The Maxi Skirt: How To Wear It Now & Later

by Jennifer Ash

Great trends come and go, but the maxi skirt will forever hold a special place in our hearts (and closets). It’s incredibly comfortable, comes in a range of price points and, perhaps most importantly, looks great on a variety of body types. And because the style is officially back—and chicer than ever—we think it’s a wise choice to invest in the easy-breezy silhouette ASAP. Here, a few of our favorite maxi skirts and a handful of stylish ways to wear them now and later.

Wear It Now

Add an off-the-shoulder top and suede accessories for a summer night out.

Wear It Later

Come fall, wear it with a thin, turtleneck sweater and ankle booties. Add polish with a pinkish nude lip.

Wear It Now

On warm days, a denim maxi skirt pairs well with a cropped tank and neutral accessories.

Wear It Later

When the weather cools, wear it with a silk blouse, knee-high boots and a leather cross-body bag.

Wear It Now

A maxi skirt in an edgy print calls for understated accessories and basic separates.

Wear It Later

For a chilly night out, style it with an oversize sweater, modern jewelry and statement sandals.
