If you need some new closet basics, this maxi is everything and more. The elegant silhouette is designed to flatter your shape and accentuate your curves in all of the right places. Throw it on for day-to-day activities or casual date nights. It's an excellent choice for a lounge-around-the-house dress too. Made in standard, petite and plus sizes, it's available in two colors — but this olive green is a wonderful mix of timeless and on-trend.
A throw-on-and-go dress doesn't have to be boring. Exhibit A: this bright and colorful number. The maxi dress is made of crinkled cotton gauze, and the generous silhouette has the easiest, breeziest feel.
Plus, how fun is the fruit pattern? It's definitely worthy of a spot in your suitcase. Pro tip: Shoppers say it runs big, so consider sizing down.
Artsy and elegant, this poplin maxi dress is perfect for in-between weather. Made of cotton, this halter dress has a smocked waist and tiered skirt that gives it a casual-but-still-polished feel. Hot tip: Pair it with a leather or jean jacket for chillier nights.
"This dress is so comfortable and easy to wear," said a fan. "It needs nothing to stand out, and adding a belt takes it to another level. Even though there is a lot of material, it falls beautifully and is slimming instead of poofy. I found the straps a bit too long and shortened them for a higher neckline, but that was a personal preference."
Love to twirl around in a pretty dress like you're 5 years old? Yeah, same. The many, many pleats of this festive dress will get you there. Not only do they effortlessly flow over your hips, but the V-neck style is ultra-flattering.
Depending on the accessories, you can wear this anywhere from running errands (with casual sneakers) to a spring wedding (with pumps and jewelry).
Sophisticated, polished and feminine, this satin dress is made for any and every body type. The high-neck design and flowy, A-line silhouette create an hourglass shape without being too tight.
There's also smocking to keep things comfy and a back keyhole for a little bit of fun. Oh, and there's pockets(!)
