Last year, there was a point where you couldn’t go outside without seeing somebody in THAT spotty Zara dress.
The tiered midi was so ubiquitous that it even spawned its own Instagram account, where people could post their spots of the spots.
This year might have a contender when it comes to an It Dress, in the form of a New Look smock dress that’s been seen on tons of influencers.
The £22.99 dress of the moment comes in a black and white checked print, and has puff sleeves and an a-line below the bust.
The mini then has a tier towards the bottom, giving it a bit of volume (not quite Molly Goddard levels, but perhaps a bit more suitable for a casual day out).
It’s a worthy rival to the Zara spotted number, coming in at almost half the price of it (£22.99 compared to £39.99).
As it’s shorter, it also gives us the chance to show off our legs. Perhaps one for holidays once lockdown lifts?
Influencers who have been spotted in the dress include Nicola Nikki, who blogs at 40s Not Frumpy, beauty editor Lucy Kummer, and stylist Billie-Jo.
According to the brand, it has also appeared in Vogue, which is quite the feat for a sub-£30 frock.
Each of the bloggers has styled the checked dress completely differently, showing off how versatile it can be. From cowboy boots to studded belts to athletic trainers, it’s certainly one that can be worn in a variety of ways.
Personally, we’re ready for every pub garden to have at least three people wearing it – once they’re open, that is.
It’s still in stock for the moment, and is also available in a petite version.
