I came
across this photo of Gabrielle Union at the New York Fashion Week, (Which
by the way is in full swing and giving me major fashion joy), wearing a pleated
maxi skirt in this gorgeous cobalt blue colour. I thought, gosh! she
totally killed it! I like it! why not do a post on ways to style
the maxi skirt?

Longer lengths in skirts are the rage now, especially midi
length skirts. But I have chosen the maxi skirt for it's unversal appeal,
it is flattering on most shapes. My absolute fav things about the maxi
skirt is how incredibly comfy it can be and it's ability to
instantly lengthen the figure. - Here are some great ways to take this
must-have wardrobe staple from boardroom to a swanky soiree.
1. Pair Maxi with a chic button up shirt, add a
structured tote and some acessories for a stylish smart casual look that can go
from the office to a lunch date. A fitted shirt and a belt is a great way to
balance out the volume of the skirt and keep the look smart.
2. Throw-on a tailored blazer to streamline the volume
of the skirt, a cropped style jacket would be a good choice for this look
as it would balance out the length of the skirt. Add some fab accessories for a
trendy take on the 9 to 5.
3. A basic Tee shirt or Tank and the maxi skirt are two wardrobe
staple that can allow for a lot of versatility. Add a wedge for even more
lengthening of your silhouette or a simple flat sandal and accessories for that
effortless casual look.
4. A fab printed blouse and a maxi skirt is a
combination bound to make a bold statement, of course in a stylish way.
5.
Consider a glitzy maxi for a glam event if you want to go full-on, or pare down
the look by pairing maxi with a sequin blouse and accessories. A bit of shimmer
is always a great party look.
6. A highwaisted maxi skirt paired with fashions current obsession
‘the crop top’, is a trendy take on a fab casual look.
So tell me, how do you work your
maxi skirt?
Catch you soon!
