Uniqlo has churned out a seemingly endless lineup of viral hits over the past few years – from the crossbody mini bags that took over TikTok to that cotton skirt that's now become a common sighting all over London. All of this to say, singing the praises of the brand’s quality, affordable basics has become something of a pastime for us. So, when the retailer released its latest drop of warm weather-ready pieces, we weren't surprised to spring's next sell-out among them: enter: the linen-blend mini dress.
Despite having just been restocked for spring, the mini dress is practically unavoidable on the internet at the moment. Cut for a simple straight fit with a neat crew neck, the shift dress lightly skims across the body and hits mid-thigh for a playful length that still offers coverage. The dress' linen-blend construction also makes it a great lightweight essential that's not as prone to creasing as pure linen. The best feature of the seemingly simple dress, however, is that it features pockets that are roomy enough to hold your essentials, without spoiling the sleek silhouette.

The perfect easy, breezy dress for warmer days, the mini length means the dress is ideal for petites as well as regular body types. The slightly flared skirt is also incredibly flattering across sizes (including my size 18 self) and can be easily dressed up or down.
As with most clothing worth adding to your wardrobe this spring, the dress' most popular iteration comes in a delicious butter yellow hue, but it's also available in three other shades including black, green, and a bright cherry red. Relaxed but not slouchy, the dress is firmly in the wear-every-day domain thanks to its endless styling potential. Style with chunky trainers (we're still obsessed with Sienna Miller's colourful M&S trainers) and a denim jacket for unmistakably cool off-duty flavour or with ballet flats and a lightweight jacket for a delicate weekend look. Alternatively, you could wear the dress with a chic linen blazer and kitten heels to go from the office to post-work drinks with ease.
Working as well beneath a spring jacket as it does solo, Uniqlo's linen-blend mini dress has the ease of summer dressing but also the elegant confidence of a tailored basic. Much like Uniqlo's other viral hits, the mini offers excellent quality and a brilliant fit for a modest £34 price tag. Shop the influencer favourite spring staple now, before it inevitably sells out again.
