Always trendy and so versatile, maxi dresses are an integral part of the wardrobe all year round. But the question of how to choose a maxi dress for the season or an event can be tricky, especially if you don’t usually wear it. There are many ways to wear a floor-length dress that suits your style and body shape, no matter the season or occasion.
MAXI DRESS STYLES FOR CASUAL LOOK
If you’re planning on wearing a maxi dress during the day, you need a casual, versatile dress that doesn’t restrain your moves. I advise you to choose plain designs with a seam at the waist, an airy skirt and elbow-length sleeves, straight shirt dresses or loose A-line dresses with a waist band. These styles look great with sneakers and a casual handbag or flat ankle boots, an eco leather jacket and sunglasses. If you’re looking for a maxi dress that matches the office dress code, opt for pastels, smooth fabrics, small prints, and style your look with minimalist accessories, a belt, and ankle boots..
EVENING MAXI DRESS STYLES
For those who want a classic long dress for an evening event, a more formal maxi dress is the best option. For an elegant evening look, choose a bold color or print on a luxurious fabrics such as lace, velvet, silk or satin. Whether you’re going to a party or are invited to a wedding, a beautiful evening gown can add sophistication to your look. Floor-length dresses look great with high-heeled shoes, catchy accessories and bright makeup. The most winning styles of evening dresses are a slip dress, a dress with puff sleeves and the cuffs, a dress with a flare skirt and a V-neck.
HOW TO CHOOSE ACCESSORIES FOR A MAXI DRESS
If you’re wearing a loose cotton or jersey maxi dress, a belt at the waist will help style your outfit and flatter your figure, especially in an A-line dress. Whether you’re on a business trip to the city or planning to dine with friends, simplicity is key. Pair your maxi dress with a simple bracelet, stud earrings and long necklace, choose a shoulder bag or tote bag for a casual and chic look. If the day is a little colder or you will be outside in the evening, then the perfect jackets for maxi dresses are denim or biker jackets, a light cardigan or a fitted blazer.
