WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF VINTAGE-INSPIRED MAXI SUNDRESSES? Well, that depends on what era of fashion you feel like channeling today:

  • 40’s sundresses: Classic A-line maxi sundresses, often with button-up detailing are a timeless staple of 1940s women’s fashion. Breezy midi sundresses in floral prints, and vibrant solids (especially navy blue sundresses) were all the rage during this era.
  • 50’s sundresses: Rockabilly style began influencing fashion in the 1950’s, and this is the era when swing dresses, fit-and-flare maxi sundresses, and sleeveless maxi sundresses first made their debut! (Think Marilyn in her timeless, white halter-top dress). Tie-neck collars became a fashion must-have, and don’t forget the prints! Polka-dot maxi sundresses, plaid maxi sundresses, and deep emerald green maxi sundresses have been stealing hearts ever since.
  • 60’s sundresses: In the 1960’s, all manners of sleeveless maxi dresses became mainstream! The babydoll maxi sundress, smock maxi sundresses with Peter Pan collars, off the shoulder maxi sundresses, belted shift sundresses, shirred maxi sundresses, smocked maxi sundresses, and FINALLY maxi sundresses with pockets! Bold floral print maxi sundresses, leopard print maxi sundresses, and colorblock maxi sundresses are still fashion hallmarks of this iconic era. 
  • 70’s sundresses: Flowy maxi sundresses and kaftan sundresses with bold geometric prints can be traced back to the 1970s fashion era. Pinafore maxi dresses made a comeback in the 70’s, boho sundresses first hit the scene, and the groovy seventies also saw the emergence of bold floral sundresses. 
  • 80’s sundresses: Cute maxi sundresses reached went to new lengths in the 1980’s, and metallic print max sundresses reflected the spirit of the eighties. Maxi sundresses with puff sleeves, neon maxi sundresses, and T-shirt maxi sundress with playful graphics were all the rage, and Madonna made us fall in love with black mesh maxi sundresses as well as maxi sundresses with ruffles upon ruffles.
  • 90’s sundresses: Plaid maxi skirts, and plaid maxi sundresses came back in a major way during the 1990s fashion era. Floral maxi sundresses and sheer maxi sundresses hit the streets, and nothing beat a floral maxi slip dress layered under a flannel button-up top. Cute and casual maxi sundresses, bodycon dresses, and color block maxi sundresses also show up in timeless 90’s era dresses.
