And everyone is wearing it right now

Summer is finally here and if you can’t handle the sweltering heat (if you get the tube like us, we fully sympathise), we’ve got just the pick-me-up for you in the form of the perfect little white dress.

Said LWD features off-the-shoulder straps, a flattering midi length and lace detailing.

It’s from Next and cost a relatively cheap £85, considering it looks totally designer.

It’s also available in tall, regular and petite, so it’s no surprise it’s been littering our Instagram feeds, because it can literally suit everyone.

Some fashion influencers have gone for the full white look, which is perfect for beach holidays, though we like how others have added pops of colour in with red statement earrings or shoes.

Blogger fave Rosie Fortescue wore hers recently on holiday with gingham heels and a slick of red lipstick. Perfect.

The good news is you won’t need to stress about it selling out quickly as there are plenty of sizes left online.
