Say farewell to the mini dress and hello to the midi dress. Shop for this season’s most coveted item online without breaking the bank.
Not yet in the loop with the midi dress? It all comes down to length – the hemline falls somewhere between your knees and lower calf muscles, a little longer than a classic pencil skirt and a little shorter than a maxi dress. The style lends itself to a chic, ladylike look. A slinky, all black, shoulder-baring number will carry you through a night out with the girls, or try light and bright tones for a fancy Sunday lunch. Sheer panelling, slim fitting, an array of prints – the midi dress trend is one to get on board with. Savvy fashionistas should invest in a dress that can work across different seasons and occasions. Throw a cute blazer over the top and you can wear a midi dress to the office, or style with leather pants and a jacket to take you through winter. This may just be the most versatile dress in your closet.
