Losve knows that you love longline tunics, shirts and skirts, so the fact that the long length maxi dress is a big trend for this coming season will come as welcome news. Here we take a look at the latest maxi shapes and how you can find the perfect maxi fit for your figure.
If you have a petite figure, then choosing a maxi becomes trickier as it’s all too easy to look swamped by material. The key is to choose a maxi that’s the right length for you. Avoid dresses that skim the floor as these will only serve to make you look shorter – instead look for maxi lengths that fall just to the ankle.
Whatever your shape, you should look for maxi cuts that are fitted to the body. This is easier with the latest maxi dresses, which are far sleeker fitting than the floaty maxi dresses we saw in summer. Look for maxis that are fitted to the waist, or are belted, or add your own belt to cinch in the waist creating a feminine silhouette.
If you’re curvy, then avoid thin-strapped maxis as these will make your upper torso and arms look bigger. Instead, look for halter styles, thick straps, or wrap over maxis that will you’re your upper body and flatter your bust too.
The easiest way to slim your shape in a maxi is to look for one in a solid colour. There are plenty available in the stores in this season’s key khakis, muted greys and olive greens at the moment. Bold colours and prints look great on a curvier frame, as these help to accentuate your curves.
Shopping for maxi dresses is easy this season, as you’ll find them all over the high street. For more free-flowing classic maxis, look to vintage and second hand stores for unique styles. If you’re looking for the latest maxi styles, like body con maxis and city maxi cuts, then look to high street stores like New Look where you’ll find affordable maxi dresses and a great range of cropped jackets that are perfect for accentuating your waist in a maxi too.
