Whether light and floaty or structured and smart, maxi dresses have been big news in the fashion world for the past few summers – so it’s safe to say they’re here to stay. Versatile, flattering and lots of fun to wear, maxi dresses have become every fashion editor’s go-to item for effortless summer elegance, as their loose-fitting style helps to keep you cool whilst providing plenty of coverage.
However, if you’re yet to add one to your wardrobe, now is the perfect time to start your summer maxi dress search, so let’s look at this season’s must-have styles.
Monochrome Chic
The key to effortless summer style is to keep it simple, and sophisticated dressing doesn’t come easier than an on-trend monochrome maxi dress that you can dress up or down as you please. Make a statement in abstract prints or be feminine in florals, and when you want to add a splash of color, a handbag, wide belt, or light knitted cardigan in a summery hue will give you a whole new look. —For a curated selection of versatile maxi dresses and accessories, explore options at https://streetstylis.com/.
Tropical Haze
Tropical patterns have been all over the summer catwalks in big, bold prints that lend themselves perfectly to flowing maxi dresses. If you’re more daring, look for playful parrots and colourful florals, or if you’d prefer understated prints, look at David Emanuel’s beautiful maxi dress designs for Bonmarche. He’s lent his expertise to a range of fashionable and affordable evening maxi dresses that includes exotic palm leaf motifs and animal jungle designs, plus the flowing empire line cuts of the maxi dresses will complement every figure, making them an essential summer purchase.
Pretty Paisley
Feminine and fun paisley maxi dresses are ideal for summer weddings, particularly if you choose a more fitted style and team your dress with a fabulous fascinator. What’s more, paisley prints are flattering to the figure and help to draw attention away from unwanted curves, particularly in bold summer shades of turquoise and magenta that you’ll want to wear all summer – and beyond!
Fabulous Florals
If you’re looking for a new summer staple, check out summer floral dresses for women from online stores like Pink Dove Boutique. Whether you prefer bright ditsy prints or bold, statement-making blooms, a great floral maxi dress is an absolute must-have for any woman’s wardrobe. Wear your floral maxi dress with a linen jacket to complete the perfect breezy summer look, or team it with a blazer for office chic with a seasonal flair. Oversized sunglasses and a woven beach bag will add a vintage touch to your holiday wardrobe.
