Mindy Kaling has a “summer fashion tip” we can get behind. She shared on Instagram that her advice is to “find one dress and wear it all the time with different groups of people.” In her July 18 post, she was wearing the same Tory Burch dress she posted four days prior.
We agree: Having a staple piece that matches every outfit in your closet helps simplify and pull together an outfit, and Kaling’s black maxi dress is just that.
A black dress is a staple in any closet, and maxi dresses, especially maxi length dresses, have been popular in recent years among celebrities like Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez. Maxi dresses cover your legs so you can layer them under lightweight sweaters and jackets.
