Maxi Dresses at Max

A maxi dress is the easiest decision you'll make all summer: one piece, no thinking, and it works as hard at a wedding as it does at the beach. Our maxi dresses run from linen and cotton styles for hot days through to printed and plain designs for evenings out. If you'd rather something that sits between knee and ankle, our midi dresses cover that length.

Maxi Dresses with Sleeves

Not every maxi has to be strappy. Short and flutter sleeves keep you cool while covering your arms, and long-sleeve maxi dresses work year-round — bare in summer, layered in winter. If you want coverage without heat, look for a looser sleeve in a light fabric rather than a fitted one. It's the single most common thing customers ask us about this length.

Black, Linen and Printed Maxi Dresses

A black maxi is the most useful dress in most wardrobes — it goes to a work function, a funeral and a summer wedding without complaint. Linen and cotton maxis are the ones to reach for in January, when anything heavier is unbearable. And a printed maxi does the opposite job: it's the dress people remember. Our summer dresses range has more warm-weather options in every length.

How to Wear a Maxi Dress Through the Seasons

Maxi dresses are more seasonal-proof than they look. In summer, flat sandals and simple jewellery are all a cotton or linen maxi needs. As it cools, add tights and boots, and layer a knit cardigan or a coat over the top — a long dress under a long coat is one of the easiest winter outfits going. A scarf does the rest on cold days.

Everyday to Occasion

The same maxi can go both ways. Add sneakers and a denim jacket for a weekend, or heels and a tailored blazer when it needs to look considered. For weddings and evening events, our wedding guest and evening and formal ranges have maxi options already curated for the occasion. Casual maxis cover everything in between.
