Long-sleeved maxi dress
Maxi dresses are the ultimate staple for any closet. Not only do they tend to be comfortable, but they are easily dressed up or down. When they feature a long sleeve like the one Emilia Clarke wore to the Solo: A Star Wars Story premiere, you know you are getting a fashionable find.
While the dress that Clarke is wearing is all about the stripes and the unique gathering at the waist that gives this piece an elevated level of style, there is nothing wrong with opting for something simple and dressing it up yourself. In fact, a great way to dress up a maxi dress is by adding a belt because it changes the look and feel of the overall outfit.
From work to running errands, maxi dresses are truly versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down, and give us the feminine touch we want, but don’t always have time to create. No matter which dress you choose, just think: the Mother of Dragons rocked one too, so why not you?
Up first, we have a striped maxi dress from ASOS that features the long sleeves and V-neck that Clarke rocked. While this dress doesn’t have the added style of the gathered waistline, have no fear as this option is a wrap maxi with ruffles, meaning it gives you its own sense of style and flair. Currently on sale for $28.50, this dress is a steal and you won’t want to miss out and snagging it for yourself.
Another option for a long sleeve maxi dress is the black floral print long sleeve maxi dress from Lulus. Not only does it have a fun and flirty elegance to it, but at $50, you really can’t go wrong. Plus, the print itself adds a statement that will have you wanting to wear this every chance you get. (I am not usually a fan of a floral pattern, but this just works.)
