- Ciao everyone! I’m continuing my how to style basics series with 10 ways to wear a maxi dress. This is a summer capsule closet staple, and all the items I’ve worn with it are closet basics. Although a vest would have been a great addition!
I hope you like these ideas! What’s your favourite way to wear a maxi dress?

Girl, you did that! What I love is I'm a plus size Diva and I could rock all 10 styles.
Kia Collier hey Kia! Awesome to hear I'm so glad you like these looks! Thanks so much for watching!♥️
I love how you call yourself a diva. Wow. 😘😍
Wow! Mind blown! I see new outfits in my closet without even shopping! Thanks for the inspo!
Yes!! That's what i'm after on this channel! Glad you found some looks you like and thank you so much for watching! xx
I truly appreciate your approach and economic and ecologically sound encouragement I also TOTALLY understand not being able to face autumn and winter as it is finally summer
Ah I'm so glad you understand! Just couldn't face the heavy fabrics haha and so glad you enjoy the philosophy behind the channel. Wishing you a great week and thanks for watching! xx
Hi Alyssa! I just wanted you to know that your creativity continues to pay dividends even 4 years after you made this video. Thank you so much for your inspiration! I found an old maxi dress in the back of my closet that I've held onto for about 20 years. I watched this video and went step by step through my closet and found over a dozen new ways to wear this old dress (that I only ever wore by itself with flats). I also noticed how well made this JJill dress is; the fabric, seams, and detailed stitching is so well done. Ironically, at the time I bought this dress, my mother frequently complained that clothing was so cheaply made compared to when she was younger (and my mother grew up quite poor so wasn't purchasing premium clothing as a young woman...Sears and JCPenney was luxury shopping for her). I'm so glad I hung onto this dress as I will be wearing it this summer and will not be buying a new maxi dress.
ahhh this comment makes me so happy thanks for sharing!
@@AlyssaBeltempo : I couldn't agree more with Renee's comment about 4 years later. Still so uber chic and love it !
I love the urban chic look! I would have never thought to fold and tuck a tshirt like that and then use a sash to make it look like a whole new dress. I'm going to be using this look a lot in the future! Also the elevated look is beautiful. 😍
So glad you like those looks Kayla! Thank you for watching and have a great week! xx
This was great--I loved it! I really appreciated how you showed us how you actually knotted and looped things like the dress and the belt to achieve different looks. That's just really helpful to me--so many times I see a styling video and don't necessarily know how they made something look just so. Thanks!
Great! I'm so glad you found those tidbits helpful :) Thank you so much for watching Lisa! xx
I like the dress with the blazer and belt best. I would have never thought to use white tops with a maxi that has no white in the pattern. I hit the subscribe button because I am looking for a wardrobe thats not capsule exactly, but something to get the most mileage out of my clothes, rather than 50 pieces that just take up space.
Dawn Pren hi Dawn, so glad you found the video interesting! you got it - I talk about capsules and minimalism but don’t believe in counting pieces or following hard and fast rules - just being more mindful and conscious about how we consume and shop for clothing so that we use less and end up with a smaller more curated closet. I hope you enjoy the channel - thanks so much for subscribing:)
I paired my black maxi dress with a vintage concert t-shirt, denim jacket and sneakers. Gonna try the knotted slip dress look! Thanks for the inspo!
ooh i loooove the vintage concert tee idea! Thanks for sharing! xx
New Subie here! The urban chic and elevated looks were EVERYTHING!!😍 (I've now added a wide leather wrap belt to my shopping list!)
CandyKeesh yay! Hi and welcome! So glad you liked those looks! And YES I've had that wide leather belt for YEARS and use it all the time:) thx for watching! xx
Love the way that dress hangs
Thank you! Me too :)
The elevated was my favorite. Your videos are always so interesting.
auntsandran yay! Thanks for the kind words! And thank you for watching :)
Perfect timing... I am going for a 3 day conference tomorrow. will be bringing one dress and try 3 of your ideas! Thank you!
