Mini

As long as you wear it the right way, a mini dress is office appropriate. A mini dress is a simple solution for the hot summer months, and great to transition into fall with a pair of dark tights and boots. A mini dress is versatile — but it is important to keep these tips in mind:

  • Wear comfortable shoes like loafers or mules when wearing your mini dress. Comfort is key to every outfit!
  • Add a polished and sophisticated jacket on top.  A structural blazer is a great option for a more professional look.

Midi

One of the most popular trends right now are midi dresses, they are making a comeback in a big way. Midi dresses are great because they are comfortable and versatile. Make sure you wear your midi dress with statement shoes. The below-the-knee length draws attention to shoes — so make sure they are your favorites! Midi dress can be worn with a sweater or a leather jacket to transition from a work to night outfit.

Maxi

Long dresses are a great option when the summer weather gets too hot to handle. Try a maxi dress with sneakers for an enjoyable, relaxing outfit. A maxi dress is perfect for boss ladies on the go because you can get ready in 5 seconds by completing the look with a cropped denim jacket. Long dresses can be as casual or as fancy as you make them.
