Fashion Splash: The Maxi is Here to Stay

By Shelley Hepler

Summer is here! No matter if the weather is sultry and humid or hot and arid, women are wearing light and colorful maxi dresses to keep cool. And, aren't we fortunate that this 1970's throwback is one of the most flattering trends of the season! 

The maxi dress as a major fashion trend continues for spring/summer 2012. This year there is a nod to the 70's. The maxi dresses on the racks are new and freshly updated to flatter all shapes and sizes in stripes, florals, and even paisley patterns. Another of this season's trends, bright colors, is also an option. 

It’s clear that maxi dress is comfortable and stylish, but can you pull off these flirty dresses everywhere? Let's hear a resounding yes! There’s a maxi for every occasion - depending on the style, color, and complimentary pieces, your comfy dress can become a sundress at the beach or a gown for special dinner with friends.
