One of our go-to dress styles for any season and almost any occasion is the midi dress. With a flattering hem that finishes mid-calf and an endless array of fabrics, silhouettes, and shades, there’s a midi dress out there to suit everyone.
Whether you’re on the hunt for a new addition to your wardrobe or are looking for different ways to style your favorite piece, we’ve rounded up a selection of our top midi dresses and creative ways to add some flair to your fit.
Knit Midi Dress
Versatile and transeasonal, the knit midi dress comes in a range of fabrics, from heavier wools that are ideal for the cooler months to lightweight, fine knits perfect for summer.
Long Sleeve Midi Dress
Don’t be fooled by the long sleeves, as this style of midi dress can also be worn year-round. Look for a dress with a thicker fabric and deeper color tones in winter, and explore cutouts and breezy textures in the warmer months.

Silky Midi Dress
A silky midi dress is the epitome of opulence and glamour. Falling effortlessly over your figure, it can be accessorized to take you seamlessly from day to night and can be found in an array of shades, from versatile neutrals to bold bright tones.
Once you’ve chosen your ideal midi dress style, it’s time to style it to curate your own unique look and perfectly suit the season and occasion.
1. Shoes
The shoes you wear will depend on the occasion, time of day, and what makes you feel most comfortable. For an after-dark event that’s a little more glam, step out in a pair of heeled mules to give a polished look to your ensemble.
If you’re building a more laid-back daytime outfit, opt for comfortable slides or flat sandals.
2. Accessories
Accessories are the perfect way to dress up or down a versatile midi dress. Keep things casual by slinging your favorite everyday bag over your shoulder, or refine your look with a leather clutch bag tucked under your arm. Add a statement gold necklace or sparkling earrings to add some glamour as day turns to night.
3. Layers
Your favorite midi dress can see you through warm summer days and cool autumn evenings when styled with the right layers. Pair a midi dress with a distressed oversized biker jacket, boxy denim jacket, or faux fur to keep you feeling warm and looking stylish in the cooler months.
Experiment with different styles of midi dresses to find the one that makes you feel comfortable and confident, and play around with shoes, accessories, and layering to create your dream look depending on the occasion and season.
