How to Style a Knit Maxi Dress Throughout the Year
A Knit Maxi dress can be worn year round. I love a long-line maxi dress because, no matter your height, or shape they look great on everyone. They have become a staple in my wardrobe and you can find them anywhere at a variety of different price ranges. The versatility of the knit maxi dress is extraordinary. Let’s get into how to style them.
How to Style in Autumn & Winter
The colder months are all about adding heavy layers.
- Dress down a knit maxi dress. To achieve a casual look, choose a flat boot, or block heel boot and cozy accessories such as a wool scarf, and a shacket.
- Go monochromatic. This effortless, chic ensemble never disappoints and will keep you looking put together all season long. For example an ivory maxi dress would become an elegantly put together monochromatic look with a cozy white coat, and ivory accessories. I also love adding an element of texture. An example of this would be a faux fur time on the coat etc.
- Dress it up by adding a heeled boot, a belt and a long line coat. Such as a wool camel coat.
Style Tip – Layer with fleece tights on extra cold days. I love these fleece lined tights from amazon.
How to Style in Spring & Summer
The warmer months are all about light layering. Choose a knit maxi dress that has a slit in the front, a strapless style or sleeveless style. These are great choices for Spring and Summer.
- Dress down a knit maxi dress, by adding a pair of flat sandals or sneakers, a cardigan or trench coat, and a tote bag.
- Create balance by choosing a dress with a front slit, or an open back cut-out and adding knee high boots. There is nothing better than feeling the sun on your skin as we make our way out of the cold months of winter.
- Dress it up by styling with a pair of slip on mules, lace-up sandals or classic nude sandals. As for a handbag, add a clutch, or a shoulder bag and don’t be afraid to add a pop of color through your accessories to brighten your look.
Style Tip – Always add at least three accessories. For example, a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a handbag to complete the look.
