With summer almost upon us, Next celebrates the key 2012 trends for dresses with the launch of their latest fashion video edit. The video showcases a fresh mix of SS12 and summer styles, from power prints to powdery pastels, structured designs to maxi dresses and floral prints to lace textures.

Firstly power print dresses are all about making a style statement this summer. With tropical flowers, geometric shapes and beautiful bird prints, next.co.uk's latest range ticks all the boxes. On the other hand, trends number two and three focus more on the shape of your dress. For hitting the beach or as a summer party dress, maxis are a fun and flattering solution. In contrast structured dresses make for a gorgeous outfit for a formal occasion or simply as a workwear essential.

Next up are the feminine favourites of pastels and florals. Think ditsy prints, vintage inspired floral motifs and Neapolitan ice cream pastels. Lastly is the timeless lace dress; of course even more popular in the fashion world due to the Kate Middleton effect. Along with LK Bennett and boutique collections at next.co.uk, all these trends can also be shopped in our stunning Lipsy London collection. Fashion favourite Lipsy dresses include spring chic crochet lace dresses, floral print playsuits and neon statement print bodycons.

Brimming with all the hottest trends, this season Next has all the best in the latest womenswear, menswear, children's and homeware. Love what you see?
