Maxi Dresses – Maximum Effect

No matter what shape or size you are, the right dress can make you look and feel fantastic.
Dominating the fashion scene for the last few years, maxi dresses are the epitome or feminine and functional fashion, and after years of being touted as the season’s hottest trends, they've finally proved their longevity.

Sleek, elegant and flattering, there’s a huge choice of maxi dresses available. Shopping sites such as Very will give you a wide range of options, whatever your style. Don’t be fooled into thinking that they’re just a summer staple either. Here’s how to wear your maxi for a variety of different occasions:

Maxi dresses aren’t just great for wearing whilst strolling around the beach, they are also ideal for formal occasions. Try choosing an elegant colour such as deep blue or black in a halter neck or strapless style. Pair with some beautiful heels and you’ll be dressed and ready to hit the town.

If you enjoy keeping up with the latest trends you can’t go wrong with a printed maxi. Prints have been everywhere on the catwalk this season, with everything from animal prints to florals making an appearance, and are great for injecting a burst of colour into your wardrobe.

Maxi’s are the perfect dress to throw on during the day. Wear with flats or sandals for summer days, and simple ankle boots during the winter. For a bit of extra warmth on a cold day, long sleeved maxi’s are perfect.

Lightweight cotton maxi dresses are perfect for keeping you cool on those warm, balmy days. Sleeveless maxis are perfect for slipping on and off if you’re at the beach, and if you’re going out somewhere special, you can accessorize your maxi with a lovely necklace and wedges for a perfect evening look.

Whether you prefer bright prints, monochrome or something simple and timeless, maxi dresses are sure to leave you feeling feminine and elegant.
