The only dress you need to go from spring to summer
If there’s one trend that practically codes
the arrival of warmer days, it’s the maxi dress. And for good reason – this
easy shift style is great for keeping cool and looking glam at the same time.
They’re also pretty seasonally resilient: Once you’ve dug them out of the
bottom of your closet, you won’t have to stash them back again until the fall,
unlike breezy-day cardis or strictly-for-summer crop tops. See our picks for
fabulous maxis to take you right through spring and on into summertime.
