I love to wear maxi dresses. The dresses create an illusion of length ( which is great for someone short like myself ). Maxi dresses are also so effortless. There is nothing like throwing on a dress and a pair of sandals on a hot, Summer day.

However, they are tough to style. The floor length dresses doesn’t leave a person with much room to style. You will need the right combination of accessories and footwear to make a maxi dress unique and truly your own.

How To Style A Maxi Dress

There are a few ways to add your own touch to a maxi dress. Footwear is the first option. Sandals may be your go-to, but sneakers and ballet flats are also two options. Adding a leather jacket or denim jacket are perfect for transitional weather.

There are plenty of endless combinations for a maxi dress.

Scroll below for 11 ways on how to style a maxi dress.
