Maxi dresses are one of the super trends this summer. While they’re a great stand-alone piece, when utilized properly, the maxi dress can become extremely versatile. From beach cover-up to office wear, this blog post will show you how to maximize the ways to rock maxi dresses, care of the collection at SammyDresses.
My favorite way to accessorize a maxi dress is to wear a button down shirt with rolled up sleeves over it. This negates some of the casualness of the dress, and adds structure to the outfit. You can tie the shirt-tails at the waist for a more relaxed look, or you can cinch it using a thin belt for a more office-appropriate look. Wear this with *heels or flats, depending on the venue.
The most common way to wear a maxi dress is as a beach cover up. Instead of taking a sun hat, try accessorizing with a loose crop top over the dress, for walking on the boardwalk or grabbing a bite to eat before heading out to the sand and surf. The crop top creates the illusion of a longer torso and keeps your shoulders from getting sunburned. Instead of a traditional beach bag, try a backpack, which is much easier to carry. The Danish brand, *Fjallraven, is Scandinavian-approved chic and is particularly durable. Flip flops by *Ipanema add a burst of color to the outfit.
To carry you over into autumn, try layering your maxi dress with a slouchy sweater and some ankle boots. Add some sparkle, like a *long necklace or a *large cuff to keep things interesting. During the day when it’s still warm, the outfit can stand alone without the sweater. In summary, the maxi dress is a versatile and staple article for the creative and stylish woman.
