Ultimate Dress Length Guide: Mini, Maxi, and More

Mini dresses are the ones that scream, “She’s got legs and she knows how to use them!"

They usually are around midthigh in length. They are fun for lots of occasions like a girls night out, dancing, a dinner date, and more! BUT it's important to note that they may not be appropriate for all occasions haha! Like maybe if you are going to meet your boyfriends family, maybe a midlength or maxi dress is a safer choice!

I got your back girl!

Mini length dresses can be worn all year but most popular in the summer to cool down! If your wanting to wear in the cooler months maybe you would add a cute jacket for some layers and ankle boots. Even adding neutral colored tights would be perfect. For warmer months I would opt for a fun summer color like pink or yellow!

I think you could guess by the name that this length hits right around the knees!

Knee length dresses give you a perfect combo of cute and fun but also can add a professional element.

Knee length dresses can be worn at anytime. You could keep it casual and add a denim jacket with sneakers or you could dress it up with some heels and gold jewelry.

This type of dress is perfect to wear as a bridesmaid dress, a church event, a cute picnic in the summer, a get together with family or friends, and a dinner night out!

Midi dressesusually lands right at shin length between your ankles and your knees.

If you're a taller person, the dress will likely land a little higher. If you're on the shorter side, expect the dress to be a tad longer. That also goes with any dress you get!

These dresses can come in all sorts of styles like an off the shoulder style, or a slit in one of the legs, or they come in a more modest style like the one shown in the picture!

I would style this dress with a cute sandel or heel. Also adding a simple handbag with some gold jewelry!

Now what occasions is the midi length dress good for? Lots! Its perfect for attending a wedding, a lunch/dinner date, family pictures, or just a casual day in the life!

A maxi dress is ALWAYS a good idea in my opinion! Maxi dresses usually hit right around the ankle.

They might just be the most popular type of dress in our dress length guide!

Maxi dresses are so fun to wear! You can style them in so many different ways. On a casual side I would wear a cute sandle and keep it simple with some little jewelry. Also in the colder months you could add a cute long sleeve shirt underneath or you could just add a jacket on top! They can be worn all year long!

These dresses can be worn to any event from weddings to the beach to the office. The options are endless! I love wearing a flowy maxi dress to the beach over my swimming suit or when im going out to dinner with my friends!

Floor-length dresses are just as it sounds. The dress is usually down to the floor covering up your shoes (so maybe you can get away with wearing those comfy slippers haha!).

I would save a floor length dress for a more special occasion! These types of dresses would pair perfectly with a cute simple handbag, some fancy elegant jewelry, and a slicked back look with you hair is one of my favs!

I would wear a floor-length dress to an event like a wedding as a wedding guest, a fancy dinner night out, or some kind of work meeting or event!
