Dress your Maxi Dress down

Maxi dresses are everywhere you look. You have bright coloured ones, dark ones, posh ones, simple ones and handkerchief pointed ones. The list is endless and most can be found at very.co.uk, where you can view a fantastic collection of maxi dresses. So how is it best to wear your maxi dress as an everyday casual dress?

Maxi dresses naturally look more casual than smart, so you could just wear it as it is and perhaps you will be ‘oozing’ a casual quality all over. But the fact of the matter is that it’s what you wear it with that makes it look smart or casual.

A simple plain cardigan is all you need to keep warm with a maxi dress. Keep it undone so the dress can be seen and opt for comfort over fancy. If you suddenly add more colour or more pattern to the mix you will be a spectacle for the eyes in a bad way. Simple but effective is the key.

However, it is the footwear than can instantly determine whether your outfit is casual or smart. To dress your maxi dress down you should go for flat shoes. Flat shoes are all the rage at the moment so they are not hard to come by. Ballet pumps look highly effective with the maxi dress and you can match the colour of them with your dress so that when you walk you get a glimpse of colour when your feet periodically pop out. Sandals also look good with maxi dresses and give that essential spring/summer look.

Finally keep your earrings small and simple and then accessorise with large sunglasses and a thin scarf. A little influence of the film star never goes amiss, so don some oversized sunglasses and lay back in your casual maxi dress.

Tips on Buying Summer Dresses

By Jacquie Generra

We spend the whole year watching each season pass by until summer arrives. When you look back on summer you think of beaches, long vacations, and the comforting warmth you get from the sun. It is a lovely time especially for women wearing their lovely summer dresses.

It can hard to find a perfect summer dress that will deal with all the weather summer throws at us. Here is how to buy the summer dress of your dreams.

Fabric matters. Opt for a fabric that is neither too warm nor too cold. These days weather patterns are more erratic - the weather changes on a whim.

Buy something that is machine friendly. It is good to choose fabrics that wash easily and crease less. Do not pick out items that will catch lint or fade.

Be careful with color. Try to find light or pastel colored clothing. Dark shades might not look too flattering especially when your skin gets a little darker from all that sun bathing.

Travel friendly. A summer dress will have good value if you buy something that goes with the other outfits you normally pack in your suitcase when traveling. It will stand out as timeless and appropriate. Choose a crease-proof dress that you can wear as soon as you pull it out of your luggage.

Design. Check how the dress was stitched. You want the finishing to be even and firm. Is it cut symmetrically?

Make sure the buttons, zippers and extra clasps that were used on the clothing are sturdy. Make sure they securely fasten as they are meant to. Think about layering. Be certain that the clothing you buy works well with other layers of clothing - does it go okay with your summer rain jacket?

Make an effort to try on. Always try on your dress before you buy it, even if the shop is extremely busy. Dresses are many times more flattering on the rack than on your body. Be sure to check - is it flattering the way it falls around your body?

Manage your costs. If you are not absolutely sure about a dress, keep it in mind and continue to shop around. You also want to consider how you will pay for it.

A classic and nicely made summer dress should last for years. Double its use by wearing it in other seasons depending on the accessories and the layers of clothing worn over the top of it.
