How To Style A Maxi Skirt

The best thing you’ll ever add to your wardrobe. Learning how to style your black maxi skirt will come very naturally. You’ll quickly realize it matches with everything you already own.

The base to so many of your everyday looks, you can pair your black maxi skirt with your fave bold colors or keep it chic in an all-black ‘fit. Just because they’re a staple shade, doesn’t mean they’re boring. We’ve chosen a few of our faves that each have a unique feature. Think lace, embroidery and flattering silhouettes.

From brunch to the beach, your white maxi skirt is the go-to option for effortless looks. It’s the perfect blank canvas for creating dreamy outfits all-year-round.

For a playful vibe, pair it with saturated brights or bold summer stripes (perfect for euro summer vacays!).

Lean into the western festival aesthetic by styling your white maxi with faux suede or embroidered tops, finishing the look with a low-rise wide belt and biker boots.

If you gravitate towards more feminine styles, reach for a maxi skirt with gingham or check prints, and pair it with blouses, tops with tie-up details, or anglaise fabrics to add a soft-girl feel.

The ultimate it-girl shade, a brown maxi skirt is the versatile addition your capsule wardrobe will thank you for. Pair it with soft shades like baby blue or butter yellow for a vibrant, flattering color combo.

If you’re getting ready for euro summer, these tones should be front and center in your vacay suitcase. According to Char, our Global Style Director, brown maxi skirts look gorg’ with creamy whites or off-whites, especially for timeless, effortless looks. Bonus points if you tie in silver hardware accessories to complete the outfit.

“Brown and silver is such a cool pairing. Anything with silver hardware or eyelets gives brown tones this really chic, elevated edge,” says Char.

Suns out, maxi skirts on. If you’re entering the warmer seasons, your wardrobe should follow suit. Maxi skirts in bright prints and warm shades should be front and center.

Start by styling these spring and summer skirts with any basic tank or tee. Hot tip: layer your tanks! This easy trick makes a simple outfit stand out.

For trending styles, think shirred tops, feminine pieces with lace, floral or beaded details. Reach for asymmetrical and one-shoulder tops for brunch and day-time events and style your maxi skirt with cowl necks and plunging halters for your next night out.

Maxi skirts in the colder seasons are a big yes. They’re your chance to break out of the usual denim-and-knit uniform and play with layering in a way that feels on-trend and effortless.

For an elevated fall maxi skirt outfit, layer with an oversized blazer and keep your base layer fitted for a flattering silhouette. Off-the-shoulder sweaters and oversized cardis are always a cute option when you need something extra cozy.

“I love styling bias cut maxis at the moment. The diagonal cut across the fabric creates a natural stretch, and a super flattering drape,” says Char, our Global Style Director.

If you’re wearing a maxi on your next GNO, style it with boat neck tops with long sleeves and throw over a faux leather bomber to complete the look.
