The Best Midi Dresses for Summer (2021)

The nap dress is here to stay.

If you haven’t tried out the breezy, comfy casual style of dress yet, check out this pretty option from Lilly Pulitzer. 

It features a beautiful floral pattern, embroidered in pink pastel against a 100% cotton base. The dress has built-in lingerie snaps (so it’s bra friendly!) as well as dainty flutter sleeves and a back tie to cinch in the waist.

What’s not to love?!

Madewell always has a great range of midi dresses.

This classic option features shoulder tie-straps, an allover floral print and a slight tiered skirt for a voluminous, breezy effect. 

Most of their dresses are made from 100% cotton, so breathable and comfortable enough for the heat!

Have a fun event to look forward to this summer?

Then check out this structured midi dress from Bardot. It’s lightweight, to balance the longer silhouette, and features adjustable spaghetti straps to achieve the perfect fit. 

The all white midi dress also has a low plunge neckline, side cutouts and high slit skirt for ease of movement and sexiness!

This feminine midi dress would fit in perfectly in the south.

With a swiss-dot print, soft cotton fabric and feminine ruffle detail, it’s pretty, it’s dainty and oh-so-girly. I love the longer short sleeves, square neckline and ruffled trim.

Wear this to a summer picnic or day date!

Summer also means… wedding season!

If you have any fun summer weddings to attend as a guest, this silky midi dress would be perfect.

I always love the simplicity of a slinky slip dress – they hug the curves and show off your figure without being too revealing!

This one features a muted spring green color that would be perfect for summer and fall events, and a sexy thigh high slit!

For a classic midi dress option, I love this satin Kate Spade dress.

It has a fit and flare silhouette, which is balanced by the longer midi length. The dark navy dress is sleeveless, to show off your toned arms, and has a higher jewel neckline, which would be perfect to show off your earrings.

Finally, the tiny boat print looks like classic polka dots from afar, but up close are a fun playful twist! 

I’m obsessed with this M.M.LaFleur midi dress, because the rich hibiscus color is just so eye catching!

I love the sleeveless silhouette and full skirt, which creates a ladylike look without being too conservative. 

The fabric is a thick, staccato knit that skims the body without being too clingy. And best of all, this midi dress is versatile!

It’d be absolutely perfect for the office if belted or worn with a blazer…  but change into strappy sandals and it’s dramatic enough to carry you into dinner and drinks.
