I don’t know about you, but the number one item I pack whenever I am going on vacation to a tropical destination has to be a maxi dress. When it comes to travel, there is something to be said about maxi dresses. Maxi dresses are one of my must have pieces when traveling. As much as I love slaying an outfit, I also love the ease a maxi dress offers. When I am on vacation, I try to pack no-brainer outfits, and pack as little as possible. These dresses afford me both. They are easy-breezy and a must have for every tropical vacation. In addition to maxi’s being easy to pack and no-brainer travel items,Ā I love how you can transform the look of a maxi dress by merely changing your shoes. Both dresses featured in today’s style post work for 3 different functions. Scroll down to see why these dresses work for the beach, a casual meet-up, or dinner during your vacation.
3 ways to max your maxi dress on vacation
1.A day by the water
A maxi can be the perfect cover up to the beach. Because most maxi dresses are easy to wear, they serve as a great option for a cover-up. I would wear both of these dresses to the beachĀ or a day by the pool because the fabrics are light weight and they go on and off with ease.2.Exploring
By simply pairing your dresses with a cute pair of sandals or even a pair of sneakers, your maxi becomes the perfect option for lunch, exploring your vacation destination or just hanging out. I wore the blue maxi to explore the country sideĀ aka “the village” of Uyo during my trip to Nigeria. I wore the floral maxi to visit the Lekki Conservation Center. Both dresses were extremely comfortable, making my long days with the kids a breeze. Like many, I am allergic to mosquitos, hence when I travel to tropical destinations, I aim to cover as much of my body as possible.Ā Maxis’ are not just a style choice for me, but a great option for protecting my legs from insect bites while exploring my vacation destination.
3.Dinner
Swap your sandals for a pair of heels and you can create the perfect vacation dinner look. By adding a denim jacket, a shawl or changing up your jewelry, you completely transform your look from day to night.
