Few pieces stay on-trend through the seasons (and even decades) the way maxi dresses do. Defined by their long lines, maxi dresses for women are favored for their year-round versatility. From long flowy dresses that beg for the beach to streamlined silhouettes perfect for party & cocktail invites, maxi dresses have earned their place as a sartorial staple.
Maxi and Long Dresses for Every Occasion
Casual, career, cocktail hour—you name it and there's a maxi dress for it. A black maxi dress in chiffon or satin acts as your new go-to LBD for special occasions, while a black maxi dress with a wrap or shirtdress design nails 9-to-5 dressing. In warmer months, a summer maxi dress (like a white maxi dress or floral maxi dress) is a must-have when it comes to vacation packing—sleeveless and strapless styles work well for this. Although they offer greater coverage than shorts or mini skirts, maxi dresses in cotton and linen feel breezy and cool when the weather is hot. For chillier seasons, opt for a long-sleeved maxi dress layered with tights, boots, and outerwear. And, because long dresses aren't one-size-fits-all, discover plus size maxi dresses or petite maxi dresses.
How to Style Maxi Dresses
With the right accessories, maxi dresses serve as a one-and-done outfit. Casual dresses pair flawlessly with lightweight jackets (think denim or leather), chunky jewelry, and of-the-moment flats or sneakers. A floral maxi sundress, along with other summer dresses, shines on its own—go with minimalist jewelry and slide sandals to let the dress do the talking. Similarly, formal maxi dresses exude sophistication with classic pumps, an ornate necklace, and a clutch.
