The piece

How to choose and wear a maxi dress

A floor-length dress, usually light and flowing. Made for summer days and relaxed evenings.

How to choose

  • Light, fluid fabrics with a fitted waist or bodice.
  • Solid colours look more expensive; big prints need a simple shoe.
  • A hem that clears the ground in flat sandals.

Common mistakes

  • A long cardigan on top, drowning the shape.
  • Chunky trainers with a floaty dress.
  • A hem that drags.

Care: Wash gently, hang to dry.

In a capsule: A summer and holiday capsule piece.

Fabric
A warm-weather piece: linen, cotton and light blends, with open or light shoes.

Avoid

What not to wear with blue maxi dress

Skip the red ballet flats. Two bright colours with no clear relationship (blue, red) compete; add a neutral between them.
Skip the camel blazer. A blazer is dressier than a maxi dress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: blue is cool and bright against warm camel; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
