|---|---|---|
| Best for | Dramatic, elegant, coverage | Modern, versatile, easy movement |
| Occasions | Weddings, beach, evening | Office, brunch, everyday |
| Season | Great with layers year-round | Shines spring & fall |
| Height tip | Petite: add heels & high waist | Flatters most heights easily |
| Shoes | Sandals, wedges, tall boots | Heels, flats, ankle boots |
Quick way to decide
Want elegance and coverage, or dressing for a special occasion? Go maxi. Want everyday versatility and easy movement — especially for work? Go midi. Many wardrobes want one of each.
