Wearing long clothing in the summer can be tricky, but maxi dresses have made a firm & fashionable come-back, and are an easy staple needed in every woman’s closet. The lighter fabrics of summer maxis make them wearable in the Charlotte heat, and maxis are super versatile ~ pair with heels for a daytime or evening wedding, or pair with flat sandals for brunch on Sunday with the girls. And unlike Rompers and Playsuits, maxi dresses can work on every body and every age.

Rompers are the perfect short shorts alternative for Summer 2017. Denim rompers are all the rage right now and are great for a day of errands and running around. Dressier rompers are just as easy to pair with a cute wedge or heel for the date night you’ve been waiting for all week, and look so much fresher than a mini or shorts.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Our advice is not to wear a romper, playsuit or short shorts to a wedding, the office or anywhere your potential boss or mother-in-law might see you. Err on the side of caution no matter how cute you look. No woman ever looked back 10 years later and thought, wow, I wish I’d shown more butt cheek at that event. 🙂

Now, hop on the trend-wagon this summer, and find your favorite maxi dress and romper to stand out from the rest looking flirty and fashionable.
