I’m a dress girl through and through. I’d say a hefty 70% of my wardrobe consists of them. I went through something of a fit-and-flare stage in my late teens, emulating the garms of Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn after watching far too many reruns of My Fair Lady. Although the obsessive polka-dot era subsided, length and sweeping fabrics are something I’ve welcomed into my 30s uniform.
When it comes to dresses, more is definitely more. By that, I mean more fabric, longer lengths and bigger sleeves. The aforementioned elements add to the allure of maxi dresses—not to mention they act as a blank canvas for creative styling, which is always welcome at this time of year when we don’t have as many layers to play with.
Just some years ago, the style was reserved for formal occasions, but now there are plenty of more casual options. They’re the ultimate hardworking piece, as with very little thought, you’re dressed for the day.
