Long flowing dresses always make me feel like a princess and so the ‘Iolani Palace was the perfect place to glide. Being the only palace on American soil, it is worth to visit a unique piece of Hawaiian history.
Many women associate long dresses with formal occasions. However we shouldn’t exclude the additional grace these dresses add in casual events. A long dress is elegant, comfy and chic!
Here are 5 easy-to-remember tips on wearing maxi dresses during the day:
Aim for the right fit. Most long garments don’t harmonize well with a short stature which makes one appear shorter or larger. It is key to create a shape so by adding a fitted sweater, jacket or a belt will help that graceful touch.
Add (wedge) heels. For some extra height, wear wedges (these are the best kind of shoes to wear for maxi dresses). Wedges are a cross between casual chic & sexy elegance… very much like the maxi.
Select the right details and prints. Prints need to be scaled to your body frame – so avoid humongous patterns. Keep the look romantic with slim prints and details.
Accessorize! I would say this for everything, however, the right additions takes a basic maxi dress to the next level and really makes it pop. A few pieces of jewelry and you’re set to go!
Wear it like you mean it. Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk. When wearing this dress… don’t walk – glide.
Long dresses speak volumes for itself. You are definitely guaranteed to have fun!
