I’m tall and thin, so I covet the curves some of my friends have. There are so many things I can’t wear, because they’re just not flattering on my stick-person body! But there is one trend I can wear well, so I’m glad it’s still here — maxis. For some reason, even I look great in this long, lean trend… and so do all of m curvy friends! Some of the best maxi pieces I’ve seen have been at Free People… they’re all so well-made and versatile! Here are 7 gorgeous maxis from Free People.

This patterned maxi dress is ideal for summer, with an all-over polka dot pattern and wide flowers scattered about. The neckline is a flattering halter, and the sides are slit for easy walking (and for showing some of your lovely legs). Pair with a cropped cardi, leggings and boots for winter, or with strappy flat sandals and a loose braid for summer.

Maxi doesn’t have to mean “dress.” It can be other clothes, too, like this gorgeous semi-sheer floral maxi skirt. It’s slightly longer in the back than in front, and is so pretty layered over leggings and lace-up booties or under a vest or cardi. There’s no fuss at the waist, either, with a simple pull-on elastic band and no buttons or zippers to fuss with.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
