Think longer dresses are just for evening? Think again. With the same elegance as an evening gown, in more relaxed silhouettes and fabrics, maxi and mid-length dresses are easy, comfortable options for any occasion. (We especially love wearing them when the temperatures spike.) And the best part? They are extremely versatile. Add strappy wedges and a sleek clutch and you have the perfect date night outfit. And paired with a cropped denim jacket and a pair of gladiator sandals, the maxi becomes your Sunday brunch uniform. If we were you, we’d snatch up several—you’ll want to live in these dresses all summer long. The details: Designers include Isaac Mizrahi, Nicole Miller, Ellen Tracy and more. Our editor Nicole shares the five different dress styles that should be in every closet on our blog, theFIX.
