Who doesn't love an easy maxi dress this time of year? For us, the striped maxi might as well be considered our summer uniform! It's so easy to slip on and style as everyday wear. And we love it's sweeping, loosely fitted silhouette, which will help the skin breathe when the temps really start to heat up. Plus, if you're lucky enough to work in a more casual office setting, why not layer it up with a cardi or light jacket and wear it there too?

Paired with an understated sandal or platform wedge, you can easily transition a maxi from day to after dark. Plus, don’t be shy to experiment with color play in your stripes. A little color can add some serious pop to this neutral pattern!

For daywear, style your maxi with a wide-brimmed sun hat or boater hat (see our recs below). This will pull your look together and give your skin a little extra coverage - so important! For evening, layer up the jewelry and switch out your tote for a daintier clutch. 

Maxi dress hack: If you want to give your maxi a little more of a silhouette, try tying a quick side knot. See how we've knotted ours in the styling video below! For our petite girls, if your maxi is just a little too long, this trick can also save you a trip to the tailor. 

As always, thank you so much for watching! xx
