One reason to love the maxi dress is its versatility — depending on your styling and accessorizing creativity, the options are endless. You can tie the side of it to make it a midi dress for the day or add a jacket for a layered-up look. When the leaves begin to turn, they’ll play nice with insulating layers like turtlenecks and tights.
