Midi dresses are great all year round, but I think they do their best work during the summertime. Maxi dresses can get a little too warm when they’re covering you down to your ankles, and mini dresses are great for date nights or parties but not exactly functional for everyday errands or casual gatherings, especially when you want something a bit more buttoned up or conservative. Plus, there’s no shortage of on-trend midi dresses to choose from!

One example is this option by STAUD from Bloomingdale’s. The square neckline and full skirt keep it feminine, modest, and structured, but the khaki-green color I have on acts as a standout pop, and so does the pink Plumeria option they offer. STAUD is known for their ability to design vintage-inspired yet modern clothing, and this Wells Dress can go the distance whether you wear it to a fancy lunch, a weekend event, or even as summer workwear with a blazer or jean jacket!
