The best midi dresses you can wear anywhere this spring
Chic and versatile enough to wear into the next season.
A midi dress has quickly become one of the most versatile pieces in our wardrobe. Season after season, no other item in there will work quite as hard for you, transitioning perfectly from day to night and smart to casual, with a quick switch of shoes and accessories.
Pair with white trainers for a chic, off-duty look or add heels to dress your outfit up from daytime into the evening in a matter of seconds. Midi dresses really can be worn at any time of year, even when the sun is shining, and are great for those who are looking for a more casual and playful option than a maxi dress. In the cooler months, you'll still get plenty of use of your springtime midis, and can pair them with tights and knee high boots.
Trust us, if you are going to snap up one item right now to see you through all the seasons in style, then the midi is it. Whether you're looking for a wear-anywhere piece you can throw on for weekend brunches or a smarter outfit for that easter gathering you are hosting and days back at the office, a dress will quickly become your new style best friend.
