Midi dresses are one of my favorite pieces to wear because they're the perfect balance of casually understated and formally polished. There is so much room to discover varying silhouettes and details, all within the midi dress category, that it can be overwhelming to choose just one or a few.

Since there are a plethora of midi dresses available to shop online and in stores, we talked with style expert Julia Gudova. Having worked with international titles of Vogue and Elle along with celebrities like Irina Shayk and Elsa Hosk, Gudova is an expert on how to narrow down the wide selection of styles to find pieces that are specific to you.

Meet the Expert

Julia Gudova is an editorial and celebrity stylist and creative consultant. She is the founder of Style Up, a personal styling service based in New York City.

"The midi dress is the most universally flattering length of a dress—you can't go wrong with it whether you're tall or petite, size XS or XL," says Gudova. She also considers the dress' silhouette–whether it will elevate or simplify your look. She also notes that you shouldn't be afraid to try out new color tones and patterns. "Personally, I tend to choose solid colors, both neutrals, and the fun ones," she says. "But summer is a great time to experiment with print!"

What to Look for in a Midi Dress

Silhouette

It's no secret that there are hundreds are midi dresses on the market to choose from, but one way you can sort through the product is by silhouette. As Gudova mentioned, a dress silhouette can elevate or simplify the look you're going for. Taking that into account, it's worth it to examine whether you prefer a fuller, A-line shape that cinches at the waist and flares over the hips or a slimmer, body-skimming slip style dress that contours to your body's shape. Midi dresses come in both styles but can set the tone of your look for the day.

Material

Depending on the occasion, you'll need to be conscious of fabric composition. If it's a heavier material, it'll weigh you down (but also keep you warm if wearing in colder temperatures). Casual summer dresses tend to be crafted from cotton and/or linen, both breathable fabrics that can help keep you feeling cool and comfortable. On the other hand, a 100 percent silk midi dress is thermoregulating, versatile enough for year-round wear, and might be worth the extra investment.

FAQ

  • What is a midi dress?

    A midi dress is a dress with a length that's below the knee and above the ankles. "Think Queen Elizabeth," Gudova says.

  • What shoes do you wear with a midi dress?

    Since midi dresses are versatile no matter the season, you can wear almost any shoes with them. For cooler temperatures, Gudova loves pairing slouchy and over-the-knee boots with her dresses. In warmer weather, the stylist finds that it's easy to create a chic, effortless look with simple lace-up sandals.

  • How do you layer a midi dress?

    When it comes to layering your midi dress, it all depends on the dress itself. If your dress has a graphic print or is made of a fun fabrication (like sequins), you want to let the dress be the star of the show; the layers surrounding it should be understated, whether that's a coat, or jacket, or scarf. But if your midi dress is quite simple, you can layer it with an eyecatching blazer, a leather biker jacket, a fuzzy cardigan, or even sneakers.
