The More Maxi the Better...

24 May 2011

Be a Bohemian babe...

There are some garmets in fashion that stand the test of time. Those that you can keep in the wardrobe for a couple of years and keep on bringing out and being just as fashionable as they were when you first bought them. Everything from the court dress, LBD, stilettos and now...the maxi dress.

Though it may seem as though the maxi dress has been talked to death, the enthusiasm for their trend setting ways and pretty designs have fashion tongues wagging more than ever. As designers get set for another spring/summer line, the maxi is stealing the show bringing with it plenty of styles to compliment the varying shapes of equally beautiful women everywhere.

The popular boho or bohemian look is catching on this year - a simple style the maxi dress was made to compliment. Simply find a dress to fit you, keep that hair naturally wavy/messy looking and throw on as many accessories (bangles, beads and headscarves) to complete a look that has all highstreet and catwalk fashionistas including Vanessa Hudgens,Rachel Bilson and the Olsen Twins bang on trend and ready for the summer sun.

Who says you have to be super confident with body image to pull this look off? Stick to a flowing dress with plenty of material and chunky accessories...and if you're a pro go for the fitted shape that aims to show off that waistline. Ladies, whatever your fashion fancy, there is a look for you, hit those highstreet shops and find yourself a bohemian bargain!

This River Island Khaki dress is not only a steal at £24.99 but fits so many occassions. The colour is casual but the style, with a little injection of bold statement jewellery this could easily become the evening dress you've may have been looking for.

This patterned maxi is the perfect flowing dress. The across the bust style keeps eyes at the top of the body and flow evenly down the body if you're a little self-conscious.Available from RI for £34.99
