This fit and flare John Lewis dress is destined to sell out this summer
Dressing up when the weather's hot can often be a headache. We want something flattering but not too fitted that we get overheated and sweaty, which is why we prefer reaching for dresses made from lightweight, breezy fabrics that are equal parts easy-to-wear and stylish. Thankfully, John Lewis has delivered on just that — meet the John Lewis Fit & Flare Dress that's gone straight to to the top of our shopping list.
John Lewis Fit & Flare Dress
Spot Print Shirred Dress, Natural/Multi
Aelia Bloom Maxi Dress
John Lewis Sleeveless Maxi Dress
Featuring an abstract print with shades of blue and black, this dress has all the hallmarks of the perfect wedding guest pick or dinner date option, and is sure to stand out in your wardrobe.
Costing £65, it has a super flattering shape with batwing sleeves, a loosely nipped-in waistline and asymmetric hem, and we don't see it hanging around for long...
This blue midaxi dress is lightweight, flowy and super comfortable for wearing all day, whether you're at a wedding or enjoying a day out.
Why we rate it
Designed with a classic fit and flare shape that flows out from the waistline, but isn't so structured that it feels restrictive, this dress couldn't be more versatile. Wear it with a pair of little black heels to match the piping on the sleeves and in the print as John Lewis has styled it, or tone it down with some white trainers and a jacket for something more suitable for everyday.
The cinched waist and loose sleeves add a feminine touch and the midaxi length means you can wear it all-year-round, no matter the weather — opt for knee high boots and a blazer during winter.
We're particularly big fans of the asymmetric hem that gives the design some edge and added dimension, elevating the overall look of the dress.
The print itself is also really chic, made up of abstract brush strokes of blue and black, while the fabric is super soft, breathable and long wearing thanks to a viscose blend.
Fully stocked and available in sizes eight to 20, this dress gets major points as far as occasionwear goes, and poses a style and print that won't ever go out of fashion.
Brand-new to John Lewis, there's currently no reviews on the dress, but we're convinced once shoppers catch wind of this stylish design, they'll start flooding in.
