Styling maxi dresses from warm days to winter ones. My edit of the best printed and best black maxi dresses to wear right now.



HEY FROM PORT ELIZABETH
As I type this, I’m in Port Elizabeth, a coastal town in South Africa which I’ll be visiting for a couple of weeks. We are staying with Mario’s family, so it is very welcoming. Taking a quiet morning to do some work, scattered around my feet are an assortment of lego, cars and horse figurine toys left by kids who are visiting for the day. Definitely a change from my usual workspace in my office at home. Much more colourful! While I’ll go into more details in another post, so far we have gone to an animal park and visited some cute coastal towns. It’s been a beautiful couple of sunny, warm, winter days. I’m very glad to escape the cold, rainy winter back home!

Honestly, I could not wait to share these photos. This dress caught my eye when I went to visit Bohemian Traders HQ earlier this year (read about it all back here) right away. Though it has been a while since I wore a plaid shirt, this maxi dress was the perfect dress for autumn to winter. Worn with a blazer coat over the top and of course boots, it’s perfect to stay warm but give pants a bit of a rest. Goodness knows I reach for pants or jeans all too often. Once upon a time I never wore maxi dresses but I’m happy to embrace them occasionally these days. Wear longer or over the knee boots underneath for extra warmth.

THE MAXI DRESS EDIT
So I thought I would find some maxi dresses that I can share with you. I’ve looked for long dresses with long sleeves, that can be worn with a blazer or coat, the print or fabric being able to peak through. Some of my favourite brands like Rixo, Hoffman Copenhagen, Staud, Stine Goya, Zimmermann, and Ulla Johnson always have beautiful maxi dresses, perfect for an occasion or to dress down with boots.
