With the weather slowly but surely getting warmer, summer is on the way and that means we’re on the lookout for affordable but stylish wardrobe staples that will look good and keep us cool while we’re enjoying the sun. Although it’s the season for cool pastels and eye-catching prints, we have to admit we’ll still be getting plenty of mileage out of our black dresses. You just can’t beat the classic, throw-on style.
We think we’ve found the perfect piece, which is loved by celebs including Frankie Bridge. The Saturdays singer turned Loose Women panellist, who is known for her chic style, recently shared a video of herself wearing a black midi dress from Next that we’re adding to our basket immediately.

Next have come through with your go-to summer dress
With a sleeveless, drop waisted cut, and crew neck, Frankie’s dress is not only super flattering but stylish too. Made from 100 percent cotton, the lightweight and breathable fabric is perfect for summer heatwaves.
‘This is my epitome of summer, just like a throw-on dress,’ Frankie said on Instagram. ‘It’s so comfortable. It’s like a cotton, which is nice and super comfy.’
She added, ‘Everyone need a good black summer dress in their wardrobe.’
The versatile dress is available for just £28 and in a range of sizes from a UK 6-26, as well as two different lengths.
While Frankie completed her look with kitten heeled sandals and a metallic clutch, the Next midi can also be dressed down with trainers and a roomy tote or elevated with some more glam accessories.
Whether you’re heading into the office, going out on a day trip, or even hitting the town for a night out, you’re guaranteed to get plenty of wear out of this dress this summer so make sure to add it to your wardrobe.
