Effortlessly chic, maxi dresses are a go-to choice for both casual and formal settings.

How to Style Your Maxi Dress for Any Event

Styling your maxi dress is all about versatility and finding the right look for the occasion. For a relaxed daytime outfit, pair a summer maxi dress with flat sandals and a sunhat for that effortlessly chic, vacation-ready vibe. When the evening calls for something more formal, opt for a sleek evening maxi dress and complete the look with strappy heels, statement jewellery, and a sophisticated clutch. In cooler months, a long sleeve maxi dress layered with a stylish trench coat and ankle boots will keep you warm without compromising on style.

For the office, a tailored work maxi dress paired with a structured blazer and classic pumps makes for a polished and professional ensemble. If you prefer something more casual, a knit maxi dress styled with ankle boots and a crossbody bag is perfect for everyday wear while still being effortlessly stylish.

Whether you're dressing up or down, accessories make all the difference. A bold necklace, a waist-defining belt, or a chic handbag can instantly elevate your look. Shop our accessory collection at David Jones to find the perfect finishing touches for your maxi dress ensemble.
