Other basics: You can wear a midi dress in autumn with cardigans, short-sleeved sweaters, leather jackets or a glamorous cashmere shawl for special occasions.

Accessories and hairstyles: Depending on the occasion in which you will wear the midi dress, you can wear simple but quite elegant accessories. For example, for a special occasion in the afternoon you can wear a pearl necklace, hair pulled back in a ponytail and with a shiny ring.
