Summer is nearly here! To make the most of it, we should grab it with both hands and embrace this season’s style. When the weather is sizzling, it’s tradition to choose sorter hemlines to keep ourselves cool and on-trend, with shorts, miniskirts and mini dresses. With the help of House of Fraser, we are here to give you an alternative that’s cool, easy to wear and just as stylish!
Maxi dresses are still having their time in the spotlight and this year there’s more to choose from than ever before. There’s something for every summer occasion and we think it’s time every woman embraces the maxi dress for summer days, evenings and formal occasions.
Day
Wearing a maxi dress during the day can vary from casual cool for fun days out to daytime glam that can transition to night.
For the beach or a summer day in the park, try a simple, plain-coloured or striped sleeveless maxi dress. Team it with some casual sandals or trainers and a big bag to keep everything in. This way, you’ll not feel too overdressed but ready to tackle any activity that comes your way
Alternatively, for a glamourous day look, why not try a cold shoulder or maxi dress? The cold shoulder cut outs will dress up the standard day look, without leaving you feeling too exposed.
Night
Wearing a maxi dress when you go on a night out certainly doesn’t leave you feeling covered up or frumpy. A bodycon maxi dress will help to flatter your shape and make you feel dressed for a night on the tiles, while remaining fashion-forward at all times.
For a slightly more alternative look, why not try a dress with some sheer panelling or overlay and let new textures add an interesting element?
Formal occasions
Weddings, christenings and family parties always pose a challenge when you’re looking for something to wear – but not when you consider wearing a maxi dress.
Maxi dresses with longer sleeves help you keep covered if the wedding venue requires you to do so and, with a little embellishment, can be just as show-stopping as something shorter.
Sleeveless ruched dresses can also look stunning, with the ruching enhancing the flow of the dress. Team with pointed flats or killer heels and the fascinator of your choice and you’re good to go!
