maxi skirts

floor grazing maxi skirts and dresses are having a moment right now and what’s not to like? i am so happy to see designer labels such as 3.1 Phillip Lim,Missoni, and J. Crew feature fresh takes on the trend in their fall runway shows.

tips for wearing a maxi:

when worn correctly, maxi skirts and dresses are as flattering as they are fashionable. however, playing with proportion can be tricky. with longer lengths, it’s all about balance. to avoid being a fashion victim, follow these tips for maxi-friendly dressing…

1. The sky’s the limit. No matter your height (yes, I am talking to you, petite ladies) you can wear floor length dresses and skirts. That’s why they invented heels.
2. It’s a balancing act. Keep the scale of the skirt in mind. Floor length skirts look lovely with tighter fitting tops (tucked in and/or belted at the natural waist). If the skirt is cut closer to the body, opt for a looser fitting top. Cropped jackets and sweaters also work well with floor length dresses and skirts. One of my favorite casual outfits is a simple maxi dress paired with a cropped denim jacket.
3. Be bold! Fashion is all about taking risks, I’ve seen girls style their maxi skirts with slouchy sweaters, tied denim shirts, and simple tucked-in tees for an effortlessly unfussy yet chic look.
