With the polar vortex soon to be on it’s way out, spring is finally coming to town, and the last thing you should be worrying about is what to wear in between seasons. It’s time you invest in some transitional pieces or rediscover ones you may have already. One of those pieces is a maxi skirt.
Bringing back ’70s style, maxi skirts are all the rage this spring and summer season. The fullness and flounce of the skirt style adds a dose of femininity to any look while being a quick and no fuss throw on, perfect for every day wear. From an asymmetrical hemline to side slits, to a striped cotton tube skirt to a printed version, the many variations of styles make them unique and versatile for any Fashionista.
When wearing a maxi skirt, it’s important to pick pieces that will flatter your figure from top to bottom. Since they are fuller pieces, it’s easy to get lost underneath if you’re not cognizant of accentuating your torso and your waistline. For fuller maxi skirts, wear more fitted tops that can either be tucked in or paired with a thin belt to cinch at the waist. If you’re looking to add a bit more of a sex appeal, take a tip from this Fashionista, and pair it with a crop top! If you’re skirt has a tighter fit, go for a looser top such as a light knit sweater or an oversized T-shirt.
This Fashionista chose a stand out color with her coral pleated maxi skirt, pairing it with a lace crochet top that gives off an ethereal vibe. She keeps the look boho-esque with understated accessories such as her long oriental necklace, leather studded cuff and her gold Alex and Ani bracelet. She finishes off the look with cognac buckled wedges, which are also very on-trend right now and a brown leather tote, which is perfect for class!
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I like to keep my look comfortable and practical yet still on the more conservative side for when I run from class to work. For this look in particular, I usually pair it with a light cardigan or a denim jacket.”
