We are well and truly in the throes of British summertime, which can only mean one thing: absolutely crazy weather. Any given day can bring with it a “hotter than Ibiza” weekend, a torrential rainstorm, gale-force winds, cloudless skies, and everything else in between – which means it’s harder than ever to get dressed each morning, even if you’re something of a fashion expert.

Thankfully, though, there’s a solution to your wardrobe woes. And it comes in the form of ASOS’ must-have ‘transitional’ dress of the season.

Surprise, surprise: it’s an animal-print dress. Go figure.

We’ve told you time and time again that animal print is THE print of the season, no matter which season it is. 

And that’s certainly been proven true by ASOS’ most recent sales figures. Indeed, when we here at Stylist reached out to the online retailer, they proudly informed us that animal print sales went up by a whopping 400% in AW18. Indeed, the ASOS DESIGN leopard print bias skirt sold out in less than one week. Phew.

Thankfully, though, those same designers heard your pleas, and they created a chic alternative for SS19. 

Say hello to the ASOS DESIGN bias cut maxi dress:

To create the item, ASOS designers took all of the style elements we loved so much in that sellout skirt and implemented them into a dress.

However, they have certainly upped the ante this time around. Think a fun all-over zebra print. Think long blouson sleeves (perfect for warding off springtime chills). Think a chic square neck.

Think everything you’ve been scrolling for, in one £45 dress.

Made from a silky-smooth material, the dress is available in all of ASOS’ fit ranges: ASOS Curve, Tall, Petite and Maternity. And it’s so easy to style, too: the fashion retailer recommends teaming yours with black biker boots (perfect for stomping through those springtime puddles) and minimal gold jewellery, to allow that bold animal print to do all the talking for you.

However, we’ve no doubt that the dress is going to sell out very quickly, especially as ASOS have an extra-special ‘20% off’ sale on today.

Intrigued? All you have to do is enter the code CHECKMEOUT at checkout to receive your 20% discount, but you better be quick: the deal ends 8am on 1 June 2019, so, if you’re a fan of this look, we recommend sticking it in your shopping basket ASAP.

We’ll see you at the virtual checkout.
