How They Wear: Maxi Dresses
When assembling an excellent ensemble, you're inevitably faced with all kinds of issues vying for your attention. Obviously the loudest and most important questions must be addressed first: is it appropriate, fashionable, and flattering? But that means other qualities—like how comfortable an item is—rarely make it to the top of that list. Finding a piece that satisfies our top outfit concerns and is a delight to wear is like the clothing equivalent of striking gold: rare but amazing when it happens. Luckily, there is a wardrobe staple that not only meets the above criteria, but is also the essence of summery chic: the maxi dress. Whether it's worn in a casual way for day or dressed up for the evening, these must-have frocks not only come in an array of fits and fabrics, they also can be customized to work for a range of tastes. Adaptable and accommodating, it's no wonder why tastemakers ranging from Alexa Chung to Rachel Zoe adore the maxi dress!
