Style Bites: 5 Solid-Colored Maxis and How to Wear Them

If you’re too overwhelmed by variety of maxi dress choices out there, perhaps worried how paisley will play out the rest of the year when it isn’t summer, then solid colors will be your best bet. Solid colored maxis, like their patterned counterparts, can be just as striking, especially if you pick the right shade. Go for brights or pastels. And for darker hues like blue, a contrast trim can make it pop. Of course, careful styling is also advisable. You can never go wrong with solid colored sandals, especially neutrals like beige, black, and brown. This is also the best time to show off those unique jewelry pieces because you have no pattern on your dress to clash with! Check out these 5 solid-colored maxis, simply yet dramatically styled for your year-round dose of maxi dress chic!
