Trend: Maxi Dresses


Last year's hot maxi dresses are still super relevant and trendy this season. These long dresses are airy, easy to wear, and come in a plethora of prints and styles. Because of the elegant silhouette, even the most casual maxi dress appears dressy. You can accessorize your maxi with a long necklace, large earrings, bracelets and a big bag. If your dress is a solid color the accessories will definitely add dimension to the outfit. On the other hand, if your dress involves a pattern try to pick one accessory and let the dress stand out. Unless your going for an evening look, espadrilles and flat sandals are your best bet when wearing this style of dress. Here's some of the best!
