How To Wear: The Maxi

A few blog posts ago we talked about our summer obsessions, one of which is maxi skirts. WE LOVE THEM! and we're sure our mothers do too!

Fashion forecasters predict maxi skirts will be HUGE this fall.

The question is how do you wear the maxi skirt without looking like old-fashioned or worse: OLD ?

Here's how! (in our opinion)

1- Stick to straight cuts and soft fabrics. It looks modern and chic.



2- Tuck in your blouse/shirt





3- Wear a belt if you have the tinest feeling that you look a bit shapeless.




4- You CAN wear jackets or cardigans with your maxi outfit. (you will NOT look like an old lady)




5- Avoid TOO flowy skirts. Avoid wearing shapless or bulky tops. They might look good on the runway but not on the regular fashionista!





These are not rules, they're just guidelines. So if you break any of them, and think your outfit looks good then it probably does. (just don't break all of them at once!)



Will you be wearing a maxi skirt? More importantly how?

xoxo
