The weather’s warming up, and while we all love a mini or midi hemline, there is something so romantic and appealing about a good maxi dress. They’re comfortable, easy to wear, and remarkably, keep you cool in the heat.
Reader Jamilia agrees. She wrote in: “I wanted to know if you could do a post on where I could find some cute and unique maxi dresses for the summer?” Jamilah, we got you. Here’s a selection of cute maxi dresses for every budget.
$50 or less:
On a budget? Old Navy is a good place to look, as are mainstays like ASOS and Forever 21:
$50-$150
Retailers like Arden B and Topshop have several stylish options at reasonable prices. These pieces run the gamut of spring trends, from tribal prints to flowy neon frocks.
$151-$300
If you’ve got a little more to spend, Neiman Marcus and shopping sites like Shopbop have several mid range designers to choose from.
$300+
If money is no object, go crazy! Splurge on maxis from designers like Diane Von Furstenberg, BCBG, or scoop up Mara Hoffman‘s Mayan-inspired brightly printed frocks.
Nichelle wrote in, wondering if we knew of any “designers that have maxi dresses long enough for 5’10 and up. Cant ever seem to find any long enough.”
Topshop has several “tall” (as well as petite) items, and e-tailer Singer 22 also has quite a few options for taller ladies.
And Brittany commented, “Petite and tall, but plus gets no love?”
Sorry for the oversight! For plus size, designers like T-Bags, Rachel Pally, and Melissa Masse provide cute cuts and eye catching designs!
Will you be rocking a maxi this summer?
