Flowing Midi Dresses: With a generous amount of fabric, this style of midi dress can be a great option for a lighter, carefree spring outfit or a flowy, breezy summer look. A long sleeve midi dress in this silhouette, especially one in a solid color, can give a touch of minimalist chic, while a floral midi dress in this shape is a perfect way to add some color into an outfit. And depending on the fabric, a floral midi dress in a flowing form can either lend your look a touch of casual dressiness or a more elegant look for dressier occasions. For those who may be concerned that these more flowing styles can overwhelm their frame, or look a little too comfy and tent-like for a more formal occasion, paired with a belt you can easily cinch the waist and break up the line of the dress to suit the occasion.

 

A-Line Midi Dresses: A-Line dresses are today a timeless classic - harkening back to Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent’s spring collections from the 1950s - and represent some of the most versatile and well-loved dress silhouettes. A midi dress in an a-line shape is fitted from shoulders to the waist before widening at the hem. This will give more definition at the waist than more flowing options, making them an easy choice as a centerpiece to an outfit. The Paisley Crochet Midi Dress is an elegant example of a long sleeve midi dress perfect for summer. Its balance of white crochet material against long bishop sleeves and a high neck. Equally, a floral midi dress in this shape will always be a great spring or summer option. Dressier fabrics can make a floral midi dress in this silhouette a beautiful garden party option. In a more casual material, it can make an excellent day dress.
