    Grab a floral printed maxi or on-trend denim dress from this 80-strong new collection.

    Banana Republic has answered our style prayers this season, with the launch of its signature summer dress collection – its most covetable and expansive dress collection to date.

    Featuring a whopping 80 dresses, we challenge you to limit yourself to just one. There really is something for every occasion, from the glitzy sequined cocktail dress, to the flowing daytime maxi, to the on-trend denim utility style or little white summer dress.

    The brand’s designers took inspiration from lush rainforests, lagoons and gardens, and this is reflected in not only the prints, but also the palette on offer, which features flashes of aqua, magenta and egg yolk yellow. Prints range from hazy watercolours to ditzy florals, as well as bold tribal designs.

    The use of silk, linen and cotton ensure you’ll want to thrown these dresses on again and again for all your summer commitments, from barbeques to cocktail parties.

    But be quick - this collection is sure to be a sell-out.
