The Maxi Dress. Some people love them, some people hate them. While there have been articles written about how "unflattering" maxi's are, I totally disagree. Like with any other article of clothing, if worn properly, a maxi dress can not only be flattering, but exude class, ease, and sophistication. That said, I compiled a list of the Top 5 Maxi Dresses that can offer the utmost flattery and style to your summer wardrobe.
1. The Backless
Just like the term "business in the front, party in the back," nothing makes a better statement than what looks like a modest dress in the front, to reveal drama in the back. Make a statement with a fun and flirty backless dress, like this one from Kalolia, $41.
2. The High Slit
Nothing makes me feel more confident or elegant than a high slit dress. Keep the look classy by opting for a high slit with more coverage on your top half, like this floral slit dress from Rotita, $21.28
3. The Grecian
Channel your inner goddess this summer in a Grecian inspired maxi. Pair with gold accessories- bangles, leaf earrings, or even an arm cuff to really nail the look! Check this one from SheIn, $21
4. The Off the Shoulder
On trend with the boho movement, the off the shoulder puts a mod spin on your look. Try a floral or tribal print with gladiator or fringe sandals for this style. Dress from ASOS, $50
5. The Classy Floral
A classy floral print maxi can take you from street to chic with minimal effort. This is a truly transitional dress that can be worn for an afternoon of brunch and shopping to a wedding or evening event. Just trade your flats for wedges or heels, pump up the jewelry, and you're good to go. One note for this look- stick to fabrics like silk, chiffon, or georgette, if you are trying to pull off the dress for an evening event- cotton will not cut it. Dress by Eliza J from Nordstrom, $148.
