Thought maxi winter dresses were only for your daytime plans? Think again!

Maxi Winter Dresses To Pretty To Pass Up

When it comes to the prettiest maxi winter dresses of 2022, we’ve been truly spoiled for choice. For example, with Favorite Daughter’s The Favorite dress. Aptly named, this maxi will be top of our to-buy/to-wear list this cold-weather season and it’s clear to see why. Firstly, this dress demands attention with its deep red, black, and gold leaf print. Secondly, its silky slip design makes it perfect for layering under knitwear for a cozy daytime look. However, it’ll look just as amazing with a leather jacket, and heeled black leather boots or heels for the evening. Add this to your cart now before it inevitably sells out!

 

Additionally, we’re head over heels for the Rio open-back cutout maxi by Hannah Artwear. As chic as it is beautiful, this dress stuns from every angle. Not to mention, we can’t get enough of those sultry waist cut-outs, long sleeves, and the autumnal shade of salmon pink!
