How to Style: Maxi Dress

Hello all of you fashionistas! Today, I am sharing tips on how you can style a maxi dress this summer. The maxi dress is such an easy piece to transition from day to night and from event to event with the right shoes, accessories, and beauty looks. Below are my five ways you can style a maxi dress this summer:

1. Bare. Let whatever the neckline of the dress is, whether it be strapless, spaghetti strapped, or off-the-shoulder, speak for itself with minimal accessories.

2. Toss on a denim vest or jacket. While wearing the dress bare is a great look, sometimes the AC while shopping or at events is too much even in 80 degree temps. However, toss that denim jacket over your shoulders for a relaxed vibe.

3. Allow your inner boho-chic side to show. Pair a flowy maxi with a fringe vest, circular sunnies, and/or a fringe cross-body bag. Also, a few braids in your hair wouldn't hurt either!

4. Style the dress for a date night. You don't need to go short for a date. A maxi is dramatic and unique for a date night. Just be sure to play it up with some bold accessories, lux heels, and a gorgeous clutch.
