Linen maxi dresses are made for long, lazy days in the sun. And those heat-of-summer nights. Light, airy and easy. Just throw one on, add some sandals, a floppy hat and a roomy tote for daytime. Then swap into heeled sandals and a mini bag for night. Plain maxis are good for accessorising and a printed linen maxi dress is good if you want a bit of a statement. The great thing about linen is it’s really breathable. So a linen maxi dress will feel pretty airy. Cool in both senses of the word.
