SUMMER FASHION TRENDS: EXPLORE THE TIMELESS APPEAL OF MAXI DRESSES FOR CHIC HOLIDAYS

Maxi dresses have cemented their place as a summer essential due to their unmatched comfort, versatility, and timeless elegance. By incorporating innovative styling techniques, you can breathe new life into this classic garment, ensuring that your summer wardrobe is as unique and chic as you are. Whether you’re attending a beach party, a garden wedding, or simply enjoying a day out in the sun, a well-styled maxi dress will always make a stunning statement.

Speaking about the popularity of the trend this summer, Pari Choudhary, founder and creative head of fashion label Bunaai, says, “I have witnessed how maxi dresses have evolved to become a summer wardrobe essential. This season, the trends in maxi dresses are all about embracing vibrant colors, flowy silhouettes, and comfortable fabrics. Floral patterns, bohemian designs, and striking solid colors dominate the scene. Fabrics like lightweight cotton, georgette, and linen are preferred for their breathability and ease of wear.”

While choosing a maxi dress this summer opt for a colour palette of delicate pastels like blush pink and lavender to bold, vibrant hues like royal blue and emerald green. For Indian women, designs that accentuate natural curves and complement diverse skin tones are particularly flattering, advices Pari.

She adds, “A-line maxi dresses, empire waist styles, and fit-and-flare designs are some of the best choices. One can elevate the outfit with bold jewellery, including chunky necklaces, bangles, and earrings. Match your dress with strappy sandals for a laid-back look or with heels for a more polished appearance. Define your waist with a stylish belt to add shape and break the dress's monotony.”

Holiday essentials:

The latest collection of maxi dresses at Bunaai is inspired by the essence of summer and features a variety of silhouettes, including off-shoulder styles, wrap dresses, and tiered dresses. Each piece has interesting details such as embroidery, lace trims, and ruffles, which are perfect for a holiday wardrobe. When curating a holiday wardrobe with long and summer friendly dresses, versatility is key. Look for maxi dresses that can easily transition from day to night.

Pari adds, “Dresses with adjustable straps, elastic waistbands, and tiered designs are particularly versatile. They allow for easy layering and accessorising, making it possible to create multiple outfits with just a few pieces. Consider packing dresses that can be dressed up with statement jewelry or dressed down with casual sandals to maximize their use on your holiday.”

While styling these dresses for an interesting appeal, think of interesting ways like maxis in layered fabrics or asymmetrical hems to add depth and movement. Dresses with side slits or subtle cut-outs can add a hint of allure while keeping you cool. Integrate technology with fashion by wearing a stylish smartwatch that complements your dress. Cinch your waist with a bold belt to add definition and break up the flow of the dress. This can transform a simple dress into a fashion statement. Layered necklaces, oversized earrings, and statement bracelets can add a pop of personality and sophistication. Lastly, carry wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to add a chic, vacation-ready vibe.
