The Fail-Safe Dress Style Fashion Editors Turn to Every Summer
Ah, the humble midi dress. It is undeniably one of the most versatile items that anyone can have in their wardrobe. Do you need an easy throw-on option for weekday mornings? Choose a midi dress. Are you looking for a way to feel polished but still comfortable? Wear a midi dress. Do you crave the simplicity of an all-in-one outfit? May we suggest a midi dress?
Transcending traditional fashion seasons, midi dresses are one of those staples that could be worn for just about any occasion. For example, a black, puff-sleeve midi could easily take you to a formal event with the addition of some heels and jewellery but could also be worn for weekend brunch when paired with sneakers and a denim jacket. As you can see below, the item looks just as good with strappy heels as it does when worn with sandals (or slippers at home).
Sure, midis can be worn all year round, but spring and summer are the seasons when they really shine. Created in a variety of colourful prints and bright shades, the midis of spring/summer 2020 have personality aplenty. From feminine, puff-sleeve varieties to sleek knit iterations, there's a dress for every style and preference.
You might think a dress is a little too high-maintenance to wear at home, but many of the styles we have found are as comfy as a nightie. Personal favourites include an & Other Stories' wrap midi dress and Topshop's linen-blend midi dress. Keep scrolling for more.
