the maxi dress is a trend i love, so here’s some pointers on how to make it work for you. the trend definitely has bohemian roots. so here’s how to look easy, breezy, beautiful and not branch davidian:
-choose bold colours and prints.
-pair with interesting footwear. i’m loving silver shoes right now, so i pulled my shiny flats out of the closet. but i also love converse sneakers and maxi dresses. pairing a flowy dress with structured boots is a great play on textures. it’s kinda 90’s, but that’s a good thing.
-accessorize. i paired my big dresses with big hair, layered bangles, layered necklaces, and a scarf. oh, and a cardigan. always cardigans.
-find flowy fabrics. a big key to making this style work is that it needs to be figure-flattering. thin and stretchy fabrics that show off your form makes this style look trendy, and not like your idea of modesty is tied to the ideal that your purity is dependent on men averting their eyes.
