versatile jacket. Just the right shade of tan and goes with so many outfits. Dress it up with a navy and tan dress or wide leg jeans. Fabulous and on trend.' Another agreed: 'Great jacket, lovely fit and looks more expensive than it is. Looks good with everything.' Some shoppers weren't quite as taken with the fit, with one saying: 'Fabric a bit disappointing' whilst another added: 'I so desperately wanted to like this but it was boxy and shapeless.' However others were delighted with the Faux Suede Jacket, writing: 'Really nice suede like jacket. Fits well and looks expensive.' Another shopper chimed in: 'I love this jacket, well made for the price, dress it up or down, comes up slightly large, creases come out easily with a bit of steam, easily my favourite jacket at the moment.' If you do want something with a little more weight to it, the Cotton On Drew Faux Suede Jacket In Brown is £65 at ASOS and has more of a biker-style fit, with zip details and side pockets. For those who would rather splash out on the real deal, Massimo Dutti's Suede Leather Jacket With Lined Buttons has a similar look to the New Look one, and can be picked up for £299. Alternatively, over at Debenhams you can nab the Buffalo Suede Car Coat from Barneys comes in a beautiful chocolate brown colour and is currently on sale. Usually priced at £270, it now has 50% off, slashing the price down to £135 with sizes 8 to 18 still in stock.

Alex Jones' 'comfy and flattering' Boden trousers are 'selling like hot cakes'
The One Show's Alex Jones shows how to style a yellow-gold pair of Boden trousers for summer Alex Jones has once again found the perfect in-between of comfort and style with her latest on-screen look– and it's already causing a stir among fans. Stepping out on The One Show, the presenter opted for a bold but surprisingly wearable pair of sunshine-yellow trousers from Boden, and viewers must have been quick to note them because Boden says they're "selling like hot cakes" The Primrose Patch Pocket Trousers in the shade Golden Rye, £90, have been dubbed 'comfy and flattering' by shoppers, who are keen to pick them up in multiple colourways. It's easy to see why. With their relaxed, straight-leg silhouette and structured patch pockets, the trousers are both laid-back and smart. The high waist gives shape, while the breathable cotton blend makes them ideal for warm weather. Alex paired them with a cropped, dark-wash denim jacket that brings a clever balance to the bold hue. Her jacket is believed to be a past-season Mango buy, but the new season version, complete with boxy cut and silver buttons, is almost identical and still in stock for £49.99 in plenty of sizes. While sunshine shades can sometimes be intimidating, Alex shows how a strong colour choice can anchor an otherwise simple outfit. Her choice to keep the rest of the look pared-back (minimal accessories and fresh make-up) is what makes the trousers pop rather than overwhelm. We do love how she added a bit more flair to the outfit by accessorizing with a killer pair of leopard print heels – the perfect print to flatter the golden yellow shade of the trousers. With a price tag of £90 and sizes selling fast, it's clear that Alex's influence extends well beyond the TV sofa. Plus, if you act fast, you can get 15% off the trousers by using the discount code W7CX, which works on new styles on Boden's website. That brings Alex's buy down to a slightly more reasonable £76.50. Elsewhere in outfit news from our favourite presenters, Rochelle Humes stepped out on Wednesday morning's This Morning show wearing a khaki peplum top with a suede midi skirt and some brown open-toe mules. A neutral colour palette has become a staple of Rochelle's signature look, and her latest outfit was no exception. We've hunted down her top as the Khaki Sleeveless Tie Back Corset Top from high-street favourite River Island. It also comes in brown and white, both of which would effortlessly slot into Rochelle's wardrobe.
