If you’re staring at your wardrobe, desperate to conjure a heatwave outfit that is chic and concluding that such an outfit doesn’t exist, then we have the answer. Or rather, Rochelle Humes has the answer.
The singer, who’s 29 weeks pregnant, posted a photo this morning of a breezy maxi dress that ticks the ‘chic’, ‘comfortable’ and ‘sweat-disguising’ boxes really rather nicely. The best news? It’s from ASOS - and yes it’s still available.
The dress has sweet plisse pleats, a cheerful blossom print and a frilly collar that taps into the prairie dress trend without tipping into Anne Shirley territory.
A maxi dress is your best bet for the next few days of scorching weather, providing it doesn’t cling to but rather wafts around your body. Just ask Rochelle, who’s worn a puff-sleeved number (Free People) and a tie-waist shirt dress (Reserved), both of which sweep to that sweet spot between the mid-calf and ankle, in the last two weeks alone.
Arket’s tiered floral maxi dress provides proper coverage for easily-burnt areas and comes in the prettiest light pink, while COS’s short-sleeved linen kaftan can double as a beach cover-up if you’re heading somewhere sandy this summer. Keep scrolling for other brilliant maxis (SPF, not included) for under £35.
