Maxi-mize Your Style

This is my favorite way to rock a maxi skirt. Classic and effortlessly preppy. I would wear this dark brown maxi skirt with a gorgeous silk blouse tucked in. To mix materials I would pair the flowy silk blouse with a thick leather belt. Over the blouse, wear a menswear tailored gray blazer, and on your feet a pair of brown leather oxfords to finish off the look. This adds up to a flawless look combining classic fashion with up to date trends.

A look not for the faint of heart. Take a maxi skirt to a glamorous level in winter white. Play with proportion by wearing a long sweater in a complimenting neutral like nude or cream. Keep the shoes easy, like these white cut-out flats. Take it to the next level by wearing a faux-fur coat, one of the seasons top trends. It will take the maxi skirt trend into evening wear.

All over fall runways, maxi skirts were making an appearance. Above we see a lovely printed maxi skirt at Tibi, a luxe white skirt at Reed Krakoff, a long thick sweater over a preppy, yet ethereal camel skirt at Richard Chai, and an all gray ensemble at Michael Kors. While these are definitely runway looks, there is a way to integrate maxi skirts into your day to day look. They add unexpected glamor to basic pieces. So here is the first installment of three ways to wear maxi skirts!

Pair a maxi skirt with simple separates to keep it chic - not over the top. A white tee shirt tucked in with a chain link belt, a buttery leather jacket, a black and silver bib necklace and black booties give this look polish while maintaining some edginess.
