British brand Rixo has built a cult following since it launched in 2015 for its print packed, vintage-inspired dresses in form flattering cuts and eye-catching colours.
But sadly for us, they don’t come cheap. The current fave among the fashion crowd is the Martha dress, a 100% silk midi with a bold green and black pattern of red daisies and oversized polka splodges. Only problem is, it’s £315.
Just as you resign yourself to never getting your hands on a Rixo piece, the high street is catching on to the clash-print midi movement.
For starters, Asos is currently offering a similar style for £45. Just a small saving of £270, thank you very much. And it’s not the only one.
If your budget doesn’t stretch into the hundreds, we’ve rounded up the next best dresses so you can still get your fix for a fraction of the price.
