Vogue on How to Wear a Maxi Dress
Calgary Avansino, Vogue's Executive Fashion Editor, talks about summer's biggest trends: poolside cover-ups, maxi-dresses and shorts. He says to keep the maxi dress casual, but not too casual and of course to only wear it where casual dresses are appropriate. The maxi dress can be used as a pool cover up, too.
Wearing the Maxi Dress
Celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Eva Longoria, and Keira Knightly, just to name a few, have been spotted wearing these feminine flowing dresses. Even if you don’t look like a celebrity, you can still pull off the maxi dress look. One of the greatest attractions to the maxi dress is that you don’t have to have a perfect body to pull it off. If you’re short, opt for a maxi dress with a more fitted skirt, and add high heels to create height. If you’re wider around the waist, opt for an empire-waisted maxi dress.
The maxi dress is best worn with chunky heels, wedges, gladiator sandals, or flip-flops. Accessorize maxi dresses with long necklaces, chunky bracelets, large hoop earrings, over-sized sunglasses, and large handbags.
