Charlotte Hawkins' flattering cotton paisley dress is perfect for summer holidays - and it's now reduced in the sale

Charlotte Hawkins attends The Boodles Tennis 2024 at Stoke Park on June 27, 2024 .

Charlotte Hawkins always looks perfectly put-together, whether she's talking all things fashion at Royal Ascot, or presenting Good Morning Britain.

Back in May, she wore a beautiful blue and white paisley print dress whilst hosting the show, and honestly, I'm still thinking about it. It's by British clothing brand Hobbs, and not only is the breathable cotton fabric ideal for hot weather, but the print is a refreshing alternative to florals or stripes. It's a very Dolce & Gabbana-esque print, and I can see it looking stunning on a trip to somewhere like Greece or Italy.

The button-down front, gentle V-neckline and puff sleeves are both flattering and incredibly easy to wear, plus it's got pockets! The lightweight fabric will be easy to pack in your holiday suitcase, and the best news is that it's now reduced in the Hobbs sale. It's a new addition to the sale, and for a limited time only, there's an extra 15% off. I can see this dress flying off the virtual shelves, so don't wait if you love it as much as I do.

Exact match

This is the exact dress Charlotte wore, and now is the time to buy it, since there's an extra 15% off the sale price. With its fit and flare shape, tie waist belt and flattering arm coverage, this dress ticks all my boxes. You can wear it with flat sandals, heels or even your best white trainers.

Shop more options

For a slightly more beachy take on the blue and white paisley print, I love this H&M option. It's both breezy and a bargain!

This one's got a smocked bodice for a perfect fit, and it's available in sizes small to extra large. Pair it with a basket bag and gold jewellery for a day of sightseeing.

If you're a fan of a chic shirt dress, this one's got your name written all over it. Notice the little tassels on the tie waist, which is the kind of detail that really elevates a dress.

This dress has a fluttery layered sleeves and a wrap neckline. It looks much more expensive than it is, and as the JD Williams site says it exudes Santorini vibes.

One happy customer called this a "lovely floaty dress", writing: "Brought this for a wedding in Ibiza in the summer, I'm a short size 16 but doesn't overwhelm me and has lots of movement."

Charlotte paired her dress with some navy court heels, which would be ideal if you're considering wearing your dress to a summer wedding. My experience with Next heels is that they're impressively comfortable.

I certainly wasn't the only fan of Charlotte's look, as her Instagram followers rushed to compliment her pretty dress, writing: "Where did you get that lovely dress I need one!" and "dress and heels are so exquisite".
