STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Layering Maxi Dresses

What do you do when you want to wear your new maxi dress, but it’s not warm enough yet to go strapless? There are many ways to style maxi dresses with different layers depending on the weather. Open cardigans and denim jackets can make your dress more appropriate for chilly days, but throwing a light pullover sweater over the dress can completely transform the look. Pick a color that is represented in the dress or a neutral that will match with anything.

The trend of pairing sweaters over dresses was seen a lot as a transition outfit from summer to fall, and is now being worn by many as spring has sprung. This look is the perfect way to show off that new maxi dress you’ve been dying to wear, especially when it’s not warm enough to wear it by itself. This Fashionista is sporting a black and white Aztec patterned maxi dress. The dress is paired with a thin white sweater that is sheer enough to be able to show the neckline of the dress. Her personal style shows through the trendy black hat with gold studs. Her oversized black sunglasses add a chic look to the outfit and are necessary for a day in the sun.

For a look that is more appropriate for night, replace the white sweater with a black sweater. The crop on this sweater allows more of the dress to show, but will still keep you warm.
