I was reading an article on the New York Times fashion page about the uprising of the maxi dress; the mini is “out” and street style reflects this.
Me personally? In pictures, I would choose the Maxi Dress for it’s class (skin coverage) and comfort factors but on my short 5’2ish stature, somewhere between the mini and the maxi looks best on my frame. Believe me, I have tried Maxi Dresses on aaaaaaand I am almost always guaranteed that it will be dragging and I would have to bring it to my tailor. Doesn’t mean I don’t LOVE some of the prints that are hitting the stores… or that I won’t buy one to go with my bathing suit!
When it comes to Mini Dresses, I am not sure that I am ever 100% comfortable in them. They are sure to be more show stopping than a Maxi Dress and more suitable for formal occasions plus let’s not forget that there are gorgeous heels (you know you own them) that need to be shown off. Case in point:ย I just bought a mini dress yesterday. Hey, I have a wedding to go to!
I guess it would depend on the day whether or not I would shout MAXI! or MINI!
So what do you think is the better fashion fit for you? Maxi or Mini or somewhere in between?
