I’ve talked before about my love for the maxi dress, and how this simple one item outfit is the perfect way to look chic with minimal effort. Since spring is in the air, I wanted to talk about why your maxi dress is one of the most versatile wardrobe staples, and why you should stock up with a few maxi’s now.
You can dress it up or down
The top reason why your maxi dress is one of the most versatile wardrobe staples is because you can dress it up or down for practically any event. Stick with a classic black maxi to take you from day to night. Daytime event? No problem. Throw on a cute pair of sandals with a statement necklace and you’re good to go. When styling your maxi for a night time event, simply switch out your shoes for a fancier sandal, put on jewelry that feels more formal, (think metals and stones) and grab an evening clutch.
You can use one dress as the base of multiple different outfits
Another reason why your maxi dress is one of the most versatile wardrobe staples is because you can use this one piece as the base of different outfits. My favorite trick is using your maxi dress to double as a maxi skirt to get more use out of it. Throw on your favorite blouse over your dress to give it a completely different look and feel.
Similarly, you can switch up your accessories to make each outfit feel completely different. Try pairing your maxi with a blazer for a fresh take on a spring time work look, or swap out your blazer for a utility jacket and a choker to give your look an edgier feel.
It’s the easiest outfit you’ll ever wear
One piece and you’re done. A maxi dress is by far the easiest outfit you’ll ever put together. You can absolutely accessorize your look, but if you’re in a hurry and need to get out of the house quickly while still looking polished and put together, the maxi dress should be your go-to piece. One item and you’re out the door. It doesn’t get much simpler than that!
