From floaty and floral to classic cord styles, these high street options will work for both day and nighttime. Here’s Stylist’s edit of the best midi dresses to shop this season.
When it comes to those pieces in your wardrobe that do it all, midi dresses really are the dream one-stop outfit. They’re effortlessly easy to throw on – even when you’re in a rush in the morning and can barely get out the door in time – leaving you feeling put-together with minimal effort.
Their mid-length silhouette offers just the right amount of coverage to keep you cosy without feeling overly bundled. A genuine saving grace on those days when there’s a nip in the air that later transitions to stuffy heat.
But how to wear them? The options are limitless. Midi dresses are great for layering. To keep warm with the changing temperatures, accessorise by adding tights, wool scarves and knitwear – we could go on.
From ditsy prints and corduroy to classic wrap styles, there are so many midi-dress options available on the high street. These are our picks of the best ones to shop now.
