Happy Fri-yay! Who’s excited for the weekend?
The end of the workweek is something we always look forward to, as we shed our 9-to-6 persona so that we could just chill all weekend long. Switching gears like that normally means we ditch our office wardrobe for our laid-back pieces. And by laid-back, I don’t necessarily mean a ratty t-shirt and pajama shorts. That is, unless your plans consist of binging on takeout and Netflix.
For the rest of us that have plans of being out and about, we like to wear easy, breezy pieces that will last us through to the evening, if necessary. Perhaps one of the most popular items that check off all the boxes is the midi dress.
A one-piece outfit that can be found in a myriad of styles for various occasions, midi frocks boast of the perfect length for comfort; it’s neither too short that you risk showing more than what you bargained for when the wind comes sweeping in, nor is it too long that you end up trapping heat in your skirt. It’s completely effortless, until you put it on and realize you’re not entirely sure what shoes would be appropriate for this kind of hem.
The length tends to throw people off, as the midi places a stronger focus on footwear in comparison to other hems, with the maxi almost completely covering your feet, while shoes are secondary to the mini as more attention is paid to the dress itself.
Don’t let the midi intimidate you! Your shoe collection is full of options that would do your midi frock justice.
Here are a few midi-and-shoe pairings to hopefully give you some inspiration for styling your dresses:
Striped midi with white leather sneakers
Happen to have a white striped frock? Whether it’s the Summer striped halter midi dress, off-shoulder midi, or a backless long-sleeve, stripes are a perfect match for the casual white sneaker. What is perfect about white kicks is its ability to match with any midi, but it works especially well with prints, patterns and anything loud, as the shoes dial back the craziness of the piece. Thus, any time you want to dress down a midi, Casual leather sneakers should do the trick.

Basic t-shirt midi with flat slides
Maybe you’re more into solid hues and basic silhouettes. If you have the Cap sleeve jersey bodycon midi dress or anything similar, try going for something simple, such as flat slides. Although you can totally dress these up with some peep-toe pumps, these Mocha two straps sandals are totally made for a chill weekend. Think of slides as the slippers you can wear outside of the house, the alternative to your flip flops that you should really be only wearing at the beach. Plus, with slides, you never have to worry about snapping your tsinelas and awkwardly walking to the closest shoe store to replace them.

Midi scarf dress with strappy sandals
As for your scarf midis, or dresses that look like a combination of separates, go with strappy sandals. Heeled sandals are a great pairing with the Korean soft touch midi dress, especially if you need an outfit slightly dressier than the previous two. If you’re still not the best in walking around in heels, go for the High heel block sandals. The chunky heel offers more stability and comfort than thinner ones. Flat lace-up sandals are also another option, though some people prefer heeled sandals for the sake of elongating their legs.
No matter if you choose a kitten heel, high heel, or a flat sandal variety, the key is in the detailing at the ankle. The only kind of sandals you want to avoid with midis are gladiators. These sandals look much better with knee-length and mini hems, as they showcase enough leg for the gladiators to be on full display.
