1. Pair Your Maxi with a Simple Tee Knotted at the Waist

Sometimes simple is better. As a matter of fact, personally, I feel like simple is almost always better and stands out a little more in the fashion world. Simple is tasteful and classic! Wear your maxi skirt with a loose tee and knot it at the waist. You can add a statement necklace for a touch of pizzazz!

Ask

2. Rock Your Maxi as a Dress Instead of a Skirt

Break the rules! Who says you need to wear all items of clothing the way they were meant to be worn? Bust out of the box and get creative! You can pull your maxi skirt up and wear it as a tube dress! I usually add a jacket or cardigan over my maxi skirts when I wear them as a dress.

Ask

3. Chambray Always Looks Effortless and Chic with a Maxi

When in doubt, reach for the chambray! Knotting your chambray at the waist or leaving a few buttons open and putting a lace cami underneath to peek out are my two fave ways to style chambray with my maxi! You can also add a skinny belt to really define your waist and give texture to the outfit.

Ask

4. Wear Your Maxi Skirt in the Winter by Adding a Motorcycle Jacket

Who says maxi skirts are only for the summer? You can pull them off in the winter and fall too. A leather biker jacket really toughens up the soft boho feel of a maxi and gives an edgy look to your outfit.

Discover the mystique and charm of historical garments with our carefully curated inspiration from the medieval era. If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!

5. Need a Professional Look? Wear a Blazer with Your Maxi

Want to wear your comfy and soft maxi to the office? You can totally give your maxi a professional yet wearable approach by pairing a fitted blazer with it! Add a collared blouse underneath and some statement jewelry and you have instantly married the perfect comfy and work appropriate outfit.

Ask

6. Tie a Knot in Your Maxi Skirt for a Breezy, Summery Look

I’m short, so if I’m lucky enough to find a maxi skirt that doesn’t need to be hemmed up…well that rarely happens! While tailoring your clothes to fit is a great idea, sometimes I’m lazy and just tie a knot in my skirt. You can knot it to your ankles or your knees, your preference! Plus it’s a perfect summery look that is unique and cool.

***

Adding a knot to your maxi skirt not only brings a practical solution to the all-too-common length issue for those of us not graced with model-like height but also injects a touch of laid-back chic to your ensemble. By doing this, you create a playful asymmetry that shows off your shoes and gives the skirt a whole new silhouette. It's a non-committal alteration, meaning if you're opting for a more traditional look the next day, you can simply unknot and go! This effortlessly stylish tweak works wonderfully for spontaneous beach trips or casual hangouts with friends.

7. A Belted Cardigan Gives a Maxi Skirt the Perfect Date Night Vibe

Take your maxi from day to night by throwing on a cardigan and a belt! The belt really defines your waist and cardigans add a sweet, casual, yet still dressy vibe! Add some bangles or dangly earrings to bling up the look and you’re good to go!

Maxi skirts are so comfy and effortless, yet they look so pulled together and are perfect for nearly any occasion if you style them right! You can’t go wrong with a solid black maxi skirt, but there are tons of pretty and trendy patterns in stores right now! Fun colors are also all the rage this summer. How would you rock a maxi skirt if you wore one tomorrow?

  I wear them a lot but then I am old enough to have been wearing them for years. Very comfortable and very feminine and men seem to prefer them to pants when you wear them. You are not showing off your butt to other men maybe ?
