There’s just no getting around it, the maxi dress is a must-have summer staple.
Here we round up five of our faves… And don’t be put off by thinking maxi dresses are just for taller figures. There’s a way to wear this trend for every shape. Read our tips for how to wear this season’s hottest trend and you’ll be working it to the maximum in no time:
*Wear it with a chunky belt to cinch you in at the waist – especially if the maxi dress you’ve chosen has layers of fabric.
*If you’re tall, accessorise with flats and attention-grabbing bangles.
*Don’t be afraid to be girly – it’s what the maxi dress is all about. Florals are the print of choice and maxi dresses in pretty summer colours, like pinks, reds and whites pack a mighty style punch.
*If you’re petite, go for a maxi dress that’s long and lean. Voluminous styles can make you look shorter and wider while a close fitting A-line cut is much more proportionate to your frame. Choose smaller prints so you don’t drown in pattern.
