Next's Jersey Bandeau Playsuit has become a 'holiday staple' according to shoppers, offering a stylish and practical option for summer wardrobes. Priced at just £25, this playsuit is crafted from soft jersey fabric that eliminates the need for ironing, making it ideal for sunbathing and beach outings. The bandeau neckline and elasticated waistband provide a flattering fit, while handy side pockets have earned praise from customers.
Patterns and Sizing
The playsuit is available in five patterns: Cream/Pink Paisley, Blue/Pink Scenic, Ecru/Shell Print, Navy Blue/Tropical Print, and Blue/White Floral. Sizes range from UK 6 to 26, with regular and petite lengths. However, at the time of writing, some sizes may be out of stock or restocking within two to three days, and the petite fit is unavailable in most patterns.
Shopper Reviews
A five-star review stated: "This is a nice play suit. Cut really well and stays put without any of that yucky plasticky stuff. It’s a heavier material than the other play suits I’ve got from next but still light and cool. Sizing is true, not too tight around the bust. Looking forward to my hols so I can wear it." Another shopper added: "This is a perfect alternative to a summer dress. It doesn’t crease and it has pockets!"
Features and Care
Key features include a bandeau neckline, elasticated waistband, side pockets, and machine washable fabric. The blouson look with gathered side seams creates a flattering fit. The product description reads: "Embrace effortlessly cool holiday style with this playsuit. Crafted from soft jersey fabric, it features an on-trend bandeau neckline, a comfortable elasticated waistband and practical side pockets."

Additional Customer Feedback
One shopper commented: "I bought the brown coloured one for my holiday and it looked great. Dressier than shorts and t-shirts. I loved it so much that I bought another on return from my holiday in a different colour. Very comfy and looks great on." Another noted: "Bought for holiday fabric a little thick for hot days but all the same a lovely outfit." A five-star review said: "Glad I bought this for my holiday. Super comfy and no tan lines! Easy to throw on over a bikini." Finally, one shopper stated: "Bought for my holiday absolutely love it, so pretty. Will be buying another. Much easier than choosing shorts and a top, looked dressy when nipping from the beach to have lunch."
