Maxi Dresses: Still a Fashion Dilemma?

Maxi dresses have been firmly in fashion for years now, in fact they even made an appearance this winter having once been a strictly summer only option.
But while maxi dresses are becoming more and more popular, there are a number of people who are still nervous to try them. With this in mind, I have decided to write a short guide on the benefits of maxi dresses to encourage anyone still unsure to take the plunge. Here are just some of the great things maxi dresses can bring to your wardrobe this summer:



Choice:

There are now maxi dresses to flatter every shape and size, and there are more options than ever in terms of colour, shape and fit, so if you’re thinking about embracing the trend but haven’t yet taken that brave step now is the time to try.

Versatility:

Maxi dresses are a great day to night option on holiday, a simple black one can look just as nice on the beach over a bikini as they can at the bar later that night with smart sandals and gold jewellery – maxi dresses mean less packing for all.

Comfort:

Dressing up in the summertime is no easy feat. Smart clothing is usually restrictive and it can be hard to keep cool with tight, formal skirts and blouses. Luckily maxi dresses are usually light and floaty, so you can look dressed up without feeling the heat.

Classic Style:

Maxi dresses have been seen everywhere right now, and are one trend that isn’t going away any time soon. We’ve been seeing them on catwalks and celebrities for years, and we’re sure they will look just as good at music festivals this year as this will the following - and maybe even the year after that!

Fashion forever items

We all have items of clothing that for some unknown reason have an almost magical power - it could be something that as a purchase was agonised over prior to buying because of the price, or it could simply be something we picked up cheap with thought as to its style longevity. But there are items that outlast their contemporaries not only in terms of durability but in terms of look.

At the other end of the scale there's the kind of purchase that after you take it home, it just doesn't seem to look or feel right. Luckily that's what receipts are for - or, at a push, ebay. Because one individual's mispurchase is another individual's style perennial.

So, what's your forever garment?
