The piece
How to choose and wear a maxi skirt
A skirt that reaches the ankle. Flowing and relaxed, it suits warm weather and easy weekend outfits.
How to choose
- Light, fluid fabrics (viscose, satin, cotton voile) move well; heavy fabrics swamp.
- A fitted waist keeps the volume below from overwhelming you.
- Solid colours or small prints look more expensive.
Common mistakes
- ✕A voluminous top on top of all that volume.
- ✕Dragging hems.
- ✕Chunky winter boots with a summer maxi.
Care: Wash gently or hand wash; hang to dry.
In a capsule: A summer capsule piece; midi skirts cover more of the year.
