Maxi dress, maxi style

When aiming to look effortlessly chic during the scorching Las Vegas summer, it’s hard to go wrong with a long shimmery dress. As temperatures top 100, incorporating a maxi dress or skirt into your stylish repertoire also greatly improves the comfort factor.

Whether you’re partial to a bohemian vibe or go for retro chic, the maxi dress is the must-have for the Southern Nevada heat season. Maxi dresses are the original summer-ready style item, without being the classic piece that takes over the wardrobe. With heavy prints and bohemian styles in vogue, there’s never been a better time to update your maxi dress collection.

For diverse looks, pick a versatile floor-skimmer that can be reworked throughout the season. Go for bold colors that allow you to accessorize easily. Swapping your midis and minis for a long and loose spaghetti strap style will take you from the pool to the bar with ease. If you are attracted by ‘70s style, you will love that floaty boho floor-sweeper with heavy embroidery in the upper part, like the ones seen on Zara’s new collection.

Pair it up with a headband, round-framed sunnies and strappy gladiator flats. Consider shopping for a maxi dress with a sheer skirt for a more daring look this season. Complement it with a pop of red lipstick and high heel sandals for a full-out glamour.

If you are a big fan of flirty and feminine fashion, go for a floral maxi dress that accents your youth and highlights the flirty sassy girl in you. Go for a splash of color and daring print like the ones from H&M and Tory Burch.

Maxi dresses are a great choice for a casual Vegas afternoon with friends if you pair it up with gladiator sandals and a summer hat. That also works for formal occasions when complemented with a glitzy clutch, strappy heels and red lips. The maxi dress easily transfers from day to night by just getting creative.
