It’s a long story – Maxi dressing turns summer into autumn in style
Celebrity Fashion, Dresses, Womens Clothes | August 14th, 2011 | By: JenniferMaxi dressing isn’t going away any time soon. In fact, maxi dresses and maxi skirts now have ‘wardrobe staple’ status. We love the look and we’re thrilled the maxi is shaping up for autumn with fabulous new trends and fabrics. Here’s how to wear the maxi in between seasons…

PAGAN GIRL
So easy to wear and perfect when the weather can’t make up its mind. Pull on this tribal print maxi skirt from South and you’re already working a strong new-season trend for all things pagan. Keep it cool with a simple tee, or warm things up with a cardi and short jacket. Bangles and a slouch bag are the perfect accessories.
TIME TO SHINE
This embellished crushed maxi skirt from Savoir Redefined in crinkle cotton with sparkly sequin trim caught our eye. The colour choice is delicious with purple, raspberry and turquoise as well as black.
70’s VIBE
This long-sleeved maxi dress from Teatro, one of our favourite labels, has a wonderful Biba seventies feel about it – another major trend for the new season. The maxi length is pure glamour while the soft jersey keeps everything casual and laid-back. We love it.
RETRO CHIC
Savoir’s gorgeous all-over print maxi dress adds more seventies-inspired style. The print is beautifully retro with long sleeves and lining add a touch of warmth as the seasons change. Add hippy-chic laced ankle boots to keep out the rain.
GROWN-UP GLAMOUR
The maxi comes into its own after dark. This show-stopping Holly Willoughby jersey bustier maxi dress is beautifully detailed and fits and flows to create a lovely silhouette. The soft jersey fabric in teal is just right for now.

STYLE YOUR BUMP
This maternity maxi skirt from South is a winner for mums to be. It’s super comfortable in soft viscose with an expandable elastic waistband. A soft grey print works with brights as well as neutrals. Add flats or trainers and you’ve got that ‘comfort with style’ pregnancy look so well polished.
