How We Style Our Maxi Dresses!

We went shopping last week and noticed so many adorable maxi dresses. What a classic staple they are in our spring and summer wardrobes. The are versatile too! If you are attending a dressier occasion like a shower or a ladies luncheon the maxi dress would be a perfect choice. On the other hand they are so comfortable you could certainly wear them for more casual outings. We love the loose and flowing fabric especially when it starts to warm up. Their loose and fluid design will allow for better airflow and keep you cool on even the hottest day!

We really feel that the maxi dress works for many different body types and many of the styles are available in petite. You will always look chic and fashionable and getting ready is easy..one and done!

What we like the most about maxi dresses is their seasonal adaptibility. You literally could wear the maxi dress from one season to another by layering and changing out your footwear.

Things To Consider When Styling A Maxi Dress!

Make sure you pair your maxi dress with a cropped denim or short leather jacket to balance out the look.

You can cinch the waist with a belt.

There are so many different shoes that look great with maxi dresses – sandals, wedges, ballet flats and a heeled ankle boots.

Throw on a stylish hat and sunglasses and you are good to go!!

We have put together a few boards to show you how to wear these incredibly versatile dresses.

How We Style Our Maxi Dresses

Style Board # 1

Earrings / Bracelet / White Purse / Sandal / Dress / Sunglasses / Earrings / Purse / Sandal

Nothing says summer more than a navy and white polka dot dress! This maxi dress has so many stylish details. The shoulder baring halter style adds a bit of sexy to the look. There is a defined waistband too. We styled it with white and also a more casual rattan look. This dress could easily be worn to a wedding or any special event you are attending this summer.

Style Board # 2

Dress / Hat / Jacket / Necklace / Earrings / Sandals / Bag

We really like this cute bubble dress from Evereve. It has a bubble hem perfect for those hot days in the summer. It has adjustable tie straps and smocking at the back. Best of all…it has pockets!!!! If it gets cool at night or if you are in those over air conditioned buildings the jean jacket would look so cute with the dress.

The Madewell bag is a straw bag and it has a slouchy silhouette. The beaded charm adds so much to this already fun bag.

Style Board # 3

Dress / Earrings / Bracelet / Hat / Purse / Sandals

Turquoise is a very popular color for the summer (we love it!). This adorable dress from Cleobella is so feminine and classic. We would wear this dress to lunch with friends! We love dresses in the summer.

Style Board # 4

Dress / Bangle / Earrings / Bag / Shoe

This dress is definitely in the bag! The Ginny maxi dress is crafted from soft jersey, flowing gracefully to the floor. A halter-style neckline accented with gold-tone hardware completes the elegant silhouette. It is constructed of a soft jersey fabric. It sports a racer back design with side pockets!

Style Board # 5

Dress / Wrap / Sandal / Purse / Earrings

Isn’t this a gorgeous dress? We love the flowy look of the pleated skirt on this Ralph Lauren Dress. Definitely a dress to be worn to a summer garden wedding or a charity event.

We are so excited summer is finally here. It is incredibly beautiful here in Michigan…the skies are blue and the temps are just at that perfect 75! Not too hot but just enough to enjoy outdoor activities. If you ever visit Michigan be sure to travel to Northern Michigan. It is absolutely stunning…all of our lakes add so much to the area.

Have a great day…thank you for reading and if you have any questions please leave in the comments below!
