The Best Maxi Dresses for Tweens

With spring here and summer right around the corner, it’s time to shop for a favorite summer wardrobe staple, the maxi dress! We’ve sent our team out to shop some of the cutest maxi dresses from stores, online and even celebrity sightings. What we’ve found are trendy new ways to wear the maxi dress (or maxi skirt) for any season.

First, we found these cute pieces from H&M, which are perfect basics for tweens:

What’s great about these styles are the simplicity. They can easily be dressed up or down, paired with a denim jacket, a favorite beach hat and sandals and you’re ready to go!

For the more festival/boho look, we found these styles at Amazon and Jak and Peppar:

Maxi dress outfit ideas:

Taking a new spin on the old maxi dress can be fun. We have seen a lot of styles recycled from the 90’s with the button up front, cut-outs and ditsy floral prints.

Free People and Urban Outfitters are really good at bringing back retro styles. (p.s. Anything off the shoulders is really on trend right now.)

Harness your festival style with a flowy, floral boho dress, or a 2-pc crop top and maxi skirt combo. Many maxi dress styles right now have wrap style and built in shorts.

Another look to try is a solid black maxi skirt with a fun t-shirt.  Pair your maxi skirt or dress with a funky pair of sneakers, trainers or even boots for an unexpected twist.
