Why Every Woman Should Own A Maxi Dress
Maxi dresses are no longer a trend but a perennial staple, and contrary to what people think, the maxi suits all shapes and sizes, not just the tall and willowy types. The long maxi dress has been resurrected from the 70s, and fits in perfectly with the 70s-themed fashion that is so popular in women's fashion at the moment.
The best trait of the maxi dress is that it’s effortless - slip it on, and look instantly stylish, no effort required. Maxi dresses are flattering and forgiving, and will cover up any lumps or bumps you don’t want to show.
You shouldn’t be put off wearing a maxi dress if you have a petite frame - they look effortless and chic on all shapes and heights, if you are under 5’5 it’s worth teaming your maxi with clothing that will give you the illusion of height. For example, you could pair your maxi dress with a cropped jacket and chunky heels to lengthen a petite frame. It’s best way to keep away from overly floaty styles and maxis with large prints, as these can overwhelm a small frame (no one wants to look like they’re wearing a tent). A low-cut v-neck will makes the upper half of your body look longer so you might want to search for a maxi that will create length on both halves. If you have a larger bust opt for an empire waist to accentuate your curves.
For taller ladies maxi dresses will probably be around the right length but you can always browse the specialist tall ranges online or on the high street if you’re struggling to find a dress that falls on your ankles. You should avoid wearing a maxi dress that doesn’t reach your ankles as they are supposed to be long and flowing.
A lot of maxis come in paisley prints and boho styles but that doesn't mean you have to be a 70s free-lovin' hippy to wear one - you can opt for a plainly coloured maxi and add refined accessories for a more chic and sophisticated evening look.
Another key feature of the maxi dress is its versatility. A maxi can be worn for casual day wear with a pair of chunky wedges, or can be worn as an elegant evening dress with a smart cropped blazer and strapped wedge heel sandals.
Maxi dresses are perfect for any occasion, and are cropping up more and more at weddings. A maxi is perfect attire for a wedding but you need to make sure you dress it up so you don’t look casual. Opt for a classy, feminine-looking maxi - floral prints always go down well at weddings but maybe you could choose just one block of colour to stand out from the crowd? Accessorise your maxi dress with sexy wedges or beautiful gladiator sandals, and think about keeping your shoulders warm with a smart cropped blazer or pretty bolero.
Maxi dresses are so popular for a number of reasons - they are versatile, effortless, comfortable to wear, fashionable, come in varied price ranges and celebrities are often seen wearing them.
