Whether denim, cotton, gingham, or satin, midi dresses are perfect for spring, especially when paired with the aforementioned boxy leather jacket, driving loafers, or white sneakers. And when (sadly) winter makes its return, there are plenty of ways to keep wearing your midi dress even when it’s cold.
