Perfect Pairing: Maxi Dresses With Boyish Blazers

imageWith all of spring’s micro mini skirts and shorts, I was left wondering what I can wear when I’m feeling more modest. But for every micro mini on the runway, there were just as many maxi dresses. Long dresses often fall into two categories: the wear-to-the-beach maxi dress, or the formal gown. But the dresses for spring 2010 are anything but these two extremes – they’re perfect for day walking around the city, and when paired with a classic blazer they can even make their way into some offices. A jacket over a long dress looks much fresher than your time-tested cardigan. To avoid looking like you took your boyfriend’s jacket and haven’t gone home since last nights gala add some casual everyday accessories like flats and an oversized bag. Take a loose neutral long dress from the beach to the city by adding a tailored colored jacket and a platform wedge. Minimize the girlishness of a floral maxi dress with a leather vest and some studded flats. Check out some other cool maxi dress and blazer combos in the SLIDESHOW.
