WHAT TO WEAR
The Look: Back in Black
A basic black maxi is a great way to ease this piece into your wardrobe. Simple and classic, this dress serves as a blank slate to show off your most outlandish of accessories.
The Look: Flirty in Floral
Bold but feminine, seventies floral patterns have such a wow factor that a dress like this packs a punch without any fuss.
The Look: Funky Yet Formal
Subtle adornments make this maxi my favorite. Its sheer chiffon sleeves and gold plated accent at the waist add a formal touch to its vibrant floral pattern.
WHAT TO PAIR
Working with a dress as long as a maxi can be tricky when considering accessories, especially when it comes to shoes. While I am a vintage fanatic, I am very adamant about pairing vintage garments with modern pieces so my look comes off as current rather than costumey.
A summer staple for shoes in the seventies was wooden platform sandals and clogs. There's no need to scour the net for authentic seventies platforms which normally cost a pretty penny, run in impossibly small sizes, and come with no guarantee of quality or condition. Many top shoe designers today make the same exact models that will sass up your maxi as well as do wonders for the rest of your wardrobe. Here are some of my favorite kicks to compliment your maxi that are available now:
