7 easy ways to start wearing your Summer maxi, now

It doesn’t seem all that long ago that I packed away my Summer clothes, ready to rug-up and snug-up for Winter. And yet now, all of a sudden, Spring has started to do its thing again, and I’ve got a hankering for some of that floaty, feminine swishiness that only a Summer maxi dress can serve up.

Here are 7 ways to style up your Summer maxi now, even while the weather’s still busy shaking off its Winter coat.

1. Top with a 3/4 sleeve boat neck t, and team with perspex.

Note the perspex accessories, a big trend for Spring. Pic: variacje

2. Dig out your denim jacket and a long, cross-over bag.

3. Scoot into your comfyist cowboy boots, gangliest chains and jangliest bangles.

4. Fold into a long-line wrap or cardigan.

5. Sharpen with a tailored blazer.

6. Wrap it with a scarf.

7. Trick it with a t.

I love the maxi with a long line cardi – perfect for those not-quite-so-summery but not totally wintery Melbourne days (and believe me, there’s a lot of those!)

  That’s so cool Alexandra. I’ve been putting these to the test this week myself. So great to be in a maxi again.

Am loving the denim jacket & cowgirl boot looks. I love the look of a maxi, but don’t actually have one. Do you have to be tall and slender to pull it off? What if you are average height, buxom with a mummy-tummy? xxx

  Hi Jess,
  Look for a maxi that is fitted up top, and look for an empire line – it’ll showcase your boobs and skim over your mummy tummy. And if you’re lucky enough to have a tiny waist, emphasise it with a belt. Hope that helps!

I dragged on my hot pink maxi & teamed it with a flowing black cardi. I also do a cropped wrap top on top too.

  Cute! I’d love a hot pink maxi. I think I’d try it with something bright orange (my new fav colour) x

I’ve been adding a long sleeved striped Sussan t shirt (more like a tunic dress with shaped hem that I usually wear with leggings) over a fitted CR singlet style maxi. On colder days, layer a long floaty cardigan and knot a long leather belt around the waist, and add ankle boots.
