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.
