@emmarosestyleStyle Notes: I live in my Gucci loafers, but something I never know is if they suit my midi and maxi dresses. What I have realised, however, is that chunky loafers that help to balance out the fabric and silhouette of midi dresses work especially well.
If you're looking for a way to ground a floaty summer dress, loafers are the way to do it.

@abimarvelStyle Notes: Nineties-style kitten-heel slingbacks are all the rage this season, with Gucci's crystal-encrusted pair continuing to win over the style set. Although delicate, they work well with midi dresses, as the open back stops them from looking clunky.

@monikhStyle Notes: Birkenstock Bostons are a hot-ticket item this season, and I have a feeling as to why: their versatility. Naturally, they pair seamlessly with jeans and even puddle pants, but as Monikh demonstrates here, they also look the stylish part worn with midi dresses.
I invested in a Cubi handbag earlier this year, and it's the perfect style for carrying all my essentials.

@oliviafaehStyle Notes: Trainers and dresses are a combination Brit girls love to wear, and while I don't think there's a combination that you can go wrong with, I am partial to midi dresses styled with high-top trainers, such as Converse. Like boots, they create a more seamless finish.
Fashion people have been showing Converse trainers serious love this season.

@smythsistersStyle Notes: If you're worried your midi dresses don't look particularly "cool," a pair of chunky, lug-sole boots will sort that out immediately. Plus, they'll be your saving grace on any questionable weather days.
The height of these Chelsea boots will help to keep the chill at bay, as they should sit just where your midi dress lands.

@styleidealistStyle Notes: Be it a wedding to attend or a night out to prep for, my go-to outfit always consists of a midi dress and strappy sandals. Sandals in classic colours will complement just about any midi dress style I can think of; I prefer to style mine with A-line dress silhouettes, just as Karina has here.

@jen_wondersStyle Notes: If you're petite like me, try balancing out longer midi hemlines with a pair of platform shoes. For the cooler months I recommend doing so in boot form, but for right now, platform sandals will work just as well.
This pair comes in classic white and black, plus bold yellow and pink.

@sasha.meiStyle Notes: Knee boots work with just about any skirt and dress silhouette going, but they look their sleekest with midi styles, which reveal a flash of what's underneath.
