As we get ready to embrace the new season, Michelle Keegan is back with another amazing spring collection as part of her ongoing collaboration with Very. The brand new range launched today (March 4) with 50 different pieces starting from £25, and was inspired by the South of France’s laidback sophistication.

Its colour scheme is a nod to Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Cloud Dancer cream, with complementary shades of ice blue, pastel beach, espresso and warm neutrals. One piece that marries all of these together perfectly is the £50 Asymmetric Stripe Knitted Maxi Dress which comes in a beautiful striped pattern and is versatile enough to be worn for any occasion.

The Asymmetric Stripe Knitted Maxi Dress has a classic, timeless silhouette with its long sleeves, rounded neck and A-line maxi skirt, which make it more than modest enough to wear it to work or for spring a christening or wedding. We also love the textured finish, which makes it look more elegant and expensive, whilst the drop waist adds some modern interest to the silhouette whilst keeping it flattering.

Its striped pattern is an understated combination of spring pastels colours that let you style it with a number of different colour accents, whether it's a neutral-toned pair of shoes to a statement bold-coloured bag. A simple pair of heels and a clutch make this Asymmetric Stripe Knitted Maxi Dress effortlessly stylish for a formal function, whilst a pair of knee high boots would make it instantly office-ready.

However you could just as easily dress it down for more casual occasions, like teaming it with some sandals for a cooler evening on holiday or a pair of trainers and a bomber jacket for a casual lunch. The dress is available in sizes six to 20, and you can pick it up in the Very collection for £50.

The rest of Michelle’s new spring/summer26 Very collection includes plenty of beautiful pieces for spring, including a chocolate brown polka dot maxi dress that we’ve got our eye on for our go-to occasionwear this spring. There’s also plenty of casual options too that are essential for spring layering, such as the Cream Funnel Neck Windbreaker Jacket (£60), and denim that can be worn together or mixed and matched with other pieces.

Michelle said: “This collection brings together essential wardrobe pieces and special occasion dressing for the spring season. From easy looks to relaxed styles for time at home, it offers something for every moment. I love the mix of textures and the colour palette this season, with polka dots softened by pastel shades.”
