4 Tips & Tricks to Make Maxi Dresses Work for Winter

Think practically. Although we love this look, we do have to admit that it may not be practical for every wintertime locale. After all, you don’t want to drag a long skirt though two feet of snow, right? But if there’s a light dusting of snow (or if you’ll be staying mostly indoors) we say go for it!
Layer up. This is the best way to winterize a maxi dress. Start by adding a sweater or cardigan, then pull on a jacket or coat. Throw on some winter accessorizes, like hats, scarves, and gloves, to stay extra warm.
Don’t forget your legs! After all the coats and sweaters are layered on, do the same for your stems. Even though the long skirt provides coverage, it can still be well, breezy under there, so add an extra layer or two. Thick opaque tights or leggings work wonderfully for this purpose.
Feet first. Probably the most important element of this look has to do with what footwear you choose, and we believe that boots are the way to go. Whether they’re ankle length or knee-high, flat or heeled, boots are a practical and fashionable choice to pair with your maxi dress in the winter.
