Look Hot, Stay Cool! Summer Maxi Dresses.

The Maxi Dress is without a doubt a popular summer wardrobe ‘must have’. Summer Maxi Dresses flatter all shapes and sizes because they are free-flowing over the body and allow us to feel comfortable and move freely but by staying confidently stylish at the same time. Ideal for summer daywear, ultra glamorous even wear and of course great for taking on holidays to sunny locations, and they make packing light! Bonus!

Maxi Dresses are great for hot summer’s days because although they are very fashionably friendly they are also very practical. Summer Maxi Dresses can help minimize or even prevent sun burning on very hot days by gently covering those delicate areas of the body and managing to keep us very cool at the same time.

A summer Maxi can easily be transformed from casual day wear to ultra glam evening attire. Bold accessories including statement jewellery and platform shoes or wedges can change the maxi look in an instant.

Here are my top- tips to help you get the best out of wearing Summer Maxi Dresses,

1. Choose a Summer Maxi Dress that flatters you shape the best, Tall women should avoid designs where loads of material gathers under the bust area and is left billowing out everywhere, instead go for a more fitted bodice design. Plus sizes can get the most flattering looks in A-line styles too.

2. Petite women really do suit any design but it’s best to stick with smaller prints like tiny flowers or little patterns as it won’t leave you looking swamped.

3. Plus sizes are better off choosing bolder designs but the trick is to draw attention to the dress for all the right reasons and to not accentuate the areas you would rather keep discreet.

4. White is the ultimate summer Maxi Dress, perfect for the beach. Its cool summery and ideal for everyone. Black attracts the heat, so it’s best to wear them on cooler summer days or at night.

5. Small and dainty jewellery and handbags do not really suit Maxi Dresses, It’s best to keep them bold in colour and style and extra large fabric or straw bags complete any daytime summer look. Don’t forget your over-sizes sunglasses too!

6. Anything goes when it comes to shoes and Summer Maxi Dresses. Flip-Flops, gladiators, wedges or even pumps and cowboy boots work.

7. For cool summer evenings try adding a wrap or pashmina or for a more tailored and chic look try a blazer.
