I've always loved wearing dresses, but I recently realized that most of my collection is for work or events and not so much for lounging at home. (Sweatpants usually serve that purpose for me.) These days, I'm working on changing my dressy-to-casual dress ratio since I spend so much time in my apartment working from home. I'm still holding on to my special occasion pieces for wedding season, but it's all about easy, breezy dresses right now.
It's not hard to quickly determine what kind of dress would be comfortable for lounging at home. We're talking stretchy, loose, soft, and unfussy pieces that are easy to slip on and off. To that end, I've rounded up 25 of my favorite casual midi dresses.
