Maxi skirts are feminine, chick and your perfect statement to embrace. Here are tips on how you can wear it:-
1) A casual, White Top at your rescue:
The first and easiest way to style a maxi skirt is to do it with a simple white top. No matter what the skirt looks like a top like this, will work. I chose this style because it is elevated from a simple t-shirt or tank top, it’s a little dressier. Plus, it has shape, which is important when wearing a long skirt, show off your waist. Additionally, the fabric is beefy enough to cover any belly lumps and bumps.
With the deep v-neck, a coral necklace fills in the neckline, brings the colors of the print up near the face and finishes the look. If a white top isn’t your best color, coral can be. Considered a universal color, meaning that all skin tones look good in coral. The outfits can be finished with gold sandals.
2) Maxi skirts for work:-
Extra care needs to be taken when wearing a maxi skirt this way because the skirt can be very casual. In corporate work environments a maxi skirt is a definite no, don’t even consider it. However, with the right coordinating pieces, a maxi skirt can be worn in a business casual environment. In the case of wearing a maxi skirt to work it is important that what you style this skirt with professional pieces.
By pairing tailored with soft the skirt looks more work ready.Choose a simple layering top in olive, a belted linen blazer that cinches the waist (remember the waist is important), a professional work sandal (if you can wear maxi skirts to the office you can probably wear open toe shoes) a structured work hand bag and simple orange drop earrings. Remember, when wearing a maxi skirt to work, it’s work, not a vacation.
3) With a chambray shirt will look classic:
Chambray or denim shirts, when you wear them it’s like turning an outfit upside down, the denim is on the top and the color or print is on the bottom. Therefore, a chambray shirt is a great option to wear with a summer maxi because it will go with whatever your maxi skirt looks like. It’s a great fail-safe, like the white shirt.
To give this outfit some shape (reiterating the importance of shape again), belt the top with a cool belt, use the same coral necklace and straw bag again and added some height with these heeled summer sandals.
4) With a drapey top will look sexy
Unless you are super thin and tall, a loose top and maxi skirt seldom works. From a proportion perspective, most women will look like a big, diaphanous mess, heavier than they really are, short and wide– not exactly what most women are going for in a look. Usually, however, especially when a woman is feeling particularly bloated and fat, she will think she is hiding her feelings of fatness underneath tons of loose layers. Sadly, the opposite is true.
Shapeless clothing usually just makes a woman look shapeless unless she is built like a coat hanger and clothing drapes off of her beautifully. I caution you from too much drape on top when you’ve got a lot of drape going on down below. My suggestion to you is that when considering a loose top with a long summer maxi skirt is to try the entire look out and see if, proportionately it works. However, as a go-to look to hide out underneath, be warned, again, shapeless will just make you look shapeless.
The outfit can be finished with a long necklace,to add more easy drape, the same gold sandals, as used earlier, and a striped,smart clutch. You will see if the hues in the stripe of the bag matches perfectly to the colors in the skirt it will create a kickass look. But if it seems too wack-a-doo for your taste, a simple gold clutch would work just fine.
