The white midi dress is one of the best summer dresses you can own. Elegant and versatile, they can make knowing what to wear in the heat a breeze as they match and complement a variety of accessories, whether you’re dressing up for an event (bar a wedding, of course) or keeping it casual for everyday.
White midi dresses have been the standout, warm-weather hero of Wimbledon this summer, but Golda Rosheuvel found a way to make her style of choice stand out from the crowds. Wearing ME+EM’s mixed-media maxi dress, her tactile dress is made from a soft, breathable cotton bouclé-knit bodice, paired with a summery linen skirt.
The resulting look is like that of a two-piece – a top and a skirt – but without the hassle of having to actually mix and match. Adding playful pops of colour to her outfit, Golda chose a pair of pink Ganni buckled ballerina flats and 70s-style aviator sunglasses, the black frame beautifully contrasted with the orange-tinted lenses, giving her classic look a modern finish.
This fit-and-flare maxi dress from ME+EM is super flattering, thanks to its figure-hugging shape, floaty skirt, and square neckline. It's the contrast between the soft bouclé-knit cotton at the bodice and the 'Crease-Less Linen' fabric of the skirt that really boosts the style, though, creating a unique and tactile design.
There are hundreds of reviews raving about these sunglasses, with shoppers calling them 'fabulous' and pointing out that they look 'expensive' despite their affordable price tag. One person even said they are the 'best sunglasses I've ever had.'
Similar to the way that Golda's Ganni flats blend a slingback style with buckle fastenings, these M&S shoes bring a lace-up design to the classic ballet flat. The result is a unique and modern-feeling shoe that's elevated and chic.
Like Golda's ME+EM dress, this midi from Mint Velvet is elevated by the visual separation of the bodice and skirt that helps to create a figure-flattering shape. The design ends up feeling ultra-modern but also timeless, with the sleeveless, maxi silhouette effortlessly easy to dress up or down.
With anti-UV400 protection, these sunglasses are practical as well as stylish. It is their modern interpretation on the vintage pilot glasses design that makes them standout, with the black and orange colourway being a bold and eye-catching choice.
Like Golda's Ganni pumps, these ones from Dune London come in a stunning blush pink hue and boast a slingback heel to give their flat design added interest. The rest of the look is super minimal, making these a versatile accessory to dress up or down across the summer months.
When it comes to great dresses in the summer, you cannot go wrong with a white midi style. A true hero in summer capsule wardrobes, no matter if you opt for a more unique style like Golda’s or a timeless cotton midi shirt dress, you’ll have found a staple that can be dressed up or down for nearly every occasion the season can throw at you.
Styled with flats like Golda’s or your most comfortable sandals, a raffia tote and a fine-knit cardigan, you’ve got an elevated everyday look. Meanwhile, a pair of espadrilles, court heels, or some strappy sandals can effortlessly transition a timeless white dress from work to smart casual outfit ideas and beyond.
Of course, you can keep things neutral and understated when it comes to styling a white midi dress, but when your outfit is simple in its shape and tone, opting for a bolder shoe is a great way to inject playfulness and fun into your look. Golda does this brilliantly with her pink flats, which play into the blush tone that’s dominating spring/summer fashion colour trends for 2026. And pink shoes can be more versatile than you think. Adding a soft touch against denim jeans, they also look great with pastel hues for a colour combination loved by stylists in warmer weather.
