15. Gingham Midi Dress with a Belted Waist

15

Gingham is a classic print that evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia. For a midsize silhouette, a midi dress with a defined wrap waist or an elasticated smocked bodice works wonders. The smocking provides comfort and flexibility around the bust and waist, while the midi skirt drapes beautifully over the lower half of the body. Choose a gingham print in a medium scale—not too small, not too large—to complement your proportions perfectly. Add a leather belt to further define the waist, and pair with woven leather mules and a basket bag for an effortless weekend market look.
