The ready-to-wear function of the dress caught on in popularity as the era embraced the new trend of casual fashion.\u00a0The ’70s maxi normally fell to a woman’s ankles, so many of the vintage styles you see are a few inches shorter than the contemporary ones sold in stores today.<\/p>\n Since maxi dresses<\/a> are such a style staple, I wanted to share a real-life example of how you can wear a maxi dress and accessorize the body-length piece without looking overdone.<\/p>\n Keep reading after the jump to see how Fajr of Stylish Thought<\/a> maximized the wear of her ’70s green maxi for day and night activities with easy accessory tweaks!<\/p>\n The ultimate vintage maxi should speak to your vintage style<\/a> personality — whether it’s a favorite cut, color or patterned maxi dress or a style specific to a particular decade — there’s a maxi that’s truly a “MAXImum” asset for you!<\/p>\n Do you own a maxi dress already?
