As the warm weather creeps ever closer, many of us will be looking to enhance our summer wardrobes. One staple that every woman needs is a good maxi dress that can be dressed up or down for different occasions. Maxi dresses are incredibly versatile items of women’s fashion clothing and look great on anyone, no matter what their age or body shape. There are now so many styles to choose from, in high street stores and from retailers of women’s clothing online, that finding the right one for you is no challenge at all, as long as your know what you’re looking for.
The main factor to consider is body shape, as this will affect the style and colour of maxi dress that is most suited to you. If you are of a small frame and petite build, it is best to avoid too much billowing fabric or big bold patterns as both of these are likely to swamp you and only make you look smaller. Instead, opt for something fitted like an empire line style to give the appearance of structure, and stick to block colours or simple designs.
For those of a curvier stature, dresses which skim the body will create an elegant silhouette and prevent the overall appearance being too boxy. In order to elongate the figure, v-necks are a good choice, and it is probably wise to stick to strappy dresses that have room for a hidden bra in order to support the bust.
Once you have found your perfect dress, enhance it with some sassy wedges and oversized accessories and you’ll be ready to head out in the sun when that summer weather finally arrives.
