Ah, the maxi dress. While this fashion favourite is very much a season-less piece, we do tend to have it pinned as a summer staple. But a maxi dress outfit doesn’t only need to be reserved for the warmer months. With the right styling, there are plenty of ways to transform this look so that it’s fit for colder-weather wear, too.
In this blog, we’ll take you through a few methods of how to wear a maxi dress this autumn/winter, so that you can brave the cold whilst looking bang on trend.
Layer up
With chilly mornings in full swing, it’s time to ditch the lightweight denim jackets in favour of warmer pieces. But fear not, you can still rock the maxi dress by adding a few layers to your ensemble. Whether it’s a long line duster coat, a classic biker jacket or an oversized aviator, cosy up and opt for something to throw on over the top. In this situation, it’s best to let the dress do all the talking with a bold number like our boho maxi dress. Pick a standout design and a jacket will add the perfect finishing touch.
Style over jeans
Add a little layering on the bottom half, too. Take inspiration from the celebs and try styling your maxi dress over your go-to pair of jeans. Worried about your ‘fit looking a little bulky? Go for something lightweight and floaty like our floral print tiered dress shirt, and choose ankle-length jeans for ultimate insulation and comfort. It’s easy-peasy autumn styling!
Jumper and belt combo
Looking to stray away from the jeans and jumper combo this season? Add subtle winter chic to a maxi dress outfit by styling a cosy knit over the top. To create that cropped jumper effect, throw a belt around your waist and keep tucking until the accessory can no longer be seen.
The Boysen’s printed maxi dress from our range is just the thing to team with your knitwear collection this autumn/winter. Whether it’s a weekend shopping trip or a quick bite to eat with friends, this look is sure to be a winner when the temperatures drop.
Best foot forward
When it comes to styling a maxi dress, it’s all about the details. And yes, this includes footwear. Flip-flops are of course a no-go at this time of year (sigh), so swap out your summer flats for a pair of ankle boots instead. Ideal for elevating your look and keeping your feet nice and toasty, ankle boots are the perfect choice to team with floor-sweeping maxis like our V-neck maxi dress.
