What’s up, what’s up, what’s?! Summer is officially here and that means it’s maxi dress time! Whether you’re on the short or tall end of the height spectrum, you don’t have to worry! There’s a maxi dress for everyone and here’s how to style a cute Summer maxi dress.

Tips: How to Style a Cute Summer Maxi Dress

1. Accessorize to Elevate

• Accessories are key to elevating any look and maxi dresses are no exception!
• Jewelry such as layered necklaces, a statement ring and bracelets or bangles, are a must.
• Cinch the waist with a belt for a structured look.
• Opt for a nice bag such as a bamboo or raffia bag for a cute vacay look or choose other cute bags that will complement your look nicely.
• Don’t forget about hats! A cute floppy hat or even a fedora can be a great accessory to pair with a maxi dress.

2. Choose your Shoes Wisely

• Shoes are also an important part of styling a maxi dress.
• Depending on just how long the maxi dress, you may need a heel so your dress isn’t dragging.
• Try a wedge heel or espadrilles, which are perfect for Summer.
• If your dress hits right at the ankle or a little above, you can actually do slides or cute flats.

3. Play with Proportions

• Don’t be afraid to knot the dress at the bottom to create a more doable length.
• Wear a fitted crop jacket if you’re going to be in a cooler setting like on a boat cruise.
• For shorter/petite ladies, you don’t want a maxi dress to overwhelm so do think about silhouettes that may be fitted at the waist or that have an empire waist. This is where a belt comes in handy too because you can cinch.
