Say hello to the linen maxi dress – the combination of easiness, freshness, and chic you have been looking for. The question that arises: how on earth should a girl style this summer wardrobe staple for the Fall season? But don’t worry! Here are some easy yet elegant tips by Taangerine Tiger on how to wear your maxi dress as a wardrobe staple this fall. Regardless of the task that you are accomplishing whether it is running errands, getting some coffee, or attending a weekend function, you can be chic, warm, and elegant all at once in a linen dress.
Layer with Tights or Leggings
When temperatures drop, which can be anything from tights or leggings can be a lifesaver when worn under your maxi dress. Black opaque tights are always traditional, however, patterns and colors are just as viable. Not only do they add warmth but they are also a chance to play with the shade of the outfit that you are wearing.
If you want to find a more relaxed way of dressing, then you could wear the dress with leggings and boots. This flared dress, skin-tight leggings, and tailored boots all together form an interesting layered fall look.
Style Tip: On really cold days, choose to wear thermal fleece-lined tights or thermal leggings. These bring extra warmth and use that into the design.
Add A Denim or Leather Jacket
An autumn staple is a denim or leather jacket, and they go very well with a linen maxi dress. This little hack can dramatically transform your summer dress for fall or winter wear and at the same, give an edge.
For comfortable streetwear, the everyday style, the simple denim jacket nicely complements the linen clothing used in the collection because of its lightweight characteristics. Hailing it, you can wear it off your shoulders for that relaxed look and then roll the sleeves for that formal look. If what you’re looking for is something a little more daring and classy, a leather jacket is your ideal choice. Leather is structured and has a certain cut, while a maxi – is flowy – and it is striking how well they go together.
Style Tip: To go the extra mile for the autumn rush, it’s best to get a colored leather jacket rather than the traditional black; try tan or maroon.
Pair with Boots
As we all know, the first thing or the most popular item, which most of us will associate with fall footwear is boots. The brilliant thing is that maxi dresses can easily be paired with boots – ankle, knee, or combat boots.
When dressing up in this fall, the best partners are ankle boots with suede or leather. Linen is used here as a sensual fabric that complements the raw look of boots making for a sympathetic contrast. Choose knee-high boots if you would like to lengthen your legs and get this glamorous naked legs effect to add extra height to your outfit. They are ideal for use as they also give your legs the warmth they require, especially during the cold seasons and they blend well in as far as the elegance of the wear is concerned.
Style Tip: When it comes to boots, don’t be afraid to play with textures. Suede and leather give warmth and combat boots give a grunge look good for casual occasions or concerts.
Wearing Sweaters and Cardigans
There’s no easier way to transform a maxi dress for fall than to layer it. Simply overwearing a dress with a sweater or cardigan does not only warm you up but brings a rustic and casual aspect to it. Baggy pants, thick tees, or even XL sweaters should create a boho atmosphere compared to the airy freshness of the dress. Besides, you can wear deep burgundy, mustard yellow, or olive green as these colors will blend well with the natural color of a linen maxi dress perfect for fall.
If you want to be a little more organized, you can always pair them with a fitted cardigan or cropped sweater. This styling attribute makes the outfit look more formal and well-fitting for work or even an informal lunch.
Style Tip: If the intention is to highlight the dress silhouette, then cinch the cardigan or sweater at the waist to get shape and style.
Conclusion
While a maxi dress can easily be worn during daytime, it is also nonchalantly layered for evening events – the best approach to accessorizing a linen dress for the fall is achieving the right balance between the lightness of the dress fabric and adding layers, the casualness of the dress silhouette, and the structured elements of the outfit.