Omg! I have the same dress! Color, long! I wss about to trow it in the trash 😂 Thank you. A leather jacket can rock too
Love love love urban chic. I would have never thought to put a tee over my maxi, let alone then belt it. Brilliant. And I kept seeing the knotted look, but never could figure out how it was done. Love #8 elevated, too.
yay! That is one of my faves too - so glad you found the video helpful:) Thanks for watching! xx
Wow!! Lots of new ideaa to wear what we already have in the closet. Thank you so much for your creativity and sharing ❤️
Love this! I absolutely need to wear my maxi dresses more and this gives me some great ideas. And yes, a fall/winter edition would be great too.
Sarah Martin awesome! Glad you liked some ideas and found it useful:) thanks for watching! xx
Urban chic was a favorite, as well as elevated, preppy vibes, layered (I would go with a flat, because that's more my style, instead of the sneakers) and cinched and chic. Thank you for sharing all of your inspiration!
Oh yes, a flat would work super well too - thanks for watching! xx
LOVE this video...to death! Summer is when my Frida Kahlo muse arrives on warm southwest breezes. It is time to bring out my FULL OUT FRIDA wear...which means...maxi dresses and skirts. My western Santa Fe style and Cali-girl Bo-ho also is on full display. Towards fall, my style turns more to the clean lines of Japanese styling and Twenties inspiration. All these looks are amazing. I am 5'2" and 1/2 inches tall....so I wear wedges & boots with heels with my maxi dresses. I also go for arm coverage as they are not what they were in my forties. I am not one to expose the gravy-like bits of my body...each to their own. YOU however are rocking every one of these looks. A lot to admire here. Keep up the incredible stylings!
Lisa! I love your descriptions first of all, are you a writer? And love how you have a different style aesthetic for each season! I've never thought of dressing that way before, love it! Thank you as always for sharing and showing the love! Hope you have a great week! xx
I like to read and write, but my career was in teaching. I am now retired. I was an art major with a minor in teaching, social science, and business. My graduate degree is in mathematics. I am very well read and a lover of poetry, Shakespeare, great literature, ancient philosophers, art, opera, and jazz. I did have a blog, but it was too much work (LOL). I still have an IG account. I enjoy the conversation and company of women who have similar interests. I enjoy engaging with others in the comment section. My entire account was so I could document my outfits. Then, I found I enjoyed the company as my closet friends lost their battles to ovarian and breast cancer. Friendships take a long time me me to grow! If you want to see me...my IG page is @fridainmycloset
@@lfkilcran I am so sorry to hear of these friends of yours. While I can not fully relate - I "lost" friends mostly due to moving - for me, too, friendships take a long time to grow, and sometimes are hard to come by. You do sound like a very interesting friend to have! Wonderful for those who are friends with you. :-)
3,8 and 9 my faves thanks for inspiration! Have a grand week
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for this video! Those style are so simple and yet all does accessories are reachable in our closet!
Yes! Fall and Winter Maxi ideas!!!
Layered and elevated are my fave!
yay! Glad you found some you liked! Thanks so much for watching Chantal! xx
Wow, I'm impressed. It looked like a different dress in every shot. Great ideas!
I enjoyed how you make it seem so effortless and classy. Thank you.
Aw that is so kind, thank you so much Tracy :) Thank you for watching and have a great week xx
8 and 9 were the best, I could see myself doing those. great tips.
Jay Zuco glad you found some looks you like! Thanks for watching! xx
Great video. Lots of useful ideas. I know it’s old but still totally relevant. Which is good because I have a lot of catching up to do.
Loved it all but I liked wrapping shirt in a knot and the dressy look with suit jacket.
Garlic Girl glad you found some looks you like! Thanks for watching! xx
Thank you so much! This was so helpful!! I have 4 different maxi dresses : black, navy, maroon, and olive. I have enough different options to have a different look EVERY DAY! 🤯🤩
You're just incredible with versatility!
aw that is very sweet, thank you so much for watching! xx
Great awesome great thinking out of the box. Will keep video to remember your ideas I've had such a problem
The urban outfit and elevated looked really good! I don't have maxi dress or much any summer clothing because the summer is so short anyway in Scandinavia. I would like to see different ways how to style a denim skirt.
ah, i understand! A denim skirt is a great suggestion ... I need to cross that off my list and finally buy one! Thank you for watching! xx
Wow, I love the maxi with sneakers styles.
