We've seen plenty of newness in the style universe this year. Colour combinations have taken off, asymmetric hemlines have dominated, and classic prints have been refreshed with eye catching patterns that instantly draw attention.
But what if I told you there's an endlessly chic piece out there that combines all three trends and more, without feeling overdone? You'd be right to be sceptical. Yet, Next has proved that bringing together some of the season's biggest trends doesn't have to result in a rather overwhelming look. Instead, it's created what might just be one of the most stylish pieces I've seen this summer.
Next Chocolate Brown Geometric Hanky Hem Dress
The piece in question? The Geometric Hanky Hem Dress, a swishy midi dress that has already become a bestseller at Next and is perfect for sun drenched days. Updating the brown and blue colour combination that took off earlier this year with an angular geometric print, it may seem like a lot at first glance. But once you see how effortlessly chic it is, it becomes clear that this could be one of the best affordable buys you'll make for the balmy summer months.
And it's not just the striking print that catches the eye. The dress also offers a fresh take on the asymmetric hemline, thanks to unique scarf style panelling on the bodice and a fluid hanky hem skirt.
There's no need to worry about how to style it, either, making it an ideal addition to an easy breezy holiday wardrobe. Simply add your footwear of choice. I'd personally pair it with black leather flip flops for an effortless look that works from day through to night.
