Summer fashion is all about blending effortlessly chic and flattering silhouettes with light breezy materials, and Marks and Spencer’s newest dress manages to check all the boxes. The Pure Cotton One Shoulder Midi Waisted Dress, , has just landed on the high street favourite’s website, and is already proving popular with shoppers.
The dress is the perfect blend of fitted and floaty, with a silhouette that accentuates your figure and a lightweight cotton material that’s perfect for staying cool in warm, humid weather. The perfect addition to your summer wardrobe, we’re already envisioning this dress topping our holiday packing lists, whilst being versatile enough to be worn anywhere, any time this season.
There’s nothing worse than tight waistbands digging in when you’re already feeling hot and bothered, which is why this M&S midi is perfect for the summer. It has a stretchy shirred waist that creates a fitted silhouette whilst still being comfortable enough to sit and move around in, creating the perfect cinched look without spending all day tugging at a snug waistband.
The rest of the dress has a loose, relaxed fit that flows over your body, skimming over areas like your hips, stomach and bust to create subtle volume that accentuates your curves without clinging. It’s also made from a lightweight cotton material that’s lightweight and breathable, making sure you stay cool and comfortable all day.
As well as its gorgeous flattering fit, the midi dress has a one shoulder design that gives it a modern spin on a classic midi design, making it both understated and chic at the same time. You can just as easily team the dress with a pair of gladiator sandals and some gold hoops for day time as you can pair it with heels and a statement bag for evenings.

If you prefer a little more coverage, River Island’s Black Linen Blend Belted Shift Midi Dress, , has a similar flattering silhouette to the M&S dress, but rather than a strappy design, it has a voluminous one shoulder short sleeve. It’s also made from a linen blend, which keeps it light and breezy to wear – perfect for the warmer weather.
You can also pick from four different colours, with black, white, orange and a monochrome printed version available. This might just be our new favourite summer silhouette!
