If the current weather situation is giving you a headache over what to wear, you're not alone. I feel like every outfit I put on in the morning either leaves me freezing cold or sweating and shedding layers by the end of the day. That's why this midi dress from Roman caught my eye as an ideal transeasonal outfit.
Priced at £42, it comes in sizes 10 to 20 and is made from a stretch-jersey fabric allowing some give to keep you comfy throughout the day but not lose its shape. Shoppers can currently get 10% off Roman's new arrivals with the code SPICE, which takes the price down to £37.80.
The dress has a flattering wrap-style front, a gathered waist, and a V-neckline. It has three-quarter-length sleeves, which give enough arm coverage, but won't be bulky. It also has pockets at the side — what's not to love?
What I like most about the dress is its versatility. It could be worn during autumn with bare legs and boots like the model. Or trainers and teamed with a leather jacket. The deep purple colour makes it perfect for winter too, worn with tights and even a thermal underneath to keep it in rotation throughout the colder months.
Shoppers who have already purchased the dress had plenty of compliments, including one person who revealed they had snapped up their size as soon as it came back in stock. One person wrote: "My new dress has beautiful style, fit and colour. It is going to be a fabulous dress for those special events where elegance is required. I am looking forward to wearing it for my next big birthday."
Another user added: "Love this. Stylish, comfortable." In a review for the same dress but in a different colour, one user penned: "Really comfortable fit, the stretch material means I can wear a long sleeve top underneath and still look neat." While a second wrote: "Love it! Fits well very comfortable. It's the dress you can wear to anywhere."
A few people mentioned that the length of the dress might not be midi on everyone, with some customers who said they were under 5ft 2in revealing it came to just above their ankles. One shopper revealed they had easily taken it up to suit their height.
