How to style long dresses for everyday use
A long maxi dress is many women's go-to outfit on days when they have no idea what to pull out of the closet, because with a maxi dress you pretty much get an entire outfit served at once. The styling is much more about accessories and accessories, and therefore you can easily pull out the long dresses when you have landed in the wildest clothing crisis of the week. You can wear your maxi dresses all year round, which is why the long dresses are an eternal classic.
For example, style your long dress with a pair of tights, a pair of sneaks and a cap when you want to put a cool and sporty twist on the otherwise feminine long dress. If you want to complete the sporty twist, you can style your long dress with a denim jacket or a bomber jacket as an outer layer. If you want to play a little extra with the contrasts between the sporty and the classically feminine, you can add color to the lips and add a few pieces of jewellery.
If you want a cool and bohemian-inspired look, you can style your maxi dress with a pair of loafers or a pair of sandals on hot summer days and put your hair up in a careless and messy bun. Grab your basket bag or your net, head for the beach, local park or inner city and enjoy the sunshine from above and the life of summer.
Last but not least, you can also style your long dress for the cooler days. Take one of the long dresses with sleeves out of the closet, and style it with a pair of short boots and possibly a warm and chunky knit if the weather is extra biting.
You can also use the long dresses with sleeves to extend the summer and bring the bare legs into the fall. In that case, style the long dress with a pair of sneaks and possibly a light jacket, and show off the tanned legs while the summer's beautiful color still lingers.
Style long dresses for parties
You can also use your long dresses for parties, and in this context too, your maxi dress is a sure go-to. Let the long dress shine, and instead do a little extra with make-up and hair. Turn up the amount of make-up on the eyes a little extra, or let your lips take center stage with an intense colour. You can style the dress with a pair of high stilettos or a pair of boots with high heels depending on the season.
If your maxi dress has a lot of sparkle, you can let less be more, while you can spice it up a little extra with glitter, jewelery and glam if your maxi dress has a more muted expression.
The long maxi dresses are also an obvious choice on those days when the winter weather bites extra, but when you look forward to a long evening on the floor. You can easily hide an extra small, warm top under the maxi dress, without your party look having to become boring and practical with a jacket or cardigan. If you choose a beautiful maxi dress with long sleeves, and you throw a thin and light woolen undershirt under the dress, you can keep warm all night.
Let everyday life end in a party: how to transform the look of your maxi dress
Precisely because the long dresses are usable for both everyday life and parties, you can also easily throw a maxi dress over your head on the days when you have a long day with a full program that starts in everyday life and ends in a party. Throw a pair of stilettos, a little extra makeup and a few pieces of jewelry in your bag, and you can easily transform your everyday look into a beautiful party look in just a few minutes.
On the other hand, you can throw sneakers, knitwear and warm tights back into the bag, and in this way, an easy little exchange of your outfit's accessories and accessories can transform your dress from everyday to party. It all doesn't have to be so difficult when you can make it easy.
