How to Style a Midi Dress: Top Tips from Nadine Merabi

A midi dress is a very popular choice for women across the country as a staple item of clothing. The various scenarios in which a midi dress thrives are impressive but make a lot of sense. The ‘between the ankle and knee’ hemline makes the midi dress just as at home at a cocktail party as it is in the office, depending on the style of your dress and how you accessorise it. If you’re looking for some new, creative ways on how to style a midi dress, you’ve come to the right place as this guide from NADINE MERABI has all the answers. 


Learning how to style a midi dress

With the versatility of a midi dress, there are countless ways to style your outfit however you choose. A midi dress works as a blank canvas for you to dress up as casually or smartly as you’d like. We’ve put together some of our best ideas below for you to get inspired and discover fresh ways on how to style a midi dress:

  • A midi dress in the cooler seasons
  • Smart and formal
  • Date night-ready with a leather jacket

A midi dress in the cooler seasons

Because of their hemline height and flowy nature, you may mistakenly think that the midi dress is reserved solely for when the sun is shining in the warmer seasons. However, it isn’t very difficult to carry over the midi dress into autumn and winter. All it takes is the right accessories to pull off a midi dress outfit in the cooler seasons that is both practical and chic.


Wrap up warm and add plenty of layers to your midi dress to bring it into autumn or winter. Try the OLIVIA blue dress to match the look and feel of the crisp weather and add cosy items such as a scarf, thick cardigan or sweater vest to keep you warm. 

Smart and formal

As mentioned earlier, the midi dress can be styled in a variety of different ways that allow it to work both as a smart outfit centrepiece and a garment for letting loose in too. If you’d like to take your midi dress in a more formal direction, this sort of styling benefits most from understated and minimalistic outfit choices. For example, small but notable jewellery choices such as an intricate pair of stud earrings would go well with a reserved midi dress.


To get you started with your formal fit, we recommend choosing the NINA white dress as the neutral foundation for this look. Its pearl shimmer white sequin makes this midi dress and ​​detachable diamanté strap detailing gives it an elegance that is minimal but won’t go unnoticed.

Add a sophisticated and stylish blazer on top, such as the crystal embellished KIRA black blazer, and you’ll have the perfect look assembled for your next professional meeting.

Date night-ready with a leather jacket

To add some edge to your next date night look, combine your midi dress with a leather jacket. This look can transform even the most formal of midi dresses into an outfit that will make you stand out from the crowd. You can choose how bold you want this look to be depending on your preferences. Go for an all-black fit with a black leather jacket for a sleek look, or choose a more colourful jacket if you prefer a vibrant style.


Whether your jacket happens to be understated or showy, the ROCHELLE tiger dress will easily pair with a leather jacket. Its fun and adventurous tiger pattern embellished sequin design will complement the jacket’s tough aesthetic effortlessly to leave your date in awe.
