The Summer of the Maxi is here! Women of all ages are shopping for the maxi dress and maxi skirt this season.
It is rather ironic that the maxi dress is so popular in the same season that the short-shorts are in style.
It is perfect timing! Don't feel confident enough to pull off the short-shorts? Purchase a maxi dress or skirt and you will be right in style. The maxi is the most versatile piece to have in your wardrobe. It is flattering for all body types. It is slimming as it creates a long line. It fits in all situations - office attire, lunch date, beach wear and even wedding friendly. You can wear the maxi anywhere. Dress it up with jewelry and accessories, or tone it down by pairing it with flip flops.
Maxi dresses come in a variety of fabrics and styles. Soft cotton/poly mixes for a casual look, or flowy chiffon for a dressier look. Find Bohemian layered styles, pleated skirts, straight or full skirts, bold floral prints or solid colors. The maxi skirt is the perfect answer to packing dilemmas when travelling. Rolled up in your suitcase or worn in flight. I love to travel in a maxi, with it being so loose and comfortable, looking dressy, but it will also keep your legs warm when you hit the higher elevations.
Throw a casual maxi on over your bikini at the beach, or wear it out to dinner. Anywhere you go, the maxi will fit right in.
