The Maxi Dress -
Here are the top 5 reasons to own this seasons throwback trend that has been revived.
1) It’s current, happening and stylish.
2) It’s comfortable – and easy to wear.
3) It transitions easily from day into night.
4) It’s easy to pack for vacation.
5) It’s a flattering style on most body types.
My recommendations when searching for your great maxi dress (or multiple) dresses. Look for a more neutral or quiet print. Stay with a dress that hits to the ankle for daytime and dont be afraid to layer it with a colored tank. I HIGHLY recommend a flip flop or simple flat sandal during the day.
In the evening, take that same dress, layer with a cardigan and jewelry and for shoes wear a pretty wedge heel. You can also layer the dress with a nice lightweight scarf and chunky bracelet.
If you are attracted to a bolder printed maxi, be careful that the print isnt too abstract. This could take away from the dress itself.
Where to find the best maxi: many of your local boutiques carry this trend as do stores like Target and Nordstrom. My favorite website is http://www.shopstyle.com. They have an amazing assortment of these dresses.
