Maxi dresses have completely revolutionized our approach to getting dressed, and we’re not exaggerating when we say they’ve solved about 90% of our daily styling dilemmas. There’s something so effortlessly chic about throwing on one long, flowing piece and instantly looking like you made thoughtful fashion choices, even when you’re running late and grabbed the first thing that looked clean. We’ve become evangelical about maxis because they’re simultaneously comfortable and polished, casual and elegant, depending entirely on how you style them. The length creates such a beautiful, graceful silhouette that makes you feel taller and more elegant, while the flowing fabric keeps you cool and comfortable all day long. We love how versatile they are—flat sandals and a denim jacket for weekend farmer’s market runs, heels and statement jewelry for evening events, sneakers and a baseball cap for casual errands. They work beautifully for travel because they don’t wrinkle, pack easily, and transition seamlessly from day to night with just an accessory change. We’ve been living in them during summer months especially, but they’re surprisingly perfect for transitional seasons with the right layering pieces. Cardigans, blazers, leather jackets—they all work beautifully over maxi dresses. What we love most is how they make you feel put-together and confident without any of the fuss that usually comes with looking polished.
