Maxi dresses it seems, are the perfect wardrobe item. When hemmed to your perfect length, they can easily be a girls best friend. They lengthen the body making you appear taller and slimmer and getting dressed is so easy! Simply pull the dress on, slip on a pair of wedges or flats (if you had your dress hemmed, or if you’re just lucky enough to be that tall), some jewelry and you’re out the door!
Maxi dresses don’t discriminate: there is a dress for every body. Aside from making you appear taller and leaner, long dresses have another awesome benefit: they let you relax. You don’t have to worry about shaving your legs before leaving the house, and if it’s a windy day, you don’t have to suffer the panic of trying to hold your skirt down (I’ve been there, and it is not fun!). With fall now upon us, we don’t have to say goodbye to the trend just yet: layer your dress with a denim or leather jacket, and a pair of perfectly on trend ankle boots. When the temperatures drop, look for sweater knits in maxi length that skim the body and pair with a wool fedora (play with textures!), a colorful scarf and a statement bag. Perfection!
