Maxi Dress

Like florals, another trend that is here for another season is the maxi dress. Now, also like florals, if not done correctly, a maxi dress can look matronly and old-fashioned. So, here are some tips...

If it's a really blousy dress, wear a waist belt so it doesn't add any weight. Or, if you need more arm coverage, top with a jean jacket or light-weight leather jacket. I think a maxi dress always looks better when worn with flats for a cool, casual look. And, be sure to choose a bright color or an updated print.

If you have a maxi dress from last season and want to update it for this season, try layering it with a new brightly colored or neon tank top or layer with two or three long necklaces. So jump into the warmer weather with a maxi!
