The maxi dress is a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn in any season. Yes, you may wonder how it is worn in winter when it is always regarded as a summer dress. With a bit of creativity and gut the maxi dress is wearable and can look great in winter. Consider the tips below to ambrace the maxi trend in winter:
1. Clothing underneath the dress
Wear tights or leggings and a figure-hugging tank top underneath the maxi. This ensures that your body is kept warm.
2. Clothing on top
If you’ve wondering what to wear over your maxi, a slim-fitting round-neck jacket or V-neck cardigan that reaches your waist is effective in keeping a streamlined silhouette. Bear in mind that anything longer than your waist looks frumpy and sloppy. Material wise, a leather jacket or classic demin one emphasises the chic look.
3. Wear winter accessories
Wrapping a muffler that blends will with your maxi around your neck will make you look tall and slim as it will be a focal point of your body. If you are doing away with the muffler or scarf, put on chunky jewellery for a more chic look.
4. Pick the right pair of footware
To accentuate your height, wear a pair of suede booties or calf high boots with heels. For taller women, wear flat booties to keep warm.
Maxis are flattering dresses to wear for women who’d like to hide wide hips and huge tummies. For petite and slim women, the slimmer cut maxi accentuates your figure, making you look tall. Choose a plain coloured maxi than a patterned one for office wear and a more sophisticated look. For an elegant look, a plain black maxi is a perfect choice. If you are choosing one with stripes, pick those that run vertically for a tall and slender look.
You can look fashionable in winter with a maxi provided you put on appropriate layers of clothing under and over your maxi to keep warm. The rule of thumb is not to over-do your dressing. A simple, cool, winter look is the way to go. Indeed, the maxi is here to stay.
Thanks for the tips. I guess the maxi is versatile indeed.
Cool post; I would adore a purple maxi dress right now and go on a picnic in the country side :p I’m so corny!
I personally think Maxi Dresses are the sexiest of all dress designs. Superb post.
A maxi dress can be worn for any season, any occassion and any setting, even to the countryside for a picnic. Accessorising it with a straw hat will give you a polished country look.
