It’s a long story – Maxi dressing turns summer into autumn in style

Celebrity Fashion, Dresses, Womens Clothes | August 14th, 2011 | By: Jennifer

Maxi 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.

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.