Fatine Rainey so glad you found a style you like Fatine! xx
Hi Alyssa, I love your ideas for tasteful, feminine/elegant looks with one knock-out maxi.....I mean one could also sleep in that maxi...and/or lounge.
Thank you.
🌹♥️🌹
This dress is everything! Love the open side!
Hi ladies! Unfortunately it's a few years old and I was unable to find an updated version or anything exactly similar ... I also searched ebay with no luck. I'm so sorry! Will keep my eyes peeled and add in the description if I find anything!
Really cute! Try 2-3 cinched in the back! Wore my thrifty maxi skirt like that in the 80s😃
Nice! Sounds amazing :) Will definitely give it a try :) THanks for watching! xx
Awesome job! Number 3 & 5 were my favourites!
Glad you found some looks you liked! Thanks so much for watching Sofi! xx
I've got to say the #4 knotted look is just the thing I needed! I'm short. I have a draped asymmetrical maxi dress that was just too long in the front. I did the knotted look & it didn't take anything away from the dress, in fact it enhanced to look. Thank you soooo much! I also have the same dress in a different color that I took to have hemmed for $40. when I just could have used a rubber band. Ugh!
haha ahh no worries! Getting clothes altered is a great strategy, but i'm so glad you found the rubber band trick useful for other pieces! :) Thanks so much for watching xx
Alyssa, I love your message and approach to fashion. So practical yet timeless. Just yesterday I was trying to figure out some more ways to wear my maxi - perfect timing!
I'm so glad you it worked out :) Have fun styling your maxi and thank you so much for watching! xx
I know this video is old but it’s still relevant. I loved the leather belt look and the transition with the jean shirt.
Omg I love your videos , going on vacation next. On the trying at least half this looks thanks
oh great! Have fun on vacation Jenny! Thank you for watching! xx
Would LOVE a Maxi dress styled for the fall!
You can never really pick one AB masterpiece, But elevated really caught my style. The skill you have with an elastic is beyond human. : ) Super power really. Cinching made a whole new dress, with just a teeny little elastic. Never have seen that done, on this planet. Out of this world. Bravo!
I really like it , I have almost same maxi dress and now I have several ways of wearing it . Thank you
i loved the balck jacket and belt black bagand jumper look
3&4=genius and 8 is my fave, the elevated elegant tailored look.
Brava!
Grazie bella! So glad you liked those, I like the elevated look too :) Thank you for watching! xx
Hello Alyssa, I've been watching every single episode. I just rewatched this one and wanted to know if you can give me other options on how I can wear my maxi's for the office. I love maxi's and want to wear them more at the office. Thanks Scarlett
Urban chic and elevated were my favorites!
yay! Glad you found some looks you like in there! Thanks for watching! xx
This is pretty amazing. Who knew one dress could do so much?? Thank you!
_naturallylola right? So glad you liked it thank you for watching!♥️
the ideas with the black tee and the blazer are amazing💞
I'm so glad you like them! Thank you for watching Corinna :)
I am a year too late but I was looking for ways to accessorize my maxi dress for a Christmas party, the elevated and fancy and cinched look inspired me.
Would love to see a Fall Maxi Dress video too!
So many cute looks, hard to pick a favorite! Thanks
amazing! Glad you found some you liked in there Linda :) Hope you're having a great week!
Yes! Please make a fall maxi dress look video!
Thanks for watching Karen!
This was very authentic ! Loved !
So glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching! xx
I’m having fun browsing through your videos and I especially love these “wear it many ways” videos. Thank you!!
That's great to hear Karen i'm glad you're enjoying them! I think these are definitely a favourite series:) Thank you for watching!
I watched this when you originally posted it but just watched it again because I'm taking a winter trip to Florida. Thank you! These are such great ideas that I never thought of! I will definitely be trying out some of these looks.

Wow. Great creativity.
WOW....!! MAGIC....!! LOVED IT...!! THANK YOU...!!
