WE all love updating our kid’s wardrobe with adorable outfits when a new season arrives.
And now, mums are swooning over the perfect buy that will let them match with their mini me.
Marks & Spencer recently released their lightweight monochrome summer dress with pretty crochet detailing.
Priced at £55, fashion fans are already insisting they need it for their holidays and have rushed to add it to their baskets.
The ‘Printed Textured Midaxi Beach Dress’ is available in an inclusive size range going from a size 8 to 24.
M&S bosses say: “Crafted from pure cotton, this textured beach dress is a warm day winner.
“It’s designed in a comfy regular fit, falling to a swishy midaxi length with an elegant tier.
“The top section is crafted in a gorgeous crochet style, with a flattering square neckline and straps trimmed with dainty braided trims.
“Jacquard detailing and contrasting patterns throughout the piece bring a beautifully boho feel to this stylish piece.”
And as if shoppers weren’t loving it already, an M&S employee revealed on Monday it is now available in children’s sizes too.
In a short video, they said: “Matching holiday dresses with your mini”
The ‘Cotton Mini Me Dress’ is priced at £22 for ages two to six years, and £24 for six to 16 years.
The clip of the matching outfits has since gone viral, racking up almost 300,000 views.
One fashion fan said: “I’ve been influenced! Runs to app to add both to basket.”
A second wrote: “Awww! I need a holiday for this!”
“Oh my god I need”, gushed a third.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
A fourth chimed in: “Sold, I’ve been waiting 2.5 years for this.”
A fifth added: “Brb doing an order.”
And a sixth insisted: “M&S have really upped their game this year with clothing.
“It’s taken a good 2 decades but I feel like they’re finally hitting the mark.”
If this has inspired you to pop into your nearest M&S you should also keep an eye out for the “gorgeous” linen dress that has shoppers racing to tills.
The Linen Blend Midaxi Swing Dress is already trending on TikTok.
And a £35 buy that doesn’t give you a tummy and flows over your hips has been hailed as the “skirt of summer“.
