Maxi dresses are a great option to wear during the summer. They are swingy, comfy, versatile enough to go from beach to dinner and you’ll feel very chic wearing them. Here are 5 madly chic maxi dresses for summer to add to my collection. Hope you like them too.

Ella Moss Zigzag Dress. The vertical stripes on this long maxi dress are very flattering, and the knit fabric has an open weave so it will be cool on those hot summer days. Free shipping and free returns. $238

Calvin Klein Belted Maxi Dress. The chevron print is visually slimming on this machine-washable dress. Free shipping and free returns. $98

BCBGMAXAZRIA Print Maxi Dress. The V-neck, front slit and watery pattern make for a very sophisticated dress, yet it’s so comfortable and very forgiving. I love this dress. Free shipping and free returns. $268

Caslon Drawstring Waist Maxi Dress. We urban girls need black even in the summer, and this easy, breezy dress is the perfect one at the perfect price. Wear it with flip flops during the day and change into silver or gold sandals with statement jewelry for at night. I am going to get this for my trip to Aruba over July 4th. Free shipping and free returns. $68

 Felicity & Coco Striped Maxi Dress. This is such a pretty dress. I would wear it to brunch as is with big hoop earrings or with a white shrunken blazer to dinner. The vertical stripes on the skirt hide wide hips, big thighs, big calves or ankles – basically anything you want to hide from the waist down! Free shipping and free returns. $88

All of these dresses flatter a myriad of figure types, and they can be worn all the way into early fall with a jean jacket (like the one from my last post on dressing cool here). Enjoy!
