The Event Maxi
If you've got a wedding, engagement, formal or 30th coming up, this is where to look first. Floor-grazing satins like the Sierra in black, halter-neck cuts like the Eva, and off-shoulder shapes like the Stella in baby pink read elegant without trying too hard. Florals such as the Gabriella and Ava work beautifully for daytime weddings and garden receptions, while solid colours in burgundy, black or chocolate suit evening dress codes.
Casual Maxis for Weekends and Holidays
Not every maxi has to be event-ready. Cotton and linen cuts like the Nala in beige and the Skylah in baby blue are made for beach club afternoons, holidays in the islands and easy weekend wear. Pair with flat sandals, a straw bag and minimal jewellery for that off-duty-but-still-considered look.
Other Lengths in the Collection
Want a midi instead? Our midi dresses collection covers cuts that sit between mid-calf and ankle, perfect for cocktail and semi-formal events. For above-the-knee styles, browse mini dresses for birthdays, dates and going-out occasions.
Picking the Right Shoes
Maxi length needs height to keep the line clean, so heeled sandals or pointed pumps are almost always the move for formal occasions. For casual maxis, low block heels, espadrilles or flat sandals work, and white sneakers can work for cotton or denim maxis. If your maxi is floor-length, get the hem checked against your heel height before the event so you're not stepping on it all night.

FAQs
How long is a maxi dress?
A maxi dress falls to the ankle or the floor. The longest cuts are floor-length and may need altering depending on your height and heel choice.
Can you wear a maxi dress to a black-tie event?
Yes, especially in satin, silk-look fabric or with structured detailing. Black, navy, burgundy and emerald all work for black-tie. Avoid casual cotton or printed maxis for strict dress codes.
Should a maxi dress touch the floor?
It depends on the heel. With heels, the hem should sit roughly 1 cm above the floor so you're not standing on it. With flats, aim for the hem to brush the top of the foot. Most maxis can be hemmed by a tailor for an exact fit.
