Day two back on This Morning for Holly Willoughby and she's already nailed the back to work look. The star shared a snap in a gorgeous French Connection midi dress ahead of Wednesday morning's show (2 September).
Captioning the daily outfit check, she wrote: "Morning Wednesday ... today’s #hwstyle💁🏼♀️✨ on @thismorning ... Dress by @frenchconnection, See you at 10am on @itv xxx"
The dress is perfect for this transitional weather period, lightweight but not too summery, comfortable yet smart.
The flattering square neckline is matched with grown up puff sleeves, all creating shape and structure on top to accentuate the gathered waist below. And while it is a modest midi length, the slit in the side keeps it on trend and modern.
The fabric too achieves a perfect balance, just like the cut and style. It uses a delicate floral but matures it with a black and white colour palette.
French Connection Elao Verona Crepe Midi Smock Dress, £110
Wear it with court shoes for work like Holly, throw it on with your favourite sneakers to add a romantic feel to your day-to-day, or pair it with espadrilles for your last events of the summer.
And when the weather turns? We think it would look cute with a lightweight ribbed roll neck underneath, some cosy tights and biker boots.
At £110 the dress isn't cheap. Even though it certainly would get plenty of wear for countless occasions, we've found some cheaper alternatives too.
This & Other Stories number comes in at £25 less.
And this similar style from Very is less less than half the price at just £40.
