Spring might be on the horizon, but we are finding it hard to replace our winter wardrobe just yet. No, midi dresses, jackets, and deeper hues are all here to stay for a little while longer. And we're glad for it, since midi dresses have got to be one of the hardest-working garments in anyone's clothing collection.

They make the perfect wardrobe staple for changing seasons, when the weather is constantly keeping us guessing. For the colder days, pair your dress with tights (that won't ladder) and a jumper to keep yourself cosy. Or for those rare, and blissful sunny moments, a pair of trainers and a light jacket over your shoulders will do!

Mango

That's why we are loving this piece from Mango. The dress is asymmetrically ruched at the waist, creating a seriously flattering fit by hugging and cinching in all the right places. Not to mention the colour is seriously on trend. We have been obsessed with the wine tone for some time now, and can't see it dropping out of style anytime soon.

This piece is one of those items of clothing that you can reach for no matter the occasion. Dresses have long been championed as the 'throw it on and *voila*!' formula we can always rely upon, and this burgundy number is no exception. You can take the piece from office to date night with just a change of shoes and a swipe of red lipstick. Or throw on a longline trench coat, and you're ready for a day mooching the shops. Whatever your mood, schedule, or vibe, it's a reliable and stylish option that will leave you looking and feeling your best.
