Midi mania! While we adore a maxi dress, most of them require taller heels or wedges — especially if you’re on the more petite side. That’s part of why we love midi dresses so much. You still get a good amount of extra length, but they’re short enough that you can totally wear flats!
These midi dresses will pair perfectly with flats, helping you stay cute, comfy and trendy this summer. Shop our 17 top picks below!
