If you’re looking to build an outfit that combines style, timelessness and comfort, the best place to start is with a maxi dress. A universally flattering piece that comes in hundreds of styles, fits, fabrics and colour schemes, you’ll have no trouble finding a maxi dress that makes you look and feel incredible.
The ultimate trans-seasonal pick, a maxi dress can be dressed up or down to achieve an outfit suitable for almost any occasion. To get you feeling inspired, we’ve put together a few must try looks with our favourite maxi dresses.
Knitted Maxi Dress
Ideal for the cooler months, a knitted maxi dress is one of our go to wardrobe staples in autumn and winter. On days where the autumn sunshine is breaking through the trees, wear it on its own paired with sneakers or western inspired leather boots. Finish the look with an oversized shoulder bag and a delicate gold necklace for a put together daytime look. Build a cosy yet on trend winter outfit by layering a knitted maxi dress with a longline trench coat, knitted scarf and leather boots.

Silk Maxi Dress
A silky maxi dress is a piece that is constantly on high rotation, whether we’re heading off on a vacation, getting dressed up for a candlelit dinner at our favourite restaurant or celebrating a special occasion with loved ones. A silky maxi dress featuring stunning lace embellishments, spaghetti straps and a scoop back is the embodiment of femininity and opulence. Choose a neutral and wearable shade such as bronze, champagne, black or nude for an investment that you’ll love for years to come. Pair your silky maxi with leather heeled mules, a small cross body or clutch bag and gold jewels with pearls or semi precious stones.
Long Sleeved Maxi Dress
The long sleeved maxi dress is one of the most trans-seasonal styles when it comes to this stunning silhouette. A long sleeved maxi in a breathable, lightweight fabric can be comfortably worn for sunset cocktails with friends in the height of summer and evenings spent in a cosy restaurant sitting beside a crackling fire in winter. Look for a rich colour scheme or animalistic inspired print when choosing a long sleeved maxi that can be worn season after season. Finish your look with ankle boots and a knitted shawl in the cooler months or strappy sandals and a woven tote bag in summer.
