The Maje Dresses Worth Buying
Maje dresses cover a lot of ground, from the occasion and party styles to the everyday knits and the flowing maxi shapes. We pull together the ones worth knowing, with a clear view on which to buy for what.
Occasion and party dresses
These are the Maje dresses for weddings, parties and nights out. The bustier and embellished styles in taffeta, tulle and rhinestone read dressy without going over the top. Buy here when you have an event and want one dress that does the work.
Knit dresses for everyday
The knit dresses are the everyday workhorses, easy to wear and warm through the colder months. The jacquard and rib styles hold their shape, and the Breton stripe version is the casual one. Reach for these for work and weekends rather than events.
Midi and tailored shapes
The midi length is the most versatile Maje does, smart enough for work and easy for daytime events. The linen-blend and flared cuts suit warmer days, the metallic ruffled styles dress up after dark. A good first Maje dress if you want one that flexes.
Maxi and flowing dresses
The maxi styles are the ones for summer and holidays, light and easy in patterned and ruffled cotton blends. The embroidered linen versions feel more considered than a basic sundress. Buy these for warm weather and layering with sandals.
The buyer's brief
How to choose
What we weigh before a Maje dress earns a place here.
Occasion
The embellished and bustier styles are for events. The knits and midis handle work and everyday. Decide where you will wear it before you choose a shape.
Length
Midi is the most versatile and works for most settings. Maxi suits summer and holidays, mini and short styles read dressier for nights out.
Fabric
Knit holds its shape and works in the cold. Linen blend and cotton suit warm days. Taffeta, tulle and rhinestone are the going-out fabrics.
Sizing
Maje tends to cut on the smaller side, especially on fitted bustier and tailored styles. Size up if you are between sizes or want room.
When to spend
An occasion dress earns its keep if you have events coming up. For everyday, the knits and midis give you the most wear per pound.
Good to know
Answered
Maje is a French contemporary brand, sitting above the high street but below the big luxury houses. The dresses are priced as considered buys rather than fast fashion.
