Loose Fitting Maxi Dresses You Can Style Up Or Down

If you want to take this stunning laid-back look from day to night we have the loose-fitting maxi dresses for you. Firstly, we highly recommend adding the Audrey dress by Bernadette to your cart. It has a mesmerizing green and blue floral meadow print that we just can’t take our eyes off of. Meanwhile, the high square neckline and barely-there straps are eternally chic and flattering to boot! Additionally, the elevated pleated detailing that glides through the back of the silhouette gives this dress plenty of volume for an elegant a-line look. Finally, team yours with gold jewelry and metallic sandals, or with heels for evening events.

 

Meanwhile, we’re absolutely smitten with the Franka floral-print chiffon maxi by Ioannes. Firstly, it’s made for summer soirées. Secondly, the classic black and white print, floaty chiffon skirt, and subtle keyhole detailing on the bodice make for a truly elegant silhouette. What’s more, we absolutely adore the crisis cross straps in the back. Finally, team this dress with flats for daylight events, then switch things up with heels for after-dark ones!
