Hey'all today my post is gonna be about maxi dresses! I love my maxis especially how they float around my ankles and can pull off the casual yet sophisticated look.. Bbbuuttt... Sometimes I find maxis give the wrong 'beachy' look or the loose fitting 'preggers' look for the wrong occasions..
Here are some tricks/ tips that I'm gonna share with you today about dressing up or down your maxi dress, so you'll achieve your desired look... The number 1 rule.. Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise..
Pick the right accessory.. And you can go from sleek and classy to trendy and chic...
The Beachy Look
Cotton dresses are the most comfortable and will create a casual look that is perfect for hot summer days
And to accessorise this look, long, tribal-inspired necklace worn with chunky wrist bangles! Gladiator sandals, wedges and open-toed heels are all popular choices for maxi dress footwear.
Elegant and Classy Look
To pull of a maxi dress for formal occasions, choose a dressier fabric such as silk or diaphanous material for a formal, evening look.
Go with solid colours for styling ease. With a solid colour, you are free to accessorise and personalise the look to suit your style. You can easily glamorise your outfit with bling bling accessorise and high heels. A clutch purse will definitely dress up the look. You might also want to cover your shoulders with a lightweight shawl or a nice-fitted blazer
Other tips and tricks to pull off a maxi dress:
To avoid looking like a tent try a maxi dress with a defined waist like for example empire waist, and if you need to minimise your tummy or the preggy look of an empire waist, wrap a basic belt around the thinnest part of your waist. Straight, A-line and bias-cut work best for petite ladies
If you have a wide or big bust, halter style or thicker straps will look flattering on you. For the plus-sized, medium to large prints will complement your figure a lot better than tiny ones, but solid, and neutral dark colours like black, dark brown and olive green are preferable to help slim down your shape.
