Typically, I am not one that will opt for Maxi dresses for women. However, from the recent New York fashion week 2022 street style, I couldn’t help but wear maxi dresses. Maxi dresses are very chic and easy to style. Also, it is one of the best basic outfits for women to pack as travel clothes.
Talking about comfortable clothes, one of the most comfortable outfits for any woman to wear is a maxi dress. They are easy to put on and sit with the body frame. These dresses are usually simple yet elegant. I also love how one can even forget they are wearing a dress for maxi dresses.
It’s interesting when I hear or see people complain about maxi dresses and talk about how difficult it is to style. Really? This is one of the most effortless outfits to style. Also, it is one of the versatile clothes for women to own. You can wear a maxi dress if you need an outfit to wear as a bikini alternative to the beach.
So, if you need what to wear to the beach, wear a maxi dress, a pair of sandals and a beach bag. For a cute style, wear a fedora beach hat to dress up the look.
How to wear Maxi dresses
Maxi dresses that very little effort to style. Also, you can wear maxi dresses for women with almost any outfit in your closet.
Below are some of the easy ways anyone can wear a maxi dress:
How to wear a maxi dress with a scarf
As a fashion girl, I love to spice things up when I dress. So, instead of wearing a maxi dress and leaving it looking ordinary, I usually add a scarf to dress up my appearance. Some may say I’m being extra, but I’m making a fashion statement.
The scarf saves me from having a bad hair day and protects me from harsh weather conditions. People always make comments saying I look cute anything I step out with my maxi dress and scarf.
I’ve always said that every woman must own a scarf, and you can see it comes in handy in this case.
Maxi dresses with a belt
There was a point in my life when I was obsessed with belts and added them to everything I wore, including my maxi dresses. Although I have presently outgrown that phase, I can still say that adding a belt to your maxi dress is one of the best ways to wear a maxi dress.
If the dress wasn’t going to get attention before, you could be sure it will when you add a belt. Contrary to popular belief, getting attention when you dress up isn’t always bad.
If you are a belt lover, you should invest in adding some of the best fashion belts to your wardrobe.
Maxi dresses with a Jacket
Maxi dresses for women come in various forms, and I cannot say the type you might own. I have varieties ranging from long-sleeved maxi dresses to off-shoulder maxi dresses and even strapless ones.
One of the best ways I style my maxi dress, especially the strapless ones, is by throwing a jacket on it when stepping out. It does the job of giving the dress an extra flare and boosting my confidence. I usually feel like I can take on the world when I add a jacket to my maxi dress.
I also love that there is no exception to the type of jackets I can wear on my maxi dresses, be it denim jackets or leather jackets.
With a pair of sneakers
People usually believe that you can only wear sneakers when you wear something jean-related. Well, who made the rules?
I’ve always said that I boxed when I dress up. So, you’ll typically find me going against ‘fashion norms’ but still looking chic.
As someone who prioritizes comfort when dressing up, wearing sneakers always comes through for me when I rock a maxi dress. In addition, it also adds an extra bounce to my walking step. The goal is to be happy when you are dressed. A chic way to wear dresses with sneakers is to style your maxi dresses with a pair of sneakers.
Maxi dresses as a wedding guest outfit idea
So, you’ve been invited to a wedding, and you are beating yourself up on what to wear. Of course, you have many outfits in your wardrobe, but none seem like the right choice. Why not opt for a maxi dress?
It’s a wedding ceremony, and the goal is to look cute and elegant, which you can accomplish when you wear a maxi dress. Wearing your maxi dress for a wedding ceremony puts you in the right mood for the occasion.
Maxi dresses for women have always stood out as one of the perfect wedding outfits for a long time, amongst other options.
Maxi dresses and Sun hats
I’d say that your wardrobe isn’t complete if you do not own a sunhat. It’s interesting to know that some people limit the use of a sunhat to the beach alone. I cannot begin to list the number of times and places when I wear my sunhat. For this, I can tell you that my sunhat is always handy when I want to wear a maxi dress.
It gives me that extra flare and spark I need for my maxi dress and helps protect my head/hair. So you see, it is a win-win situation. The glow is usually different when you wear a sunhat with your maxi dress.
Maxi dresses with knuckle rings
Show me your rings, and I’ll guess how extra you can be. Some people are comfortable with wearing one ring. Then, the rest of us love to adorn our knuckles with rings. I’m not here to force you to wear many rings as it’s based on your preference.
However, if you’re looking for a unique way to wear a maxi dress, you should try it with knuckle rings. Knuckle rings are one of the best fashion pieces of jewelry to dress your looks. You’d see that it brings the needed attention you desire, and people will generously shower you with compliments. So if you love being a fashion show-stopper, this one’s for you.
Maxi dresses with a pair of heels
I’d want to believe this is a common way of wearing a maxi dress and wouldn’t have much to say about it. I’ve seen that the most typical way for women to wear a maxi dress is by wearing it with heels.
They typically believe that since a maxi dress is long, they should add footwear that would elevate them, and the ideology isn’t wrong. It works when going for a wedding occasion, a dinner, etc, as it is a fine combination of looking chic and elegant.
And it also has a way of giving you a domineering aura and commanding respect. Heels are shoe styles you can wear all year round. So, they are perfect for dressing up all the looks in your closet.
Maxi dresses with statement necklaces
The same way I prioritize my clothes is the same way I pay attention to my jewelry, as I believe they all play an essential role in my dressing. So, one of the best ways to wear a maxi dress is by adding a statement necklace.
No matter how lowkey you want, the statement necklace makes your outfit pop and leaves you looking glamorous. I own a good number of statement necklaces as they have a way of making everyday outfits look extraordinary. Yes, it takes your outfit from 0 – 1000.
You should invest in statement necklaces if you haven’t already.
Maxi dresses as skirts
I can see the eye rolls already as you’re wondering how you can convert a maxi dress into a skirt. But, you would see how it works if you keep an open mind.
If you’re looking for a different way to wear your maxi dresses for women, you can convert them to a skirt. No, I’m not saying you should change its initial design. Instead, wear it as a skirt and tuck in the sleeves. It’s even easier to rock it this way if it’s a tube maxi dress.
