Everyone can wear a maxi skirt, the key is to make sure it fits your body type and the style of the top is crafted to show off the skirt to perfection.
Pleated Skirts
A pleated skirt like the Club L flared maxi can appear to be bulky unless paired with a small tank top. A flowing skirt with layers of material can add weight unless you consider the kind of shirt you’ll be wearing with it. A fitted tank or small t-shirt can be cool and breezy for summer even with the full length of the maxi skirt.
Professional
If you’re wearing a maxi to work in an office or professional environment like the Niku Ancle by Vero Moda, pairing it with a fitted Oxford shirt can be the perfect combination. It’s suitable for the office, yet casual and extremely comfortable. The fit of the shirt will not give you a frumpy shape, or leave you looking bulky.
Be Daring
A maxi skirt doesn’t have to be a floor-length cover up. A daring slit up the side can make it sexy or part of the skirt can be sheer like the tube Jersey from Saint Tropez. If there’s no slit, make sure to show your arms and shoulders on top, or wear a shirt with a sexy neckline.
Patterned Skirts
A maxi skirt doesn’t have to be a solid color, but if you use a print or pattern on the skirt like the Abbie Mixed skirt by Only, keep the top simple. A skirt with a bright, bold pattern can be a beautiful change from a solid color. The shirt will have to be muted, so the look isn’t overpowering. A chunky necklace can break up the shirt for visual appeal.
