When it comes to the “lazier” spring or summer days where all you want to do is throw on something quick and go, maxi dresses will be your saviors. While I love putting in the effort to create an outfit involving crafty layering, there are moments when I’ll come to rely on the foolproof item that is a maxi dress. Not only that, but the maxi length was a major trend on the spring/summer runways, so it’s no surprise that the style is already being championed by the fashion set as we head into spring.
