30 Unconventional Maxi Dresses

From Contemporary Occult Attire to Elegantly Fitted Frocks

— August 13, 2014 — Fashion
From Killstar's occult-themed frocks to Givenchy's geometric statement fashions, these unconventional maxi dresses embrace instant glamour.

While separates allow for versatility when it comes to one's outfit choices, maxi dresses offer a simple and chic solution for indecisive fashion lovers who are looking to make a sharp and memorable style statement.

Most maxi dresses can be worn as day and evening looks depending on one's accessories and styling. These unconventional examples are guaranteed to get one noticed and range from the ultra-elegant and high-end to the urban and technology-infused.

One of the most memorable examples from this list include the Aurora Dress by CuteCircuit. This LED-lit gown makes an instant splash at non-traditional wedding ceremonies and prom events that are in need of a vivid statement piece.
