20 OF THE BEST MIDI DRESSES​

​

The long and the short of it? The best midi dresses are this summer's most stylist everyday options. 

​

Historically the midi dress hasn't been considered the most exciting sartorial option, thanks to the somewhat lazy assumption that it lacks both the drama of a maxi and the raciness of a mini dress. However, in recent seasons it has gone from fail-safe to bona-fide closet essential.

​

Unsurprisingly, women have spearheaded this change, with female-led labels including Rixo, Emilia Wickstead and Johanna Ortiz leading the charge. What these designers have recognised is that the midi dress boasts unparalleled wear-with-anything, to any-event properties, making it precisely the kind of piece that every woman ought to have at hand.
