Every time I buy a new dress, I think to myself, "OK, that's it, no more." Somehow, a week later, I fall in love with a new one I "need" again, which can be especially dangerous for my bank account with gifting season right around the corner. Currently, my obsession revolves around Banana Republic's [1] Fall and Winter dress selection. The store has so many beautiful choices that are great for work, the weekends, and all those fancy holiday events [2]. So if you're looking to spruce up your wardrobe without draining your funds, you've come to the right place; these options start at $99.
To save you valuable time, I curated a list of my 25 favourite picks of the season that the retailer has to offer. Including cosy sweater dresses [3] that will keep you equally warm and stylish, metallic ones you can wear while ringing in the new year, and even one that's been Duchess of Sussex-approved [4], there's no shortage of good finds ahead. Keep reading to shop them all and find your next holiday look (or an entire wardrobe's worth).
