Black maxi dresses

Q: What shoes go with a black maxi dress?

Almost anything, which is the joy of it. Strappy heels or heeled sandals dress it up for evenings and weddings, white trainers or ballet flats keep it casual for day, and knee-high boots make it winter-ready. Nude heels will lengthen your legs under a maxi, while black or metallic shoes keep the look sleek and pulled together.

Q: How do you layer a black maxi dress for cooler weather?

Layering is half the fun with a black maxi. Throw a leather jacket over it for edge, a blazer for something more polished, or a trench for elegance. A chunky knit or denim jacket dresses it down for the weekend. When it is properly cold, choose a long sleeve black maxi and add boots, tights and a longline coat over the top.

Q: Can you wear a black maxi dress to a wedding?

Yes, as long as the invite does not specifically say no black. A black maxi is an elegant, fuss-free guest option that always looks expensive. Dress it up with a satin or lace style, add gold or sparkly accessories and a strappy heel, and bring a wrap or blazer for the evening. Skip it only for very casual daytime or beach weddings.
