Fashion :: Maxi Dresses for Summer
Summer is in full swing and temperatures are rising all across the country. One of the easiest things to throw on is a maxi dress as they are the essence of comfort and style. This time of year is also a great time to shop for summer items as most retailers are having sales to clear out for fall. I often would scratch my head about this while working in the fashion industry all those years. Who can think about a sweater right now? Not me, but that is the way it works. Never the less, I am happy about a sale on summer clothes since we will be wearing them for at least 2 more months! The great thing about the maxi dress is it has now taken a prescence into fall and winter wardrobe. By adding a cool crop jacket or faux fur vest it transitions easily into the appropriate season. For the summer season add a bold necklace, wedge or flats, even a fun panama or fedora hat and you are ready to rock. Here are some of my favorites.
Short sleeve stripe tie front dress. I love that this has a short sleeve. It’s a little different from your basic tank version(From Banana Republic). This is on sale in stores now for 99.00 with an additional 40% off of that!
Pleated maxi. The pleating on this is also fresh as well as the key hole front. This is a great dress for a summer soire. Like Mynded from Nordstrom.
Diagonal stripe strapless maxi from The Loft. This is 50% off on line for a limited time.
Free People “Meadows of Lace” slip dress. I want this right now, if not sooner (From Bloomingdales).
Jersy Printed maxi from Clover Canyon (available on Piperlime). The mixing of the florals and stripes are beautiful. This is the epitome of a breezy summer maxi.
