Don't toss it out just yet, because this is a look that still has legs. With a few cool styling tricks, you can breathe new life into your old faithful, whether that be layering it up, adding a chunky belt, slipping on a pair of statement sandals, or — if you're handy with a needle and thread — adding a few ruffles. If you're in the market to buy a new maxi dress, look for elongated shirt dresses with buttons, voluminous halter necks, or slinky slips you can wear well into Autumn with the help of a long-sleeved top. Looking for further outfit inspiration? Let these street style stars show you how it's done.
