In the past, the maxi dress was reserved for special occasions like red carpet events, proms and balls. Not anymore! This dress has become a wardrobe must-have; it is versatile and is perfect for day, night or anytime in-between.

Classically, any long dress can be defined as a maxi dress. In recent times it has come to mean the long sleek dress that we admire on all the A-list stars who are wearing them on the red carpet.

The dresses' attraction is its elegant femininity. It makes you feel sexy, stunning and elegant. It can cover up any body part that you don't feel like showing. It can hide every lump, bump or flabby bit.

These elegant and sleek dresses have become a hit with pregnant women in recent years as the stretchy material around the middle has made them very comfortable to wear as maternity dresses.

This is testament to the versatility of these dresses as they will make even a pregnant woman look stunning.

Accessorize For Added Glamour

The versatility of the maxi dress means that you can wear it to your prom, a special dinner date or even out to the mall. By adding accessories to your outfit you can dress it up or down to suit any occasion.

To add panache to your outfit accessorize with some simple and stunning pieces. It does not matter whether you use prints or solid colors, accessorize with a long necklace, a sun hat and sunglasses, a pair of strappy sandals or some sexy heels and you will look timeless and elegant, even when you go shopping.

Following Colors and Trends

If you follow each year's fashion trends and colors you will discover that these trends usually only last a season and then your dress is going to look like last year's fashions. The ideal solution to this is to buy one dress in the latest color and style (it's always good to keep up with the latest trends; just don't be ruled by them) and then to make sure that you buy several more dresses with simple, elegant styles and with classic lines and solid colors that resonate with a timeless style; this way you can keep it and wear it forever.

The Golden Rule Of Maxi Dresses

Avoid the "tent" look. There is a fine line between a maxi dress and a kaftan. Make sure that your dress cinches in at the waist or under the breast. Always remember that your dress is the centre piece of your outfit, so don't go over-the-top.
