Cold Shoulder Crochet Lace Sleeve Loose Beach Dress

There's nothing as effortless as throwing on a maxi dress. Like jumpsuits, it's an instant outfit on its own yet can be adapted for a multitude of occasions. Top it off with a denim jacket and you have a casual look for a backyard bbq. Wear the versatile piece as a cover-up over your favorite swimsuit for lazy beach days. Or pair a wispy floral number with dressy heels and voila—wedding guest attire. The ankle-grazing silhouette elongates the frame and looks great on everyone. Flattering designs offer everything from fluttery sleeves to waist-defining accents to complement curvy figures. If the maxi is on the longer side, try it with a block heel or wedge for a lift and to balance out the proportions. Flat sandals or white sneakers also complement the style and lend an effortless quality.

From trendy prints to shoulder-baring necklines to cute options with pockets (and some cheap yet cheery Amazon gems), we gathered the most stylish plus-size maxi dresses available to shop this summer.
