Regarding dress styles, we’re not one to pick favourites. From a feminine mini dress that was made for the dancefloor or a flowing, elegant maxi dress that is perfect for long afternoons in the golden sun, you’ll find a range of styles on high rotation in our wardrobe. However, there’s no denying that the midi dress holds a special place in our hearts (and closets).
Known for its versatility, wide range of classic and fashion-forward styles, and flattering fit, the midi dress makes for an ideal pick that will see you the best dressed no matter the occasion. If you’re not yet convinced about why you need a midi in your wardrobe, we’ve created a list of key points to help sway your decision.
They come in a range of styles
From a figure-hugging bodycon dress to an elegant wrap dress that cinches and falls in all the right places, there’s a style of midi dress to suit every body shape, personal style, and occasion. For a casual, daytime look, choose a relaxed fit that is comfortable to wear while complimenting your frame. If you’re looking for a piece to wow at your next after-dark event, opt for a style that hugs your figure or features standout elements such as a low back, plunging neckline, or off-the-shoulder cut.

Choose a neutral shade such as black, brown, or nude in a lightweight fabric to keep you cooler in the warmer months.
