If there was one trend last season that took both the runway and the high street by storm, it was the midi skirt.

Previously worn by those sporting blue rinses, Granny chic was given a fashion edge with sharp tailoring and neon colours. Last season’s offerings in midis and maxis showed us that there’s more to a skirt than a few inches. This season it’s still all about the midi, except now it’s the midi dress. If you were a fan of last season’s midi skirts, the midi dress is the perfect spring alternative.

The latest offerings come in the form of nineties grunge and nautical stripes, with Dolce and Gabbana as the first to tackle the trend with neon bodycon midi dresses. As long as your midi dress is full of Spring patterns, you're good to go.

If worn the right way, the midi dress is a wearable look that can be pulled off easily with a few choice accessories, and can be suited to either daytime or night time. Team with Converse for daytime, and switch it up for night time with chunky ankle boots or towering heels. If brave enough to go all out on the nineties grunge trend, pair your midi dress with Doc Martens for an authentic look. This style of dress is the perfect option for those looking for a new spring wardrobe, whilst still easing off the winter layers.
