Summer’s Sweetest Maxi Dresses

For the summer season it’s all about rocking a gorgeous maxi dress, an easy style that’s made simple or glam with the right accessories. Check out a few marvelous maxi dresses with great patterns and designs that’ll give your summer wardrobe a bit of a kick!

The Aryn K In the Monet One Shoulder Print Maxi Dress ($91 on Lulus.com) boasts a paintbrush theme filled with colors that will make you glow. The flirty effect of the sleeve adds a feminine touch that’s unforgettable for any occasion.

A simple maxi dress with the right details can make finding something to wear very easy. That’s why I’m totally digging Mandee’s Crochet Maxi Dress ($34.99) with its embellished extras and crochet designs. This style brings simplicity and glam to all ladies on the go.

A statement-maker is always key for fun summer BBQs, and the A|Wear Snake Print Maxi Dress ($37.93 from ASOS) fits the bill perfectly. The snakeskin print and the bold colors make this maxi dress a fashionable must. Ruffles and frilly tiers round out this fun mix!

If you like being a trendsetter, it’s all about rocking Gypsy 05’s Tye Dye Cotton Maxi Dress ($105 on ShopPlanetBlue.com). The look is fabulous for adding vintage jewels, a fedora or an oversized tote. With its blend of summer’s hottest two shades (coral and white!), the asymmetric skirt and the haute hippie appeal, this one is worth the splurge!

mark’s It’s A Long Story Dress ($34) makes for the perfect poolside frock. The black and white theme is classic, but the touch of peach adds a fabulous little pop. This maxi gives you the option of showing it off as a halter or sporting it as a strapless style, making it a great transition piece from the pool to late-night cocktail parties.
