How to Style a Maxi Dress (Day to Night)

A maxi dress can easily transition from a casual day look to a more formal evening outfit.

Day: Pair a sleeveless or short-sleeve maxi dress with flat sandals and a sun hat. For extra coverage, add a lightweight kimono.

Evening: Switch to heels and add statement jewelry. A tailored blazer or an embroidered scarf provides a clean, finished look.
