Midi-Length Lunch Date Dress Ideas

When it comes to lunch date dress ideas, make midi-length silhouettes your go-to. Made to flatter and accentuate your figure, these styles will have you feeling your most stylish and put-together self every time. Not to mention, with designs as pretty as the Laraline paisley jacquard midi dress by Current Air to choose from, you’ll be reaching for these silhouettes all season long. Firstly, the long blouson sleeves are perfect for cooler temperatures this time of year. Secondly, the paisley green shade will add a welcome hint of color to your fall/winter closet. Pair this dress with knee boots and a chic designer bag. Preferably, the Jane Botta 55 suede knee boots by Christian Louboutin and the Vela small woven leather shoulder bag by Etro. This outfit will see you stylishly through countless off-duty plans for months to come.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something a little dressier for a truly luxurious lunch date look to Self Portrait. Their stunning black and white tiered dress might just be my favorite midi of the year so far.  So, accentuate the classic polka dot print, ruffled tiers, and floral embellishment with the right designer bag and shoes. I highly recommend the GG Milano small leather shoulder bag by Gucci and Aquazzura’s Alex Riviere 85 suede mules.

Sleek Block Color Lunch Date Dress Ideas

Some of my favorite lunch date dress ideas are the most simple ones. For an eternally sleek lunchtime look, pair the Diana maxi dress by Current Air with simple heels and a clutch. For example, the Seraphine pumps by Gucci and the Mini Le bucket bag by Saint Laurent.

Finally, the ruffled mini sweater dress, also by Current Air, is the only black mini dress you need for weekend plans this season. Firstly, it’ll go with every bag and pair of shoes you already own. Secondly, styled with Givenchy’s Nano Voyou bow bag and the pointed-toe booties by Gucci it’ll be your go-to, throw-on lunch date ensemble from now until the spring..
