Is the maxi skirt.
Maxis are out and about this season but when you think about it a long skirt has always been a fashion staple.
Maxis are being worn in various different ways; game changer for the wardrobe.
The maxi is no longer the-going-out-somewhere-formal-wardrobe piece; this skirt is for all day and every day.
Same piece, new look: I like that.
There are denim maxis, floral maxis and ethnic inspired maxis floating about.
The maxi I am adding to my wardrobe is the simple black one. Yes, it is a slightly longer black skirt but call it whatever, this works with just about everything.
Most fashion pieces are about re-invention. The maxi skirt is a classic piece; it is how we style it that puts it in play.
How To Wear The Maxi
*Maxi up with a tailored white shirt or a tee. Monochrome and maxi are the favourite “M and M’s” this season. Add the white denim jacket and a pair of lace-up espadrilles.
Dress the maxi with the decorative; a peplum or lace style blouse works beautifully with the maxi. Contrast the black skirt with ivory embroidery.
Wear the maxi with a racer back style tank and add a cute cropped jacket.
