Summer Maxi Dress in You-nique ways

In the fashion world, trend are like a big round circle,
those outdated trend in the past 10 years could possibly become the leading trend of today.

Vintage~~

the trend we could easily spotted on the runway show for most of the fashion labels where we could notice some vintage denim, vintage clothing, floral prints, clogs and so on~~

Among all, Maxi Dress is my favorite, a must have for this summer which suitable for all occasion. No matter it is a plain colour Maxi Dress, floral print or dyed print, maxi dress could give people a fresh feeling of the early summer.

Maxi Dress - simple and casual yet fashionable.

In the perception of most people, maxi dress may not be suitable for girl who are not tall enough.

In the "law" of fashion, a maxi dress worn on a girl with-height should wear flats, just nice and elegant. Where "under-height" girl should wear with a high-heels.

But in my opinion, maxi dress except normal single wearing, it can mix and match to create several different style and look.

Before I moved on to discuss further on the style, let's sneak peak on how celebrities and street fashionistas wear maxi dress :

Korean - Maxi Dress





Among all, I highly recommend mix and match the style between eastern and western, as how I interpret western and eastern ^^♥ :

1.)Western : Maxi dress is more towards “free” and "leisure" - a strong summer feel. Normally with only the maxi dress, a flats and carry a rucksack.

2.)Eastern : A bit different in how they wear maxi dress, some of them is worth of our attention and reference. Their style can have various look which include lovely look, casual look, modern city look or a very trendy look. All the looks above had totally cross the boundaries of height limitation to wear it freely and confidently in this pretty summer.

Below are the combination of eastern and western examples where I get inspiration from :

From above, maxi dress surely have the flexibilities for us to wear out in different looks.

I have been inspired to created some styles, sets below are for your references,
let's enjoy this summer! ^_^V

Style Suggestion
--------------------

Maxi dress + Flats + Paper straw panama hat(optional) + Porch bag + Flora bangle pack
- Maxi dress + Flats is a popular combination.
- Accessories can have the refreshing effect in making your look more interesting.
- I choose porch bag + panama hat to further express the feel of summer. 




Maxi dress + Ankle boots + Leather vest + Chain bag + Bracelet with beads
- I wish to bring out the stylish city feel + little sexy + smart
- I choose sleeveless vest to create the overall looks become simple and straight forward without any fancy elements.




Maxi dress + Leather clog boots + Jeans jacket + Shoulder bag + Bead necklace
- Western's style seem a bit more towards stylish and trendy.
- Eastern's style more or less same as Western's style but slightly with the gentleness and sweetness.
- I choose denim jacket due to its little bit wild and boyish feel, in mix with the lovely, soft and feminine maxi dress to signify the outcome between combination of eastern and western.
- If you wish to wear maxi dress in a different way, maybe this can be your answer?




Maxi dress + Plaid shirt + Grey blazer + Tote bag + Oxford shoes
- For me, style on the right had been little bit girly, that's why I created my own set to those who doesn't wish to be too girly.
- Plaid shirt + Grey blazer is to show the 2 style layers (as image on the right)
- Berry colour bag is the main factor of getting the overall style to look girly and soft.
- Therefore, I proposed a different bag in my suggestion set as the bag can be more neutral
(creamy white instead of berry colour) to keep the balance between vintage and girly.






*My favorite set ^^
- Strapless Maxi dress + Over-sized tee(optional) + Leather satchel bag + Sneakers + Bead bracelet
- For those who feel uneasy on the strapless maxi dress, you can consider add on the over-sized tee.
- Over-sized tee to create the casual relaxing feel with little sweet romance.
-  Sneakers can be suitable for many style. But when sneakers mix with maxi dress, it could bring further the feel of summer in compare to flats.
- Besides, sneakers + maxi dress can be a way to show your attitude.




suggestions above can be your "you-nique" ways of wearing maxi dress even if your height does not reach the "maxi-dress-height-law" like me ><"

    Maxi dress gives that feminine look no mater what you wear it with.
    Your suggestion is very nice - maxi dress with sneakers - very comfortable but trendy! That's the answer how to make sporty and casual outfit more feminine and classy.

    I like the most how Jessica Alba wears it, its shown on the first pic. Absolutely gorgeous!
    BTW, she's my style icon :)

    My suggestion >
    I would combine maxi dress with ballet flats or even better gladiator sandals and accessorize it with big bag, sunglasses and long necklace.
