Why a Midi is The Perfect Dress – Whatever Your Style
Strategic Colour Blocking
Dresses with detailing up top are great for pear shapes, as they draw the eye upwards. Demi Lovato has opted for just this styling trick, with a fitted silhouette to emphasise her fabulous figure. She’s kept the sandals simple to let the dress do the talking.

Strapless Sweetheart
Is there anything better than a dress with pockets?! Alesha Dixon opts for a retro design in a strapless frock with a sweetheart neckline. Floral prints are a natural match for this shape, but this type of dress would also work well in bold block colours.

Sassy and Striped
A basic shape in an eye-catching pattern like, Alicia Vikander is wearing here is so easy to dress up or down. Add a pair of white trainers with a bright tote, and you’ve got the perfect brunch outfit – flared skirts allow more room for extra pancakes too!

Fitted With a Flare
A good way to start with a midi if you’re not used to this length is to start with a simple shape in a single colour, like Andrea McLean. A fitted top with a flared pleated skirt is universally flattering. Add glitzy accessories and you’re good to go.
