Maxi dress was a big trend for Spring 2012, and it still remains very popular this summer and fall. It is fun to wear if you consider a few important tips.

Avoid:

– too many layers;

– too much jewelry (keep the dress the focal piece in the outfitIf, as it should be);

– closed toe shoes;

Consider:

– high-heeled sandals or flat sandals;

– leather tote or cross body handbag;

– denim jacket or simple cardigan;

– necklace and/or bracelets.

If you are tall, consider wearing maxi dress with flat sandals, gladiator sandals or even flip flops. Heavy ladies should consider loose maxi dresses and dresses with ruffles, and if you are petite, do the opposite. Wear maxi dresses that hug your figure and don’t have too many ruffles. Add high-heeled sandals to make you look taller and curvy.

Anyone should consider empire waist maxi dresses, they look flattering on most people. A leather tote and denim jacket will transform the outfit into a fashion statement!
