A maxi dress is the closest thing to a one-piece outfit. With a few small changes it carries you from a weekend errand to an evening out, all year round.
1. Bare and simple
Let the dress stand alone with a flat sandal and minimal jewellery. The most elegant option is often the easiest.
2. Layered for cooler days
Add a fine knit on top or a tailored coat over the shoulders to take a summer maxi into autumn.
3. Cinched
A slim belt at the waist redefines the silhouette and adds a little polish in seconds.
4. Elevated for evening
Swap to a heel, add a clutch and a bold lip. Done.
5. Effortless layers
A denim or leather jacket keeps a floaty maxi grounded and easy for day. Browse the full maxi dresses edit to find yours.
