Maxi Skirts

Maxi dresses have been a huge hit this year with celebrities and fashionistas alike. This trend has recently transformed into the maxi skirt. This is a more versatile way to wear the maxi trend because you are able to wear skirts in more ways than dresses. This trend is perfect for spring and summer because it steers away from predictable pants or shorts and gives a more fun, breezy way to dress up. Here are a couple ways to wear this trend:

This outfit consists of a sand colored maxi skirt. This color has been seen all over the runways and in stores this spring. It is a completley adaptable color to anyones skin tone. Try pairing a maxi skirt with a embellished tank top and a cropped jacket. Make sure your jacket is cropped or fitted to the body to avoid looking too boxy. If you're short, try adding nude wedges to add height and look taller. If your tall, add a nude sandal. Finish the look with floral earrings and a straw tote. You are ready for a spring day doing just about anything!

This outfit consists of a floral gauze maxi skirt. Because the skirt is so patterned, try keeping the top and accessories monochromatic. A black tank would be perfect. Try belting a flowy tank to add interest and define your waist. Or, tuck the tank in to have the same effect. Finish off with black sandals and a colored bag and earrings. Pick a color from the skirt and add accessories accordingly. This really brings the outfit together and gives you that polished look.










The last word - Don't be scared of maxi skirts! They are perfect for spring and summer, and will look good on any body shape and height. They can be worn a multitude of ways. It is just about picking what you're comfortable in and making it work for you. Trends are meant to be tried! Good luck :)
