A Black Skims Maxi Dress, The Perfect Seasonal Transitioning Piece.
Before we begin let’s talk about the dress i’m styling today’s looks with. I am demonstrating all looks with the Skims Soft Lounge Maxi dress. I originally purchased the long sleeve brown one and I’ve been obsessed ever since. When Kim made a Skim… she did a thing.
Anyway, if you haven’t had the pleasure of buying from this brand I would highly recommend you begin. Quality, comfort, and sex appeal, Skims is the perfect brand with pieces for everyday looks for the chic woman. In the case of this dress it’s a maxi body-con style dress with adjustable straps. The material is soft and robbed. Thinking about taking the dive? A few things to know about this dress if you haven’t already bought the line.
- Skims Is Slightly On The Pricier Side – This dress will cost you about 78.00 plus tax. However, the quality is impeccable. I’ve personally worn this piece about 3 times and it has stood the washing machine test. Spend the money sis.
- It Does Not Offer ‘Control‘ – Although the dress hugs your curves it does not control any imperfections you may want to hide. You will still need shape wear if that’s your thing.
Of course, this post is for inspirational purposes, you can use any black maxi dress of choice. Let’s go ahead a begin with the three ways to style the skims maxi dress with pieces that are most likely in your closet.
Three Ways To Style Your Maxi Dress
An Oversized Button Down
Get your favorite oversized button down you’ve been wearing during the dreary and cold months and pair it with your maxi dress. You can leave it open or button it up. A Personal favorite way is to tie it at the waist.
I chose an oversized white button down and my favorite cowboy boots. Because the Skims maxi dress is form fitting I pulled it up around the waist, making it more of a midi style to show off my boots. I found these boots on Zara. I highly recommend them and I’m equally obsessed. I’m telling you right now, I plan on making these boots cry from being over worn.
A Windbreaker
You thought because the temperature went up a fews degrees you would be forced to stow your windbreakers? Nope! In fact Spring is the perfect weather to sport a windbreaker. Simply pair your favorite breaker with a pair of low boots you’ve been strutting your stuff in during the winter. Grab that maxi dress and BOOM, we’ve got a look. I am wearing an old camo windbreaker I found in the men’s section at vans. But of course you can use any one you’d like.
The only suggestion I would make, use a windbreaker that ties at the waist or has some type of elastic at the waist, this way it creates sort of a puffer effect.
Sweatshirt, Hat, Sneakers
I’m pretty sure you have at least one sweatshirt somewhere in your closet. You don’t have to toss it to the side just yet, pair it with your maxi dress, your fave sneakers, and top it off with a coordinating baseball or bucket cap.
To really give this a street style appeal I highly recommend going with a baggier sweatshirt and dad shoes. The perfect dad shoe is the New Balance 2002 or 9060. Not only is this particular look fashionable, it is extremely comfortable.
