The one hit wonder of our dreams, the maxi dress is a Lilly favorite for all the right reasons. The maxi dress is effortless and breezy and a go-to for warmer months and climates. Need to add some length to your look? Lilly Pulitzer boasts a range of maxi dresses, from a-line styles to elegant empire-waist looks and more dresses. You'll find prints you'll adore and colors to swoon for. And whether you're going dressed up or down, the best Black maxi dress for your next outing is right here. Here are just a few things to think about when you're scoping out your next long dress look.

How to wear

The Black maxi dress doesn't show up to the party, it brings the party. Featuring a modest cut with chic details and designer touches every step of the way, Lilly's collection of maxi and midi dresses are perfect on their own or with an outer layer.

And it's all about the layers especially when warm turns to cool and you transition your tiered maxi dress or halter maxi dress from day to night. A cropped jacket is just the right compliment. Try a long wrap sweater or oversized scarf wrap for a dramatic statement and a comfortable way to make sure you're always prepared for a cold snap.

If you love a print but can't decide on how to wear it, accessorize from head to toe with jewelry, handbags and footwear. If your sandals or platform shoes are too amazing to be hidden, go with a Black maxi dress that boasts a peekaboo side slit. Shop this style and more Lilly bestsellers.

Neckline

How do you like to show your shoulders? Embrace them with a sleeveless maxi dress style or keep it coy with a long sleeve style that offers more coverage. And when it comes to cut, there's flowy, fitted, and everything in between. It's all up to you! Of course, there's no need to make one maxi do everything. We like to have a few around to swap into the rotation as seasonal and social calendars change.

Off the shoulder Black maxi dresses give you access to that effortless can't-be-bothered cool. But if you're looking to show just a peek of skin, a cold shoulder style is the way to go. Meanwhile, v-neck or surplice-style necklines are a classic choice that can't go wrong.

Style variety

Lilly Pulitzer maxi dresses run the gamut. From casual, floor-length dresses to laid-back shirt dresses to wrap dresses, these come in so many styles. Strappy or halter? Splashy or subtle? Long sleeve maxi dresses, short sleeve, or sleeveless? Maybe it's mother-daughter matching outfits? We have those too! Shop all this and more at Lilly Pulitzer.
