Best Lightweight Midi Dresses

There Is Such a Thing as a Lightweight Midi Dress — We Found 29 of Them

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

When I think of a midi dress, I think of lots of fabric, which, in theory, is the last thing I want to be wearing in the Summer. But, contrary to popular belief, a midi dress is actually a great option for the Summer. The trick is to find one made of lightweight fabric. Think cotton, linen, you know, your favourite fabrics. Easy and breezy, these are the 29 dresses worth wearing all Summer long.

What are we into right now? Sunny yellow styles, lots of summery stripes, and even options if you refuse to give up your favourite black dresses. Long sleeves, short sleeves, and even tank dresses: they all belong in your closet. Good luck picking a favourite!
