This Morning host Alison Hammond is no stranger to a stylish high-street find, often stepping out in looks that feel both chic and attainable. Her latest outfit has certainly caught our eye, and not just because of its gorgeous summer-ready shade of green, but because it is from one of our favourite high-street retailers, Next.
Alison’s stylist, Rachael Hughes, shared a snap of the presenter wearing the dress on her Instagram Story, revealing that it's from Love & Roses, a brand part of the Next group and sold exclusively on the Next website. Better still, it costs just £59, which, for a dress this versatile, feels like a bit of a bargain.
The vibrant green dress features a flattering V-neckline and short sleeves, making it an ideal choice for summer occasions. Adding a polished touch are the black piping details around the neckline and the black contrast tie-waist panel, which helps create a beautifully defined silhouette.
The tailored maxi dress combines a fitted bodice with a flowing A-line skirt, creating a shape that is both elegant and incredibly flattering. It's the kind of piece that works just as well for a day in the office as it does for a wedding guest outfit styled with heels and a clutch bag.
For more formal occasions, you could elevate the look with a pop of gold jewellery, a gold bag and some gleaming gold heels. Alternatively, it would look effortlessly chic paired with simple black flats and a classic black handbag for a more relaxed feel.
The dress runs in sizes 8 through to 22, but at the time of writing, it only comes in a regular fit and not a petite fit.
In a review on the Next website, one shopper said: “Very lovely dress, well worth the money.”
Another added: “I really like this dress, fits so well. Easy to wear and looks smart.”
However, one shopper said: “Ordered because of the lovely colour, but returned it as it was too long and the skirt of the dress was very full . Very disappointed that only the black and white version is available in Petite. The green should be available in both sizes.”
