What is a "maxi"?

A maxi is a full-length dress that falls to the ankle or floor and is characterized by its flowing and relaxed fit. The dress can be made in a variety of fabrics, including cotton, silk, or chiffon, and often features bold prints or solid colors. Maxi dresses are versatile and can be dressed up or down for different occasions. They are particularly popular in the summer months and can be worn with sandals or wedges for a casual daytime look, or with heels and statement jewelry for a more formal evening event.
