Rochelle Humes and her This Morning wardrobe have become one of our go-tos for style inspo, with the presenter constantly arriving on set in a some amazingly chic ensembles. On yesterday’s show (February 27), Rochelle gave us the perfect hint of that spring is on its way in her Yellow Satin Hybrid Slip Midi Dress, £60 here, from River Island .
The pastel-hued midi is the ideal piece for transitioning from winter’s chilly climes into a (hopefully) warmer new season, and we can’t wait to add it to our spring-ready wardrobe. The dress’s cosy knitted top and lightweight satin dress also mean it can be worn for plenty of different occasions, making it an instant must-have purchase.
The hybrid dress has a knitted top with a flattering cross over design on the front that accentuates your waist and creates the illusion of curves, and it’s completely detachable. That means you can leave it in place for those colder occasions, whip it off when the weather gets warm, or wear it on its own with a pair of high waisted trousers or jeans giving you multiple outfits with just one item.
The dress itself is a classic satin slip style, with a midi length hemline and sleeveless design. It also has a slightly scooped neckline and spaghetti-style straps that make it perfect for wearing all year round.
Style is with the matching jumper and loafer in spring, on its own with trainers or sandals in summer, and with knitwear and chunky boots during the autumn and winter months. You can also dress it up for evening with a pair of strappy heels, a blazer and some statement jewellery to turn it into a chic nighttime look.
River Island isn’t the only brand to be embracing the hybrid midi dress, with ASOS’ Y.A.S Hybrid Midi Jumper Dress With Satin Slip In Black, £65 here, being another great option for those of you who love a bit of mixing and matching. The ASOS’ version comes in both black and pale pink, and features an off the shoulder chunky knit jumper layered with a strappy satim midi dress.
Bargain hunters will also be rushing to snap up New Look’s Black 2 in 1 Lace Hem Midi Jumper Dress, £14 here (was £39.99), which has a soft oversized jumper attached to a satin midi skirt with a lace trim. However unlike the other version, the dress can’t be detached from the jumper, making it better suited to autumn and winter wardrobes.
Of course, if you already have a midi dress you love, you can always layer your favorite knitwear over the top to give it an instant upgrade. Choose a matching colour for a cohesive, fashion-forward look, or pick a contrasting shade to give the look some drama.
