My favourite spring and summer picks from Roman are perfect for the warmer weather (Image: Roman)
When it comes to refreshing my wardrobe for the sunnier seasons, I always aim to shop wisely to maximise my money’s worth without compromising on style. To achieve this, you need to identify a fashion brand that delivers high-quality, trend-driven pieces and this year, for me, Roman is taking the crown. A swift perusal of their website left me thoroughly impressed with their new season collection, enabling me to compile a wish-list of my top picks all priced under £50 each.
From quilted floral jackets that appear far pricier than their actual cost, to eye-catching dresses perfect for spring and summer festivities, I was spoilt for choice. Below, you’ll find my fashion-writer approved selections from Roman that I foresee becoming a mainstay in wardrobes for many years ahead. These universally flattering items are designed to make you feel as fabulous as you look, ensuring your outfits are sorted for the forthcoming months.
Royal Blue Abstract Border Print Shirt Dress – £42

This sought-after dress from Roman has us daydreaming about holidays on a Greek island, with numerous shoppers noting its resemblance to the styles showcased in Mamma Mia. Crafted from a smooth, woven fabric, this blue and white printed dress offers a chic, spring-ready look that exudes elegance, reports the Mirror.
This is the perfect outfit for any sun-drenched holiday or simply lounging at home, offering an effortlessly chic ensemble when teamed with tan sandals or fresh white trainers for £42. However, it might not be the best choice for those of a shorter height, as there are no petite or regular skirt lengths available. For a dress with a similar print that comes in petite, regular or tall, consider Boden’s Marcia Jersey Midi Shirt Dress.
Stretch Pocket Detail Jacket – £38

A lightweight jacket is essential for transitional dressing and at less than £40, Roman’s Stretch Pocket Detail Jacket is a fantastic option. It’s available in an impressive 17 different colours, including pastel shades, neutrals and checks, and it has received excellent reviews, scoring a near-perfect 4.9 out of five stars from 36 customers.
It’s a great alternative to a denim jacket as shoppers say ‘it has plenty of stretch’ so it ‘doesn’t feel restrictive’. Customers have also noted that it is made from ‘high quality’ material, ensuring that it will last and can be a spring staple in wardrobes for years to come.
Pink Abstract Print Shirred Waist Maxi Dress – £48

The Pink Abstract Print Shirred Waist Maxi Dress has been described as ‘even more stunning than it looks online’ by a five-star reviewer, and it’s certainly caught our attention with its bold print and fabulous flowing skirt. If you’ve got a special occasion coming up this year, like a spring or summer wedding, it could be the perfect choice.
Customers have praised the dress for its ‘not too high’ split and the ‘added bonus of discreet pockets’. At less than £50, it’s a truly special piece that makes wearers ‘feel like a million dollars’.
However, some have mentioned that ‘it is far too long dragging on the floor’, so those of a shorter stature might need to get it altered or pair it with chunky wedges. If you’re a fan of this style, the Nobody’s Child Pink Floral Bandeau Ruby Maxi Dress might also be worth considering.
White Lace Detail Cotton A Line Maxi Skirt – £25

Get the boho look with this £25 White Lace Cotton Maxi Skirt. It’s one of the most affordable white maxi skirts we’ve found, but we’re also loving this Lace Maxi Tiered Skirt selling for £49.50 at Marks and Spencer.
This Roman maxi skirt can be paired with pretty much anything already in your wardrobe, such as t-shirts, cami tops, cardigans and jumpers. Shoppers have complimented the lining which ensures it is ‘comfortable to wear’ and they’re ‘not worried about it being see-through’.
Black Floral Print Cotton Jacket – £49.50

Printed jackets are the trend of the season, being flaunted by celebrities and fashion editors alike. This Black Floral Print Cotton Jacket is described as ‘gorgeous’ and it’s also available in pink for a more vibrant look. A popper fastening allows it to be worn closed, but we adore the idea of wearing it open with a simple white tee and light blue denim jeans.
The bold pattern might not appeal to everyone, however, the monochrome version prevents it from being too overwhelming. Those who have a bit more budget can find a similar style at Next for £76 with their ‘well admired’ Ecru/Navy Quilted Embroided Jacket.
