In the sartorial universe, the general rule is that rising temperatures will also lead to rising hemlines. However, the ubiquitous maxi dress is back for yet another season on the Spring 2016 runways, with this bohemian chic staple set to rule the sidewalks. Whether you’re heading out for cocktails on a rooftop patio or enjoying a walk in the park, here are our favourite celebrity inspired ways to rock the trend now.

Vanessa Hudgens

For a relaxed and weekend-appropriate take on the maxi dress, take your style cues from boho chic trendsetter Vanessa Hudgens. The 27-year-old actress is a radiant yet entirely effortless sight in this dainty black and white dotted number. The spaghetti strap frock is accented with subtle side cut-outs, along with a figure-flattering bodice. To truly showcase her low key style, Hudgens keeps her look casual with round sunglasses and chunky black leather sandals.

Olivia Wilde

If you prefer to experiment with feminine florals, follow the shining example set by Hollywood bombshell Olivia Wilde. We are liking the 32-year-old actress’ flowing sky blue dress, which is adorned with a light blue, green and white garden print. To bring a hint of edge to her ensemble, Wilde pairs her alluring dress with a sleek black leather jacket, classic aviators and contrasting red strappy sandals.

Bella Thorne 

With her fiery red locks, the 18-year-old actress looks angelic in this flowing white creation which showcases her toned physique. The lightweight fabric, slightly voluminous hemline and cut-out accents around the mid-section help to emphasize her figure. Meanwhile, Thorne’s retro inspired sunglasses, strappy flat sandals and gold chain necklaces enhance her chic and wearable bohemian style.
