Today, Tomorrow, Forever: The Printed Maxi

Printed Maxis Hero Banner Final.jpg

A homage, a tribute, a thanks to the printed maxi-dress, the cover-all-bases piece, the wardrobe staple that can slip between comfortable and sexy, polished and relaxed.

It’s crucial to have at least a couple of these in your wardrobe for those last minute rendezvous and I-have-nothing-to-wear moments. Look for fabrics that you can scrunch up and throw in a beach bag, only to pull out and slip on over your bikinis to go from beach to bar. Go for dark, opulent prints to serve your winter-boho look, or opt for a light, subtle and feminine pattern for first-date ease.

Tell your story with a simple choice of shoe: a classic sneaker, a delicate heel, a relaxed slide or a trending mule. With so many options, it’s as forgivable to live exclusively in these life-saving styles as it is to not be able to choose.
