Not quite floor-length, but definitely above the knee, the midi dress is a sartorial sweet spot for those looking to move around comfortably and with flair. Whether it's cut in crochet, linen or poplin, it pairs well with summer picnics, alfresco dinners, museum dates, or beachside cocktails.

The eye-catching print and feminine silhouette of this Printed Shirtdress ($70) make it a worthy addition to our holiday wardrobe. It'll make everyone go, "where did you get that?"
