Autumn Maxi Dresses
I love dresses, so the summer is great for me. There are so many chances to step out in a dress. You do not have to worry about getting cold, so can wear literally any type you fancy.
Unfortunately, in the autumn, it gets a bit tricky. It is colder, and everyone else tends to leave their dresses in the wardrobe, but I have a feeling this year will be different. This is because of the maxi dress.
These beautiful full-length dresses are ideal for wearing in the autumn months. The fact that they full to the floor means that they feel warmer, and that it is practical to wear winter footwear with them. I love maxi dresses, so thought a quick roundup of what is available for the 2016 season would be a great idea.
Glamorous options
For me, long dresses still feel glamorous. I think that comes from the fact that until relatively recently you rarely saw long dresses worn anywhere but at award ceremonies and big parties.
Today, more people wear them in day-to-day situations, so they are no longer reserved for big events. However, that does not mean that you cannot look glamorous in a maxi dress. You definitely can, and designers know it, so there are plenty of delicate lace, and glittery beaded, maxi dresses, in the shops, this year. They are perfect for something special like a Christmas party.
If you have an autumn wedding to attend, a maxi dress is also perfect. They are elegant and flattering. Not to mention the fact that they keep you warm if it gets a bit chilly, which can happen with an autumn wedding. They also look wonderful paired with a shrug or lightweight shawl.
Practical day-to-day maxi dresses
However, long dresses are no longer all about glamour. Modern designers now include versions that can be worn every day. A jersey maxi dress is stretchy, so it is perfect for wearing to work, or while you are looking after your kids.
Holiday maxi dresses
Fashion retailers are clearly aware of the fact that a lot of us like to take a break, and hop on a plane for some winter sun. As a result, there are still plenty of summer maxi dresses available to buy. Bold prints are the most popular, but there are also some very nice mono colour dresses out there. These dresses are perfect for wearing in the evenings, but they are also good for covering up if you have had a bit too much sun on the beach.
Warm maxi dresses
Given that the weather is getting cooler, I like the fact that there are plenty of long sleeved versions available. Many of these are made from slightly heavier materials. These hang nicely, as well as keep you warm on a chilly evening.
My suggestion is that, if you want to carry on wearing dresses during the winter get to the shops now and buy yourself a long dress. There are plenty available, but bear in mind that they are flying off the shelves, so if you do not want to miss your chance you need to get shopping fast.