YAY! So glad you liked it! Thank you so much for watching! xx
Wow! You're really inspiring, Thanks
I'm so glad you like these videos - thank you for watching! xx
Thanks for this video…I was trying to figure out how to wear my sleeveless maxi in the winter!!!
Thank you! Just what I was looking for. A simple video showing me how to utilise items I already own. I know this vid is old now, but still on point. I loved that you skipped passed all of the listing all your items malarkey and got on with it. Definitely need to see how to style for other seasons too.
Whose watching this 2 years later , I'm glad I found this video . Thank you
Whow all the looks are great. Good ideas, I like it!
yay! Glad you like them Sandra! Thank you for watching! xx
Such a great styling video. Great tips. Inspired me to get 3 New maxi dresses. lol. Thanks Alyssa!
Thank you so much for posting this ❤️. Yes, winter is here, Please post winter maxi dress or maxi skirt ( like knit pencil style long skirt which is popular this year, but seems hard to make it chic and stylish). Thanks 😊
Good ideas! Thanks!♥️
yay! Glad you liked them! xx
The urban chic outfit was so cute!
Thank you Jasmine! One of my faves as well! Thank you for watching :)
The last look is beautiful 😍
#3 Urban chic my fav! Although gotta say, with your figure a maxi dress is the last thing I would wear! It hides you too much. ;)
Great video! Elevated was my favorite but i love them all. You looked beautiful in everyone.
I liked the layered look!
yay! Than you for watching! xx
Oh.. thank you. This works great for So Calif, cause our Fall is always very hot... can be 90’s-100’s.
Your denim jacket might only be good for our Fall mornings and nights when it cools a tiny bit, and the rest is good for daytime. It can be 110 degrees in Sept or Oct
My d-i-l is tall and really liked you video with the teal midi dress. She should like this a lot too. Thank you
Love look 3 - and 5! I’m inspired!
Elevated! But loved them all. Very creative. ❤️
So glad you like the video, thank you for watching Jane! xx
You are really good...I love the "Boho Inspired"
Thanks so much Jessy! Glad you found a look you like :) Thanks for watching! xx
I agree urban was great
Delta Ann Okin yay! So glad you found a look you liked ♥️ thanks for watching!
All your looks are lovely! Loved all of them!
Martha thank you Martha! So appreciate you watching and your comment! xx

Cindy N yay! So glad you found some looks you like - thanks for watching Cindy!
Tip:
whenever u wear maxi do tie ur hair up into a bun it'll give some height to u (I hope u all understand what I'm saying :p).
ooh yes - good one! Thank you for sharing and for watching! xx
It's great to have longer hair, for additional styling versatility! My mood and outdoor temperatures usually are deciding factors for wearing my long red hair up or down. 😊 Thank you for this video. I have many maxi dresses in solid colors and patterns. 😊
What if you are already tall
Is it necessary
Thanks
Yes bt what about the helmat 😩
Sooper i liked all the styles
Cool video I never think to style the maxi dress up
Favourites were 3 and 8
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Awesome, so glad you found some outfits you liked :) Thank you so much for watching! xx
Excelent idea! had 2 maxi skirts,,, Iliked how you stuled them with a denim jacke and I liked also in a sweater top..
Thank you for creating another great video! I always enjoy your cheerful and calm energy. Obi belts are the best. For people like me with a few more inches in the waist area, a slightly skinnier one is more flattering imo.
Oh I interesting thought Katherine! Belts are great little tools :) so glad you liked the video :) thank you for watching!
All are great but Urban Chic (3) and 8 are my faves. You nailed this. I've got several maxis I'm taking on vacation and can now get more mileage with them, so THANKS!
The Denim jacket over a white shirt, w/ straw bag and white shoes is effortlessly chic. Also, lived the denim shirt knotted at the waist. 😘
I liked the knotted tricks to enhance the look of the dresses or shirts - Cool👌. Thanks for the tips 🤗
Wow, I would love a fall version
noblekel oooh great suggestion:) thanks for watching!
Ah thank you so much for this one! Maxi dress/skirt is my absolute fave summer piece. So comfortable and so versatile. This video was so inspiring and you look amazing as always!
I'm so glad you liked the video Lisa! It is such a great summer staple :) Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great week! xx
5 was my fav
