Our Mumsnet users love Roman these days and it’s easy to see why

“Yes I like them too. [I’ve] only just discovered them since I moved to a town with a branch. Dresses are really nice too and good customer service. Stuff also washes well.” mrsnec

When it comes to affordable style, Roman is renowned for offering high-quality, on-trend pieces at great prices. Catering to both petite and curve body types, Roman ensures you can find something flattering regardless of your shape or size. 

While many members of our Mumsnet community are fans of Roman, the brand does spark debate on our talkboards. And while a handful of users worry that certain styles might lean towards old-fashioned, a quick glance at the website and you’ll soon realise that this isn’t the case. 

In fact, Roman has a wide selection of clothing for every season - and their winter range is especially lovely this year. Plus, the festive pieces are great for the Christmas party season ahead! 

Roman’s core mission is to deliver fashionable, affordable clothing for everyone. From bold knits to elegant evening wear and thick coats for layering, there are so many pieces we can’t wait to get our hands on ourselves.

As one member, Howyoualldoworkme shared: “Their petite stuff fits me perfectly, and their tea dresses are very flattering. I’ve just bought a very nice Chanel-type jacket from them at a great price—and you can usually find a money-off coupon.”

Another user, PurplePeach62, added: “Generally, the clothes are true to size, good quality, and most importantly, flattering. They have a huge range of clothing, so there’s plenty of choice—particularly for dresses.”

Mumsnet user justasking111 summed it up simply: “Roman clothing has become my favourite for tops. I had a gorgeous jumper I wore this week for lunch out.”

So, what’s on our Roman winter wishlist?

Let’s start with this sparkly jumpsuit, which is an effortless way to add a little Studio 54 to the work Christmas party. It’s a skin-baring style but the woven fabric can still keep you warm, and the wide leg design will make your pins look endless.

Add a touch of festive sparkle to your look with this curve waterfall cardigan. It’s available in sizes 18 to 32, and comes in a dark shimmer and a bold silver. The draping of the style gives the illusion of a longer torso too.

The twist front of this sequin top creates a flattering silhouette, skimming over the tummy and drawing focus to the bust. It’s machine-washable for easy care, and the stretch jersey fabric provides unbeatable comfort.

We love how well this twist detail dress works for all seasons. The dark tones make it perfect for winter, while the floral details will really pop for a spring or summer event. The plunging neckline will look great with a bold necklace, and you can pair with chunky boots or statement heels.
