4 Sophisticated Options When You Need a Dress For That Summer Wedding

For a seasonal update to the classic LBD, opt for a silky slip style splashed with bright florals. The combination of the timeless silhouette with a fresh, fun print works just as well at a beachside nuptial as it does at a ritzy reception.

There's nothing more sophisticated than a tailored-to-perfection sheath dress with a touch of feminine utility. Thanks to the ultraflattering fit and neutral hue, this is one number you'll be able to slip into for virtually any event — and long after Summer has ended.

Capture the carefree vibe of the season with an effortless maxi dress. The slim cut, ankle-grazing length and bold red shade keep this piece feeling sultry, while the punchy pattern adds a vibrant, playful flair.

If you're looking for a simple way to elevate a fitted dress, texture is key. Take a clean, classic shape to the next level with subtle woven stripes. Throw in a trumpet flare for movement and you've got a standout piece to carry you from casual gathering to cocktail hour.

Simply. Sophisticated. Summer. Just because it's summer, doesn't mean you can't dress up... Banana Republic has amazing, high-quality new pieces you need to dress up your most casual season. Shop the new Summer collection now.
