If you’re short…

Maxi dresses can be especially tricky for short women, as the excessive amount of fabric and long length can overwhelm them. To make the look more flattering for this figure, pair the maxi with chunky wedges or platform heels. Try wears belt to define your waist and make your lower half appear longer.

If you’re tall…

The maxi was pretty much designed for tall, this dress is very well-suited to taller women. To avoid looking too long, pair a maxi with flip-flops or gladiator-style flats.

If you’re full-figured…

This style can work wonders for the full-figured woman. Because it covers everything from the bust down, it’s a miracle worker when it comes to hiding heavy hips, thick thighs, or less-than-taut tummies. Look for looser styles and don’t be afraid to embrace large graphic or floral prints.

No matter who you are, you can definitely rock this trend. It’s a great, simple way to look beautiful and comfortable all summer long. This look can be simple and basic when paired with some simple earrings or, for the more daring, the look can be taken to the next level by adding heels, a handful of long necklaces, and a pair of great shades.
