A printed midi dress in navy reads more interesting than solid navy without sacrificing any professional quality because the pattern adds visual depth while the navy keeps everything grounded. Prints in navy read as professional rather than casual which means these dresses work for office settings and transition to evening wearing easily. The pattern also means you can wear the dress more frequently because the visual variety keeps it interesting even when you are repeating the same piece. Printed navy also photographs well which matters when you are wearing the same dress repeatedly and want it to read as fresh. We focus on versions where the print is balanced and does not read as busy and the navy base is dark enough that the pattern actually reads clearly against it. These are the navy printed midi dresses that prove a good pattern in navy reads as sophisticated rather than decorative.
