Maxi never goes out of style: a beautiful and practical outfit. It is possible, as they say, to go "both to the feast and to the world."
Provided that the outfit is modest colors and neat style, it is not forbidden to wear it even in the office. The skirt will allow covering the legs that did not have time to tan, and you will feel beautiful and confident in yourself among colleagues who have already visited Thailand or Miami.
Choosing a long summer dress on the type of figure
A female figure may look attractive in any case: neither excessive thinness, nor a couple of extra kilos will prevent a lady from being beautiful when she can beat her strengths and weaknesses, presenting the first in the most advantageous light and turning the latter into a "highlight".
Maxi is the best fit for this purpose. Let us examine the features of the figures of each type and see what will look better in each particular case.
By stature, beautiful ladies can be like:
- pear (isosceles triangle);
- inverted triangle;
- rectangle;
- "apple" (oval);
- hourglass.
In the first case, the lady was lucky: she has the most feminine silhouette. It was these women who always admired artists and inflamed the poets' imagination. But it would be nice to slightly balance the "top" and "bottom". For this we wear dresses:
- with a full skirt and spaghetti straps;
- with a large neckline;
- with v-neck;
- with ruffles and frills in the chest.
You fit that style, which opens thin beautiful hands, emphasizes the waist and gently covers the somewhat massive "bottom". Nice outfits, tight chest and waist, and then turning into a skirt-sun.
We boldly emphasize the attention on the chest: in order to make it visually larger, we attract bright colors, assemblies and folds to help.
The “inverted” triangle is a lady with slender legs and slightly broad shoulders. These women are more midi and styles such as "case", but you can pick up a long dress that will sit perfectly.
The clothes should also be with a flared bottom, but here it is better to cover the hands a little: choose the top with sleeves. Moreover, no assembly at the shoulder should not be. We are switching attention from the shoulders and arms to the chest and legs: you are allowed a deep narrow neckline and absolutely any cuts - even straight from the hip.
"Rectangular" figure requires this approach: your maxi-dress must be flowing, without highlighting any details. Free top and bottom are good, and in the waist area easy assembly is similar to summer overalls.
Flounces and ruffles - the decision is not for you. Will the robes have sleeves? Here you can choose the option that you like best. Your task is to make a slight emphasis on the waist, i.e. label it.
The lack of a waist is almost the only problem with a rectangle shape. The “hint” on her is depicted with the help of narrow belts. But do not let them too much!
Yabloko: you have created stunning dresses with a high waistline. That you will look in such a dress just great! We cover fat hands with a small sleeve, making a seductive neckline on the chest.
The decollete in your case is just a necessary detail of the image, as it will draw attention to the most beautiful part of the figure. Minor flaws like the lack of a distinct waist just will not be noticeable.
The hourglass shape allows your hostess to choose anything. Therefore, we will not linger for a long time on the appropriate styles: for those who have equal proportions of the chest and hips and thin waist, there are no problems with the choice.
She can wear dresses with a loose or tight top, a fish skirt, a sun skirt, can emphasize her waist or not, can wear clothes with or without pockets, with sleeves or with open shoulders - in principle, she is allowed any experiments.
Actual colors and prints
What to wear in the summer? Does fashion require strictly certain colors or can you rely on your own taste?
Modern fashion has a fairly democratic character and allows beauties to clothe in the outfits of those colors that they prefer. Of course, she has some preferences, in particular, she especially likes these colors:
- white;
- cream;
- ashen rose;
- blue;
- pale yellow;
- cherry;
- blue;
- red (orange).
Do not give up their positions black. But, putting on a black dress in the summer, it is necessary to comply with some conditions, which we will discuss below. For now - a couple of words about which shades are most good for women of different ages.
| Colour | Woman's age | Shades |
|---|---|---|
| White | Up to 20-25 years | All shades, especially white-boiled. White in combination with contrasting shades. |
| 25-45 years old | White in combination with pale pink, blue, silver-gray, cherry, black | |
| After 45-50 years | Shades of white: cream, pinkish, bluish, ivory. | |
| Red | Up to 20-25 years | Bright scarlet, all shades of red. Good cherry, burgundy, wine, pink, including hot pink |
| 25-45 years old | Pinkish, orange, wine, burgundy | |
| After 45-50 years | Dark red saturated, gently combined with purple, black. The color of an ashen rose is white with cream. | |
| The black | Up to 20-25 years | Any combinations. It is possible in its pure form. |
| 25-45 years old | With white, with gray, cherry, blue, red. | |
| After 45-50 years | Black - at a minimum in the wardrobe. It should not be the main color. It comes as an addition to shade another shade, make it more expressive. |
Today is still in vivid fashion. Fashion with approval refers to various combinations of black and white, to a large floral print, to geometric patterns. The stripes and the cage are traditionally relevant: navy-style outfits, white-blue and white-blue, long dresses in a large checkered shirt.
Separately, it should be said about jeans suits: the hit of the season can be called a blue dress with pockets and beautiful contrasting stitching.
Two-layer and multi-layer dresses, as well as dresses in a linen style, with inserts of lace and guipure do not leave the catwalks. Ethno-patterns are also popular.
Light monophonic long dress for the summer is also a good option, especially if you choose the right accessories for it.
Now - attention: black maxi. If this is a simple monophonic dress in a linen style (with narrow straps and a lace hem), you can wear it to sandals of the same tone.
If this is a shirt, be sure to complement it with colored sandals or shoes (preferably with an open nose and heel), bright large ornaments - otherwise you will look too gloomy.
Beautiful styles
It is a lot of styles, the choice depends on your type of a figure and flavoring preferences. Long sundresses with frills are very fashionable. If you have plump arms, put a tippet or a light blouse on top.
This season, fashionable long dresses for the summer with a tight top and flared bottom. This is a good option for several types of shapes at once.
A narrow tight dress is an option, but suitable for summer parties rather than going out to the city.
An interesting proposal of designers - a short skirt in front with a long train at the back. This style will look perfect on slender tall girls.
Looks good simple maxi type shirts. They can be worn with or without a belt, and complemented with beads and earrings.
What to combine long dress in summer
Maxi should be interesting to beat, otherwise it can become fanciful or will look a bit strange. We offer a list of accessories for the summer "form":
- small handbag on a thin strap;
- a bag of straw and the same hat with a wide brim;
- wedge sandals (for owners of full legs);
- stiletto sandals (for those who have slender legs);
- beads in several layers (can be inexpensive, bright colors);
- large hoop earrings;
- bracelets;
- bright silk summer scarves;

General recommendations "for all occasions" is difficult to give. Try to combine different accessories with your dress - and you will be able to choose the most suitable for him.
Where to wear a long summer dress
Well, the set "on the way out" is ready. But where can you go in this stunning outfit? We offer to "walk" it:
- in the evening with friends on the boardwalk along the embankment;
- in the cinema, in the theater;
- in the cafe;
- at the concert, which is arranged on the open summer terrace;
- on the beach.
In principle, you can wear this maxi to work. But you need to be able to feel the thin line between what is permitted and what is unacceptable: for example, you should not wear a suit in a linen style or complemented by large bright ornaments.
Undesirable ethno-dress, do not wear a sundress to work. But a denim dress - monophonic, as close as possible to the famous "case", is quite suitable. As permissible liberty - a few buttons undone from above.

- standing, with a bouquet of wildflowers;
- circling around its axis (in this case, it is desirable that the hair be loose and spinning with you);
