Maxi dresses have become a year-round staple piece in our wardrobe. Flattering, feminine and easy to wear, they can be effortlessly thrown on when you’re pressed for time or dressed up for those days when you feel like stepping out in something special. Usually featuring an ankle or floor length A-line skirt, maxi dresses give the illusion of longer legs and an elongated figure. Paired with a cinched waist and elegant neckline, they complement every figure.
With an endless combination of silhouettes, fabrics and colours, a maxi dress will see you perfectly styled for any occasion, from indulging in a lowkey Sunday brunch to celebrating a summer afternoon wedding. We’ve put together some of our favourite looks with the versatile maxi to inspire your new season style.
Casual Sunday Brunch
The maxi dress is the answer to all of our last-minute style woes, providing the ultimate put-together look without the stress of trying on endless outfit options. In the warmer months, pair a breezy maxi with a pair of leather sandals and coordinating bag for an effortless Sunday brunch fit. As the weather cools down, layer a patterned or pastel dress with a washed denim jacket and finish the look with a pair of classic gold hoop earrings – maximum style with minimal effort!
Summer Wedding
As summer approaches, wedding season is in full swing and an elegant maxi is the ideal piece to celebrate two loved ones tying the knot. For a classy look that will take you seamlessly from the afternoon ceremony to the evening reception, choose a luxe fabric such as iridescent mesh or satin and pair with gold strappy heels and a coordinating gold clutch. Strapless or halter necklines add a feminine touch whilst maintaining an overall classy look.
Date Night
Feeling confident is the key to looking effortlessly beautiful, and with a style to flatter every body shape and colour to complement every skin tone, the maxi dress is always our go-to when we want to look and feel our best. Whether you’re planning a first date or heading to your favourite dinner spot with a loved one, a maxi will fit the brief no matter where your plans take you. Pair a classic white maxi with tan heels and a woven cross-body bag and complete the look with bronzed makeup and bouncy waves.
One of the most versatile and flattering styles, there’s always room in our wardrobe for another maxi. For a piece that will see you through the change in season and trends, opt for a colour that compliments your skin tone and a cut to accentuate your natural features and elongate your silhouette.
