Life’s too short to worry about what to wear.™
We take the guesswork out of dressing, the legwork out of shopping, and the panic out of packing. Great style and advice on demand, non-stop. What to wear... anywhere! W2WW donates 25% of our profit from sales to organizations that help women and the environment, so shop guilt-free!
Sure we'd all love to look like Angelina Jolie, floating around the globe in those billowy long dresses, but how does the style really fair on us mere mortals? If you're not attending a black or white tie event, do you like maxi dresses in town or on the beach? Follow our debate as we give you our favorite looks for day and evening wear and don't forget to tell us what you think.
KK: Who here remembers the 70’s – parts of it, like “granny dresses” as we called them, I would like to forget. Haight them.
GEORGIANA: I'm quite short, so have always avoided long dresses as they projected me into oompa loompa height realm. As of late, however, I've changed my tune, particularly if you get the right look and shape (although I always have to wear with some sort of heel), they are the perfect summer staple. Here are my picks for on the beach, in town and summer evenings.
On the Beach: Diane von Furstenberg Ganza Sunset Silk Chiffon Slip Dress, $360
Summer Evening: M Missoni Tulip Knit Maxi Dress, $445
On the Town: Helmut Lang Racer Back Jersey Dress, $230
Funnily enough, Lara and I picked the same dress to wear on the town - I'd definitely wear it with a light colored or
brown belt to crop it a few inches.
LARA: Being that I stride in a different stratosphere (I’m over
5’10”, yeah I know?!) I have been having fun with the maxi-trend.

On the Beach: Bop Basics Smock Maxi Dress, $140
When I’m beach-bound I love that a maxi can take you straight from the sea to a restaurant. I find myself packing them to most beach destinations as with the addition of a necklace and bangles can look great for a casual evening out. This Bop Basics Smock Maxi dress has a hint of gold in the fabric and will look great in the sun!
Summer Evening: ADAM Deep V Long Dress with Back Loop, $332.50 (was $475)
I find this ADAM Cerulean dress dead sexy. I love the simplicity of the V-neck front juxtaposed with the plunging back. The extra-long tie in the back allows for multiple styles.
