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, cozy layers. With the many different styles, an off-the-shoulder, long-sleeved or turtleneck knit maxi dress is best for the colder months.
- 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 trim on the coat.
- Dress it up by adding a heeled boot, a belt and a long line coat. Such as a wool camel coat. Oftentimes, a chic coat can elevate the look and complete your outfit.
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 layers, and sultry styles. Choose a knit maxi dress that has a slit in the front, long-sleeved, a strapless style or sleeveless style. Some knit maxi dresses are not fully lined, so they can be see through. These can be great option for a cover up at the beach, or an elegant pool party. These styles are best for the warmer months.
- Dress down a knit maxi dress for the warmer months, by adding a pair of flat sandals, or sneakers, a light knit cardigan or trench coat, and a tote bag.
- As spring approaches, create balance by choosing a dress that is long sleeved with a front slit, or an open back 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. On a super hot day style with a sandal, or high-heel rather than boots.
- Dress up a knit maxi dress by styling it with a pair of slip on mules, lace-up sandals or classic nude heels. As for a handbag, add a clutch, or a shoulder bag. Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color through your accessories to brighten your look, or add texture through your handbags to create depth in your outfit.
Style Tip – Always add at least three accessories. For example, a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a handbag to complete the look.
