As the weather warms up, it seems local fashionistas have jumped at the opportunity to ditch the heavy winter garb for a lighter wardrobe. In keeping with the retro vibe, San Francisco street style mavens, as well as a few of our favorite celebrities have been spotted parading around in one of the current seasons revisited styles; the maxi dress. Fashion designers such as Emilio Pucci, and Diane Von Furstenburg sent fashion models sashaying down the catwalk draped in quintessential gypsy inspired pieces, factoring into the ‘70s trend for spring 2011.
Without missing a beat, bay area natives (see photos) and style icons such as Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba and Drew Barrymore gravitated toward long, airy, sheer silhouettes covered in abstract patterns and animal prints, adding a bit of glam to the bohemian aesthetic.What’s great about the maxi dress is its ability to be worn with ease, while still coming off amazingly sexy. To wear the maxi by day, add a fringe belt tied low around the waist, leather sandal and floppy hat for a care free look and by night go with a platform wedge shoe, accentuated with chunky bangles, large hoop or feather earrings, making sure to keep makeup natural with a bronze glow for a flirty flower child look. With the myriad of chic, reasonably priced styles available, finding the perfect maxi dress should be no problem. If you’re looking for something truly unique and original, shop around at some of San Francisco’s vintage stores or rummage through the attic for mom’s old duds. Feel like splurging?
