How to Wear a Maxi Dress
Great lengths are making a striking comeback this season. In true bohemian fashion, spice up your wardrobe with fabulous maxis that can be pulled off in an instant. The glamorous combination of floor-grazing hemlines and vibrant prints brings together a look that exudes confidence, elongates the figure, and provide an excellent balance of modesty with subtle sultriness. With minimum effort, this lengthy frock can create a maximum impact. Anyone can rock a maxi, young and old, tall and petite, slim and chubby. So don’t worry, there’s always a maxi for all shapes and colors.

For casual occasions, wear your maxi dress with a flattering or embellished sandal for a summery look. If you need to put on some height, try wearing a nice fancy wedge. For formal occasions where you want to be dressier, then the stiletto is the way to go. Just make sure that the floor-sweeping length doesn't really drag the floor, otherwise, you will look real sloppy or be in a total disaster.
With the maxi’s long flowing silhouette, important details are embodied on the upper half of the dress. Usually, the top portions are fitted on the bust or on the waist. Thus, when choosing a maxi, make sure it fits your upper body perfectly. Make sure the bust area is about the right size to avoid dragging the entire dress down. For strapless maxis, watch out for bodice that makes the perfect fit – too tight makes your skin pop out from the sides and too loose only means trouble.
Never go overboard and tacky with your maxi. Maxi dresses makes a statement from its long silhouette and elegant prints, so don’t go for more ruffles, bell sleeves, bows and more fancies. Do not overkill with accessories like fedoras, furs, or funky beads. Retro and maxis just don’t blend well. If you want to accessorize, think modern and chic. Sleeker accessories can update the maxi look with effortless drama.
Maxis are ultra refreshing and breezy. It can go overtime from formals to casuals. It is simply an all-season staple, so never hesitate to wear one! A touch of make-up and nice colored nails along with your maxi, and you’re all set to go.
