M&S shoppers, however, have found a ‘gorgeous’ summer dress that will keep you cool for under £40.

In fact, the Linen Blend Midaxi Swing Dress is already trending on TikTok.
Unlike other frocks on the high street, this dress is made from lightweight linen (51 per cent) and is ideal for warmer weather.
Coming in a stylish natural beige colour, it has a scoop neckline and two wide straps meaning it won’t ding into you as you go about your day.
This frock isn’t just a practical buy thought, as its fitted bodice, empire waistline and ‘swishy’ maxi-midi skirt flatters every figure.
Even better, the dress is easy to style so can be worn with sandals and a straw bag for an effortlessly chic summer look.
You could even skip the handbag all together as the dress even has built in pockets.
Alternatively, you could add strappy heels and gold-toned jewellery for an elevated evening look.
It isn’t just the Fabulous team who are obsessed with the Marks and Spencer’s buy though, as it is already beginning to go viral on TikTok.
Fashionista and content creator Liza Prideaux even made an entire video dedicated to the M&S dress, gushing in the caption about it.
She later told fans: “Tried on this gorgeous dress in @Marks & Spencer the other day, love a linen dress.”
As her video rapidly gained over 120,000 views, others revealed that they’d also fallen for the classic linen dress.
One wrote: “Love this dress… searched for it straight away online and it’s sold out in my size!”
“That’s beautiful on you!” added another, while a third raved: “I love it.. I feel a visit to M&S is needed.”
Over on the M&S website, shoppers had similar positive reviews with the dress getting an impressive 4 star rating – despite only just hitting shelves.
An excited shopper even awarded it five-star and wrote: “My new favourite dress, fits perfectly, feels great. Best of all it has pockets!”

Many agreed, with another saying how comfortable it was to wear in high heat.
They wrote: “The most comfortable lightweight breathable dress. Casual yet smart, dress up or dress down. Wore it on a city break where it was 32 degrees and felt very cool.
“True to size [and] the expanding back is great for blessed bosoms! & the length was perfect (im only 5ft 3”) It was perfect.”
If you weren’t already sold, this fashion comes in sizes (6-24) and lengths including long, medium and short – meaning you can easily get the perfect fit.
As the dress is currently only £39.50 in stores and online, it has already begun to sell out.
Therefore, you’ll need to be quick if you don’t want to miss out on this fashion find.
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
