The Wrap Maxi
The wrap maxi dress is easy, breezy, and effortless, all while being insanely stylish at the same time.
Madewell makes the perfect long sleeved wrap maxi dress, and because of it's darker color palette, it's appropriate not only for Summer, but also for Spring and Fall. Featuring a fun yet mature floral print, this Madewell maxi looks great with either black pointed pumps, stiletto lace-up sandals, or flat gladiator style sandals.
Keep your makeup neutral and light, but don't forget lipgloss, some bronzer, and keep your hair clean, and wear it either all back behind your shoulders, or up in a low and tight pony.
Styling Tip: take this model's hair, makeup, and clogs out of the equation and stick with our stylist's tips above.
Super Summery is this Eliza J ethereal pink maxi. Also long sleeved, this works great for heavily air conditioned brunches, and cool Summer nights. It's also loose, so it won't stick to you or feel heavy, yet it still has layers and depth to it. Add black lace-up stiletto sandals and a black mini bag to switch up the vibe for night time. And don't forget to add earrings.
Now, embrace yourself for the night time maxi ...
Date night, girl's night, whatever night, move over lbd's, because sultry maxi's are making their way into the night.
Topshop makes this killer lace metallic polka dot maxi that is perfect for when the sun sets. The back is to die for, so please click the image and check it out.
Another statement maker is this sexy viscose green dress by Majorelle. This shade of green looks great on every skin tone and hair color. Super flattering - just trust us. Keep your makeup light, but do include a pink or nude hued lip gloss, and some black mascara. Top off this look with black strappy sandals and a black sweater (if needed).
And, because we love to talk fashion, here are some other stand out pieces that maybe you wouldn't necessarily pick for yourself ...
