Nothing says ‘hello summer’ like slipping into a full-length maxi dress paired with your favourite straw sun hat and flatform sandals, and stepping out into the warm sunshine. The beauty of a maxi dress is its versatility. Perfect for any occasion, a maxi dress can be your go-to for a lazy day at the beach, a coffee date, a garden party, or even a wedding. Whether you’re looking for a bold red maxi dress or one with a softer pastel tone, it's all about choosing the right style, fabric, and accessories to match the event.
WHERE TO WEAR YOUR MAXI DRESSES
Maxi dresses are the ultimate throw-on-and-head-out-the-door outfit. It might have a reputation as a dress for casual events, but with the right accessories, you can wear your maxi dress to any of the big events in your life.
Maxi dresses are a great choice for a wedding, where long dresses in soft, flowing fabric will always look good on the dance floor - whether worn as a guest or by your bridesmaid! They’re also a welcome choice for outdoor weddings or garden parties, especially in warmer weather. Choose a maxi dress made from lighter fabrics and in a billowing style to keep you cool and offer a little more protection from the sun. Long dresses are also a staple for many offices now, where a maxi dress in neutral colours, paired with a blazer and some heels, can create a casual yet professional look.
STYLING TIPS FOR MAXI DRESSES
-
Picking the right shoes: Your shoe choice can completely transform your maxi dress look. Pair with strappy sandals for a laid-back, summery vibe, or elevate your outfit with heels for more formal occasions. Even sneakers can work well with a maxi dress for a casual outing.
-
Hairstyle: Your hairstyle should complement the neckline of your maxi dress. An updo can accentuate a detailed or low-cut neckline, while loose waves or straight hair can soften the look of a high neckline.
-
Adding a pop of colour or print: If your maxi dress is solid, consider adding a vibrant accessory like a bold handbag or statement jewellery. If your dress is patterned, balance it with neutral-toned accessories.
