Modest Fashion: How to Layer Your Maxi Dresses



My older sister has been a huge supporter of my blog. She not only buys the items I have on my blog, but she also gives me ideas. Recently she told me that she wanted to have seen me do a post about maxi dresses. My big sister also confessed that she wanted to see the dress that she can layer with one of her other favorite staples, a cardigan. 


How to Layer Your Maxi Dresses 


She loves a good cardigan but I decided to create outfits with jackets and cardigans. I know she and my readers will appreciate a variety of cover-ups she can wear with her maxi dress. I also created casual looks as well as dressier outfits.

What jackets Can I wear with my maxi dress?  






 Denim Jackets 

Denim jackets are an excellent jacket to wear in spring with dresses. Most traditionally wear a blue denim jacket but sometimes it is good to try something different. That is why I added a red denim jacket with a black v-neck maxi dress.

Leather Jackets

Believe or not some people in the United States are still experiencing winter or fall weather! The idea of wearing a leather jacket is not crazy to them especially if they wear it with a spring satin dress. For those who are experiencing warmer weather, you can wear this look on cooler nights instead or just forego the leather jacket! You can also forget about the suede boots and opt for these sandals instead.

What type of sweaters can I wear with my maxi dress? 




Cardigans 



I have a collection of cardigans but my favorite will always be a button up cardigan. I know this is also one of the most common cardigans that other women may also have in their closet. I choose to put this cardigan with a gingham dress because they make a classic pair.

Conclusion: 

These are just a few ways that you can wear with your sleeveless or short sleeve maxi. You can also layer your dress with a shirt, or even layer something under your maxi dress. If you are curious to see other ways you can layer your maxi dress let me know and I can turn it into a series. Just let me know in the comments.
