Midis and Minis: The Summer Style Staples You Need Now

Let’s talk midis and minis, because I’m team style and comfort, always. Midi dresses get a bad reputation for being matronly, but listen…when the cut, fabric, and silhouette are right, they’re anything but. Think flow, cinch, a little slit, a little cut out, a pop of shoulder or back, and now you’ve got a moment. Midis are perfect for summer when you want to feel pulled together but still breezy and comfy. I’ve been living in them. Brunch? Midi. Errands? Midi. Outside outside? Midi.

And let’s not sleep on mini dresses (and skirts) either. They’re not just for the ‘young people’ lol or the club. With the right fit, length, and design, a mini can elevate your whole look and highlight those legs. Minis can be sexy and classy. Fun and polished. Short doesn’t have to mean too much.

Let’s normalize dressing in ways that feel good on your body right now. Not for who you used to be or who someone else thinks you should be. You’re allowed to be grown, stylish, a little spicy, and still rooted in your personal style.

I’ve shared my personal lookbook, and I’ve rounded up some midi and mini picks that are giving all the summer feels — linked them for you below. Whether you're curating your capsule wardrobe or just looking to step outside your comfort zone, there's something here for you.
