8 Banana Republic Dresses I Want To Wear All Summer Long

Mango Bare Shoulders Striped Dress

This striped dress can be worn off both shoulders or as one-shoulder neckline, thanks to its versatile bowtie design. The 100% cotton fabric lands around a midi length, hitting right under the knees. More than anything, it's certifiably comfortable since it follows a straight silhouette, so it'll billow beautifully in the breeze as you sip down your fave beachside cocktail.

The Mango Bare Shoulders Striped Dress comes in sizes 0-20 for $60 (was $80).

Edikted Mango Bare Shoulders Striped Dress

Strapless dresses like this one were made for an oceanside getaway. You get breeziness from the exposed shoulders and collarbone, while the rest of the garment falls down to your mid-calf. This pick even has a cheeky slit that runs along the back, shaping your bod in the most flattering way. It's made from a 45% polyester, 45% rayon, and 10% spandex blend, so it stretches with you.

The Edikted Mango Bare Shoulders Striped Dress is available to shop in sizes S-XL for $62 at Nordstrom.

Reformation Nonie Dress

Reformation dresses are truly to die for, and this sailor-esque style is no exception! It flaunts so many cute details, from the puff sleeves to pleated bodice. I'm especially a sucker for its lacy collar. This 50% cotton, 50% viscose dress buttons all the way up and ties in the back to further shape your look around the waist. This striped dress would look adorable with some simple ballet flats to channel a very European vibe.

The Reformation Nonie Dress is shoppable in sizes 0-12 for $248.

SER.O.YA Hull Mini Dress

It's giving nautical. It's giving wealth. It's giving "I'm vacationing in the Hamptons for the summer." This elegant soft knit mini dress is covered in navy and white stripes, all while featuring a off-the-shoulder neckline with flair and a statement belt. It's intended to have a bodycon fit, so expect it to fit your figure like a glove. No matter how you style it, this striped dress is key for achieving a sophisticated summer 'fit.

Eloquii One Shoulder Stripe Dress

This striped dress supplies a ton of coverage without being overly modest or boring. I love the varied stripe sizes! This plus-size pick doesn't fail to keep things interesting with a playful asymmetrical shoulder and diagonal seaming throughout. It's made from 100% rayon with a loose-fitting silhouette that emphasizes its delightful comfort.

The Eloquii One Shoulder Stripe Dress comes in sizes 14-30 for $59 (was $110). A steal!

Old Navy Mini Shirt Dress

If you're aiming more casual for your beachy look, this Old Navy dress is here to please. Plus, we all know how comfortable a shirt dress is! This vertical striped dress' 100% cotton construction will keep you nice and cool in the summer sun. It boasts a relaxed swing fit that's easy to slip on and off, with a few buttons up top so you can customize your look even further.

The Old Navy Mini Shirt Dress is available in sizes XS-4X for $32 (was $40).

Sovere Rhythm Stripe Mix Dress

I'm really obsessed with drop-waist dresses right now. They're super elongating and flattering on anyone! This one is uniquely cool because it looks like two separate pieces, when it's just one long dress. Plus, the tank-style top is high-coverage, so you won't have to make many adjustments to your outfit throughout the day. This pick will give you a more understated striped look while still looking nicely nautical. The top half boasts a knit feel, and the skirt is a lot breezier.

The Sovere Rhythm Stripe Mix Dress is shoppable in sizes XS-L for $229 from Free People.

Abercrombie & Fitch Off-The-Shoulder Smocked Mini Dress

This striped dress is smothered in smocking, and I am living for it. The flouncy hem and neckline feels particularly fit for taking cute Instagram pics by the seashore! This mini dress is definitely meant to hug your figure, but it's generously stretchy throughout, so you won't feel overly restricted. It's crafted from 72% polyester and 28% elastane with a 100% cotton lining for added security.

Simon Miller Sahara Striped Denim Mini Dress

Dare to go bold with even more stripes this season by donning this adorable mini dress! It has a denim feel to it, though it's 100% cotton for some nice added breathability. It zips discreetly along one side, plus there's pockets. The curved seaming at the bust helps shape your figure, even with how loose-fitting this pick is.

The Simon Miller Sahara Striped Denim Mini Dress is currently available in sizes XS-L for $295 at Anthropologie.

Sonoma Goods For Life Belted Knit Dress

This easy-to-wear cotton modal midi is begging to be worn with your coolest gold earrings and some comfy sandals. It's nicely loose-fitting, but cinches along the waist with an attached tie belt. The best part is you'll get some coverage from the sun with the cap sleeves and modest crewneck. There's a side slit along the leg that reveals just enough leg to feel super sexy.

The high neckline on this design gives you some good coverage, while you can show some leg given the mini length of it all. It almost looks like two separate pieces, which opens up a lot of styling possibilities. The stretch-enhanced cotton fabric is fairly slim-fitting. I know it will look just as cool in the fall with some tall boots!

This poplin dress is dreamy, especially given the smooth blue hue. It's smocked all the way until the drop-waist meets the flowy maxi skirt with a thigh-high leg slit.
