The maxi dress is a multi-tasking garment that can take you from work to the park, from the beach to the bar and even to a summer wedding. Needless to say, we love them! The dress works with chunky heels, gladiator sandals or any jewelled sandal is great, ones that are fastened at the ankle ideally because a flip flop style could catch the hem of your dress under your foot. If you want to add some height then opt for the shoe-of-the-moment, wedges.
Knowing that you really can wear your maxi dress anywhere, it’s definitely worth investing in one.
Tips:
1. The ideal length should hit your shoe when wearing flats.
2. Make sure to find a dress that is more fitted around the chest area or an empire waist to at least give your body some shape.
3. If you’ve got some hips and stomach don’t pick a dress that’s too voluminous or has too much fabric because that will add to the “tent” factor.
4. If you’re lacking in the height department make sure to find a dress that isn’t too long, fix your hemlines so you don’t lose any more inches from your petite stature, I would recommend pairing your maxi with a chunky heel since this dress tends to make small girls look microscopic with all the fabric
5. Don’t match this long flowing dress with an oversized coat or long sweater, instead opt for a cropped bolero or fitted cardigan to prevent yourself from looking too grungy.
6. Prints are big news, go for tribal, digital or tie dye for maximum style points.
