Choose the Best Fabric 

The type of fabric should be an important consideration when selecting a maxi dress. Especially for the summer season, you’ll want a fabric that is lightweight, easy to move in, durable, and comfortable. Linen fabric will give you a breezy maxi dress that’ll keep you cool in the brutal summer heat. Cotton, while heavier than linen, is still very breathable and creates a maxi dress that’s comfortable and moveable. Polyester fabric is by far the most durable and easiest to maintain, yet still light enough for the season. Consider which fabrics would best suit your social schedule when shopping for a maxi dress. 

Be Mindful of Prints 

Prints are an easy way to make a bold statement in your wardrobe. From florals to animals, prints create a memorable outfit, especially in a maxi dress. However, when searching for versatility, prints can be tricky. The bolder the print, the harder it may be to accessorize or adapt the dress for multiple events. To ensure your maxi dress is versatile, search for a dress with a subtle print or no print at all. To make this search easier, try shopping at a location with a large variety of options, like a wholesale women's clothing store. 

Dress for your Shape

A dress that flatters your body shape is a dress that you'll feel confident in. A dress that makes you feel confident is one that you'll want to wear again and again. While maxi dresses are almost universally flattering, there are still a few additional features for each body shape to keep in mind: 

• Hourglass: Look for a maxi dress with a wrap style or a style that's fitted at the natural waist to help flatter your natural proportions. 

• Pear: A strapless maxi dress will help draw the attention up from your hips and balance out your proportions. 

• Apple: Opt for a maxi dress in a solid color or one with a high, empire waist to elongate the torso. 

• Inverted Triangle: Choose a maxi dress with layers of fabric around the skirt and avoid a strapless or spaghetti strap style. 

By choosing a maxi dress that flatters your body shape, you’ll find that it becomes a versatile option that you’ll reach for again and again. 

Express Your Style 

Last but not least, find a maxi dress with details that express your style. A dress with a leg slit, for example, or one with cut-outs at the waist or back are fun ways to keep your dress versatile yet still unique.
