Roman has created a dedicated 'desk to dinner' section to simplify wardrobe choices, and we've selected four of our favourite options that are proving popular right now. From midi dresses to knitted styles for chillier days, the range offers plenty of choice, and you can also browse trousers and tops in the complete section.
Top four desk to dinner dresses
The Ditsy Floral Gathered Midi Dress is priced at £38 and described on the Roman website as "effortlessly elegant", featuring a classic round neck, flattering 3/4 sleeves and a fit and flare shape. It comes with practical side pockets and is available in 27 patterns. Made from 96% viscose and 4% elastane, it is machine washable with a length of approximately 125cm. Shoppers have rated it 4.9 out of five, with one saying: "Exactly as advertised. Good fit, I am size 14, 5'9", ideal length. Arrived on time. Well packaged, no need to iron. Good value for money."
The Panel Detail Midi Dress is priced at £42 and comes in a denim design. Described as "chic" with a flattering v-neck and sleeveless fit and flare shape, it is made from 100% cotton and is machine washable. It has a length of approximately 125cm and has been rated 4.8 out of five by shoppers. One criticism noted "two odd, slightly baggy areas around the back of the shoulders", while another shopper said it "would benefit from two pockets" but decided to keep it as it was "such a lovely design from the front".
Knitted and wrap styles for autumn
The Contrast Collar Knitted Dress is priced at £42 and is described as "perfect for autumn/winter", featuring a classic round neck, 3/4 sleeves and a fit and flare shape that falls to knee length. Made from 50% viscose, 30% polyamide and 20% acrylic, it is machine washable with a length of approximately 96cm. The dress includes a button through detail and a shift shape.
The Floral Wrap Midi Dress is also priced at £42 and features a mock wrap bodice with a flattering fit and flare shape. Made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, it is machine washable with a length of approximately 120cm. It has been praised with a 4.9 out of five rating from 33 reviews. One shopper said: "Lovely dress with attractive print. The material feels and looks expensive as it hangs loosely it is very flattering." Another removed a star after requesting a "larger size" as it was a "neat fit", though they still called it a "lovely dress".
Other options from M&S and Nobody's Child
Over on the M&S website, the Pure Cotton Collared Belted Midi Utility Dress is priced at £38 and appears ideal for transitioning from day to evening, and can be smartened up during autumn with tights and boots. Nobody's Child is also offering the White Collared Orla Midi Dress for £75 instead of £125, which customers have called "stunningly beautiful". The off-white shade makes it ideal for summer occasions, providing a hint of sophistication for an evening event.
