Why Maxi Dresses Are So Versatile

Maxi dresses have been pretty trendy for a while now, whilst rarely taking the top spot as the must-have item of the season. This is probably because they are not simply a passing phase that is going to go in and out of fashion but rather a long-lasting clothing item that will never fail you! Their versatility has ensured their longevity and the variation available has only grown over the years and there is now more choice than ever. From the classic floaty summer dress to these long sleeve maxi dresses from Missguided for the cooler months. What makes the maxi dress so versatile and popular?

They suit anyone

A maxi dresses can be worn by everyone and are ideal for keeping you comfortable in the summer and covering up any areas you are insecure about.

There are loose-fitting maxi dresses that can be cinched in at the waist or fitted tops with a floaty skirt perfect for hiding typical problem areas. Alternatively, you can also get more form-fitting maxi dresses if you do want to show off your curves.

A simple maxi dress is a perfect base that can be adapted and accessorised to make it suitable for whatever occasion or event you are dressing for. Create a casual look by putting a denim jacket over the top and pairing it with some stylish trainers. Dress it up with elegant jewellery and a sophisticated clutch bag. You can even create a cosy winter look by using layers – such as a turtleneck underneath a strappy dress or an oversized jumper over the top. You can also hide a pair of jeans or thick tights under the skirt to keep you warm without compromising on style.
