Thinking of refreshing your summer wardrobe? If you’re wondering which brand to shop for chic yet affordable summer dresses, you should check out Next. If you don’t have the time to scroll through their collection, I’ve rounded up 15 fabulous summer dresses that are worthy additions to your wardrobe. 

The British retailer has been a reliable go-to for an affordable fashion fix for years and offers many items in various styles and body types. Of course, its dress collection is no different. From Next’s self-brand alone, I’ve spotted more than 100 summer dresses this year.  

From midi to maxi and everything in between, Next has pretty much every dress you could ever imagine. Most of their styles match perfectly well with today’s trends, like animal prints, mini lengths, fiery red colours, and timeless floral prints. Besides their style, their sizing generally runs true to size, so you can shop online with ease knowing that you can go with your usual size (but it’s still best practice to check their size guides—they’re pretty accurate, I can tell you that). 

But the best thing about Next is that their selection of dresses doesn’t go beyond £100. Given the rising living costs here in the UK, it’s safe to say that shopping at Next offers a breath of fresh air for fashion-forward girlies looking to stay chic without overspending.

If you’re overwhelmed by the many dresses to choose from at Next, don’t worry. I’ve done the hard work for you and scoped out the crème de la crème. Scroll down to find out what these are. Next, find out the perfume and aftershave dupes we’ve found at Next that smell like your favourite designer scents. Also, learn if Next restocks sold out items or not.
