How To Make Your Long Maxi Skirts With Flowers As Versatile As Possible

By Elaine Guthrie


One item of clothing that keeps appearing year after year is the maxi skirt. This is a long, flowing style that usually reaches the ground. If you are interested in adding long maxi skirts with flowers to your wardrobe, here is what you need to know in order to choose the right one for you and accessorize it properly.

Fit is important with maxis just like they are with any other piece of clothing. They are designed to be loose and flow around your body but some will still fit better than others. Look for hem lengths that are at or slightly above the ground. Look for a skirt that fits well over the hips and waist so that you do not need to worry about the skirt dragging down as you wear it.

You also need to pay attention to the floral pattern on the skirt itself. If you want your maxi to work with as many different separates as possible you will want to keep the pattern as simple as possible. A heavily flowered maxi can make an outfit look mismatched if you try and pair it with any other patterns. If you want a very coordinated look, pulling the colors for your separates from the colors found in the flowers can make for a great coordinated look.

You may want to keep in mind where you will be wearing your skirt as well. You do need to factor in the fact that these are loose, unstructured garments and can often look very informal. It is possible to wear them to work but you may need to work harder to make them seem workplace appropriate. In this case, choosing a pattern that has only a few flowers is important. Pairing it with understated accessories and a more formal, structured top may help you achieve a workplace-appropriate look that still features a long maxi skirt.

While you may think that this style of skirt is only wearable when the weather is warm, this is not actually the case. You can extend the life of these skirts by pairing them with leggings underneath. Some leggings can be quite warm. If you have a skirt that is made out of slightly thicker material you may be able to look good wearing it during the spring and fall instead of simply limiting it to your summer wardrobe.

Accessories are always fun to use when creating an outfit and pairing them with a maxi is no exception to this. If you are going out someplace and want to look dressed up a great pair of dressy sandals and some chunky jewelry can really make your outfit pop. If you know that you will want to look more formal you may want to add flats instead and keep your jewelry looking smaller and understated.

While hem length is the first thing that people think of when shopping for petites, in the case of maxi skirts, there may be other differences as well. For example, if you are very short you may want to look for a skirt that is cut more narrowly so that there is not so much fabric wrapped around you.

If you want to start adding these items to your wardrobe but don't want to spend a huge amount of money on them, the internet is a great place to look for options. You may be able to find maxis that look good and which fit you well at a fraction of the price that you spend in a store. Just remember to pay attention to the sizing chart in order to make sure you will get one that fits you properly.
