The dress is available in three colours
With another heatwave incoming, staying cool and comfortable is a high priority. Dressing stylishly can be difficult during periods of high temperatures but you don’t have to give up looking good while remaining fresh with one particular dress at New Look.
The high street retailer’s Grey Smock Mini Dress is perfect for days when the sun is blazing. Crafted from 100% breathable cotton that wicks moisture away from the skin, it’s the type of dress that you can throw and quickly head out the door without any fuss.
What’s more, the Grey Smock Mini Dress is currently on sale. It typically retails for £15.99 but shoppers can bag it with a 40% saving, bringing the price to £9.59.

The budget-friendly dress comes in sizes six to 22, as well as in two other colours. If you’re not a big fan of grey, the dress is also available in navy or red.
The Grey Smock Mini Dress has been cut to a flirty mini length, that’s short but not ‘too short’, meaning you could even wear it to the office if you’ve got a relaxed workplace. It’s finished off with a crew neckline and short sleeves, and folded cuffs.
The best thing about the dress, though, is its elasticated waist. It cinches you in and defines your silhouette while remaining comfortable, making it comfortable for even those who are prone to bloating.

If there’s more room in your budget, Nobody’s Child is offering up to 50% off hundreds of dresses in its summer sale. The Blue Tile Print Floral Joanna Midi Dress is now £44 instead of £89 while the Leopard Print Scarla Midi Dress has been reduced to £40 instead of £99.
Boden has also also slashed the price of hundreds of dresses by up to 50%, with the £112 Square Neck Seam Midi Dress now costing £56. The Juliet Broderie Midi Dress is also now half off, coming in at £40 down from £80.
Back at New Look, the Grey Smock Mini Dress boasts one, albeit glowing, review. It reads: “So comfortable and flattering, a little big but this makes it nicer to wear when it’s warmer.”
While New Look’s offering doesn’t have any negative reviews, shoppers should be aware that it only comes in one length, which could prove problematic if you’ usually opt for petite or tall cuts. But for less than £10, you can’t go wrong with the summer number.
