In the ever-changing world of fashion, there are some garments whose craze never wanes, and the maxi skirt is one of them. Besides being comfortable, it gives you a graceful and elegant look. Whether it’s your first day of college, an important office meeting, an outing with friends, or an evening party—with the right styling, a maxi skirt can make you stand out from the crowd on every occasion. Often, women purchase it, but failing to choose the right top ruins the entire look. According to style experts, you should always choose upper-wear with a maxi skirt that balances your body shape and defines your waist well.
Maxi skirts are ruling the glamour world
From Mumbai street fashion to social media influencers, maxi skirts are trending with a variety of tops these days. If you’re looking to give your wardrobe a fresh and modern twist, this customized styling guide will be a great help:
- The evergreen basic T-shirt look: If you want to look effortless and stylish this summer, pair a simple white or black basic T-shirt with a flowy maxi skirt. This is the safest and coolest combination for travel, coffee dates, or weekend outings.
- Perfect Fit with a Peplum Top: A peplum top beautifully highlights your waistline. If you have a flared skirt, pairing it with a peplum top can create a chic look for a family get-together or shopping.
- Glamorous off-the-shoulder style: For a night party or a special date, pair a neutral-shade skirt with a black or red off-the-shoulder or asymmetrical top. Pair this look with statement earrings and high heels for a trendy and photogenic look.
- Classy Formal Shirt Combination: These days, pairing a formal shirt with a maxi skirt is a popular trend in corporate and office wear. Tuck the shirt in slightly, pair it with a sleek belt and block heels. This will give you the perfect professional look.
- Waistcoat and Satin Skirt (Old Money Look): If you want to look regal and polished, try a waistcoat with a satin maxi skirt. This “old money aesthetic” look is becoming increasingly popular on social media these days.
- Cardigan and A-line skirt: For casual outings or mildly cooler weather, pair a slim-fit cardigan with an A-line skirt. This simple style, often seen in Korean dramas, suits women of all ages.
Choose your style according to your body type:
- Plus Size or Tummy Fat: If you have fat around the stomach, choose a peplum top with a high-waist maxi skirt and prefer dark colors.
- Short: Short women should opt for a monochrome look. Wearing platform heels with a high-waisted skirt can make you appear taller.
- Curvy figure: If you have a curvy body, wear a fitted top with a skirt. Avoid overly loose or oversized tops.
Don’t make these mistakes even by mistake:
- Overdose of oversized: Never wear an oversized or loose top with a loose skirt, it makes the look look tired.
- Wrong length: Avoid skirts that are too long and drag on the floor, as this can make walking difficult and also ruin your look.
- Print overload: If the skirt is heavily printed, always keep the top plain (solid). Avoid mixing too many prints at once.
