With summer on the way, a maxi dress is a wardrobe must-have to easily pull together a chic look. Breathable fabrics like cotton are ideal for this season. Sleeveless designs and free-swinging hems can create a flattering fit. You could go for a casual look with some strappy sandals, or dress up with a pair of stylish heels.
