    And it's a thing of beauty

    Primark's spring/summer collections never disappoint, which you'll know if you managed (or not), to get your hands on that sold-out gingham dress.

    And having gotten a sneak peek of their SS18 collection, I can tell you next season is even better than the last, plus I'm pretty sure I've found the next must-have dress.

    Enter this simple 70s-inspired summer dress. It has a ruched bodice, delicate red and white striped straps and is looks so light it might as well be made of air.

    Not convinced? Here is is from the back. Even better right? Especially when worn with a straw boater hat.

    It's just the holiday dress you need, paired with simple slides, or you could dress it up with some leather wedges for a weekend in the city too.

    I expect this one will sell out soon too, so keep your eyes peeled. It should be launching around April time, but I'll let you know once I know the exact launch date.

    Not a dress person? No biggie, the rest of the collection is just as nice.

    You've got your checks carrying on into next season in the form of a chic trench coat, and denim is obvs a key player, paired with even more denim.

    Plus those white boots are going nowhere, which might convince you to buy into the boot trend now.

    Striped shirts are always a safe option for work, and the below yellow dress is all you need for that bohemian beach holiday.

    Bear in mind this is just a preview of the line, there is plenty more where that came from, from red trench coats to paperboy trousers and frayed denim. It's going to be good.
