I just tried on the £35 linen dress that Londoners are obsessed with—it's ideal.

      In the last month, the weather has shown signs of summer with a few heatwaves and sunny spells. Now that the summer solstice has passed, we're getting used to a pattern of warm days. This weekend, temperatures in the capital are expected to reach 30 degrees, and with more hot weather on the way, I quickly began searching for a dress to wear during the warmest days. I was looking for something elegant and airy, and after several hours of searching, I found it. You'll definitely want to check out the Uniqlo Linen-Blend Mini Dress (£35). When I think of essential pieces made from high-quality fabrics at affordable prices, Uniqlo comes to mind. After a long, hot day at work, I went in-store to see if any products stood out that could help endure the city heat, and this mini dress immediately grabbed my attention.

      The first aspect I noticed was the silhouette. It has an elegant design with a slightly tailored fit, creating a soft hourglass shape. Made from a lightweight linen blend, the fabric is breathable and perfect for the upcoming warm weather. Plus, it features pockets! The dress is currently available in classic black, vibrant red, cheerful yellow, and a soft green. Here, I've tried on the black version with sneakers, but it would also look great with elegant ballet flats or brightly colored mules. I wore my usual size, small, and found it to have a little extra room, which I prefer since I don't want anything skin-tight on a hot day. For reference, I am 5'2", and the skirt falls just above my knee.
