According to Miss Congeniality, the end of April is the best time of the year in terms of weather. If you recall, Miss Rhode Island misunderstood the question posed, describing her “perfect date” as April 25: “Not too hot, not too cold… all you need is a light jacket.”
In honor of the classic movie, we rounded up 21 maxi dresses that pair perfectly with a light jacket! We love this effortlessly chic combo, ideal for an afternoon adventure or an evening event. These breezy frocks are beautiful and graceful, just like Miss United States. Stay cool in these lovely maxi dresses while staying warm with a light jacket!
