Maxi Dresses

Among the maxi dresses in our womenswear collection, you’ll find inspiring looks for every occasion. Think comfy longline T-shirt dresses for lounging, fit and flares for daytime and drapey silk designs for evenings. We have flattering cuts from figure-hugging to relaxed, with lengths that skim your ankles or fall to the floor.

Our selection features sleeveless, short-sleeved and long-sleeved maxi dresses. Strapless bandeaus offer reliable support and comfort thanks to stretchy shirred bodices – and some versatile full-length styles come with handy detachable straps. Want a dramatic silhouette? Opt for exaggerated puff, angel or balloon sleeves with plenty of volume.

When the temperature rises, a summer maxi dress is your go-to. We have beach-ready kaftans and lightweight cover-ups to slip on over your swimwear. Full-length cotton styles keep you cool while offering the extra coverage needed to protect your skin from the sun. Look out for details such as ruffled hems, broderie inserts and playful keyhole cutouts. Bright white or floral maxis have a breezy feel that’s just right for sunny days.

Special-event outfitting is effortless with a maxi column dress in your wardrobe. Choose a close-fitting long dress with a high collar, asymmetric neckline or plunging front. Embellishments such as sheer overlays and fringed tiers add interest and texture. To take the classic route to sophistication, slip into a full-length black dress. You’re sure to turn heads in a red maxi – and if you want to elevate the glamour, reach for a sequin-covered or sparkly option that catches the light.

Maxi Dresses FAQs

What is a maxi dress?

A maxi dress is a long, flowing dress with a hemline that falls all the way to the ankles or grazes the floor. Typically, a maxi features a fitted or structured bodice that flows into a looser skirt, creating an elegant, elongating silhouette that works for casual and formal looks alike. Maxi dresses are also referred to as full-length dresses, long dresses or ankle-grazing dresses.

What shoes should I wear with maxi dresses?

Maxi dresses pair with a variety of footwear types. If it’s a nice day, choose flat sandals, espadrilles or ballet flats for an easy outfit. Full-length dresses are a popular pick for more formal events, when you can dress things up with some wedges, block-heeled sandals or strappy heels – perfect for adding height and creating a long, elegant silhouette. In cooler months, ankle boots provide an edge and balance your maxi’s flowy length.

What length are maxi dresses?

Maxi dresses have a hemline that falls between the ankle and the floor. A good-fitting maxi can reach the bottom of the foot but shouldn’t drag – just brushing the floor as you walk is ideal for the longest maxi dresses. Trying different heel heights lets you play with how close the hem comes to the floor.

What jackets should I wear with maxi dresses?

When choosing an outer layer to wear over your maxi dress, aim for a jacket that sits neatly at the waist or flows past the hips to maintain the long, elegant line of the dress. A cropped denim or leather jacket adds structure and a relaxed vibe, while for smarter occasions, a belted blazer can define your waist for a more elevated finish. On breezy days, a cardigan or short bolero preserves the flowing silhouette while providing light coverage.
