Over the last month, I've probably worn this dress 3-4 times. It's become my go-to piece because it's so incredibly versatile. It's not specifically a maternity dress, but the relaxed silhouette has been working beautifully for me.

So far, I've styled it three different ways: on its own for a simple, elegant look; layered with a cozy cotton sweater for cooler days; and with a suede or leather jacket for an edgier vibe. Today I'm sharing my two favorite ways to wear it.

Look #1: Classic & Simple

For the first look, I kept things minimal and let the dress speak for itself. I paired it with strappy heeled sandals that elongate the leg and add a touch of sophistication. This is my go-to for date nights, dinners out, or any occasion where I want to look put-together without trying too hard.

The Details:

• Dress: Free People (wearing a medium)
• Shoes: Schutz Strappy Sandals
• Bag: Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag
• Sunglasses: Celine

Look #2: Layered & Cozy

The second look is all about comfort with style. I layered a cropped cotton sweater over the dress, creating an interesting silhouette that looks like a coordinated set. Paired with slide sandals instead of heels, this look is perfect for running errands, weekend brunches, or casual get-togethers with friends.

The Details:

• Dress: Free People (wearing a medium)
• Sweater: Free People (wearing an XS)
• Shoes: Manolo Blahnik Slides
• Bag: Vintage Chanel

Why This Dress Works

What makes this dress so special? Let me count the ways:

• Versatile Silhouette: The relaxed fit works for various body types and occasions
• Neutral Color: Easy to style with any accessories or layers
• Quality Fabric: Drapes beautifully and doesn't wrinkle easily
• Seasonless: Layer it in cooler months, wear it alone when it's warm
• Comfortable: You can wear it all day without feeling restricted

Styling Tips

Here are some additional ways you could style a dress like this:

• Add a belt to cinch the waist and create more definition
• Layer with a denim or leather jacket for an edgier look
• Style with sneakers for a sporty, casual vibe
• Add statement jewelry to dress it up for evening events
• Pair with ankle boots in the fall and winter
