Fashionable maxi skirts: how to wear them from morning to evening

If you are short, the right pair of heels will lengthen your silhouette; if you are curvy, the right model enhances your curves or hides what you don't want others to see; if you're tall, you've won easily: in short, maxi skirts are good for everyone and luckily - for everyone! - are the new trend of the moment. A trend, we would dare say, democratic: and yes, we needed it!

In fact, they never really left the wardrobe, if anything they were considered the procurement of the most nostalgic of retro-style fashions ("long live your mother, fond of that slightly long skirt"...), or a few other visionaries who, as has now been loudly declared by the fashion world, had already identified the peaks of femininity and sexuality achievable with the right pencil skirt.

Knee-length, calf-length, fitted or flared: let's discover together the proposals of our top brands and the thousand ways to wear a maxi skirt from evening to morning!

Change of accessories, change of mood: how to match maxi skirts

Often, a change of accessories is enough to change the mood of a maxi skirt from one occasion of use to another. A practical example? A tulle skirt can become a fun item for free time if worn with a pair of sneakers (better to avoid, among flat shoes, ballet flats so as not to fall into the effect before La Scala) and a t-shirt with print, but all you need is a pair of heels and a tight-fitting bodysuit to wear it in the evening as the most sophisticated outfit, or to create an original and fresh ceremony outfit.

The flat and/or gladiator sandal is another of the great returns of this season, which can easily pair with a maxi skirt - even with those with a less flared design: you don't risk "tightening" the silhouette precisely because they develop in vertical along the leg. What if we add sandals to the same skirt, even with medium heels and not necessarily high heels? An interesting aperitif outfit for the summer, where light colors are welcome even in the evening, especially with some tones of tan already acquired...

Printed and colorful maxi skirts

If it is true that in summer everything is allowed, it is also true that it would be best not to... overdo it. In a season full of opportunities to be experienced 24 hours a day, there are prints and colors that are best confined to the hours of the day before sunset, and therefore to office occasions, errands in comfort or free time.

We are talking about two-tone skirts, with light background or excessively colorful or crowded prints. You can play with the height of the heels or wedges to go from a more relaxed mood to a more ladylike look, but always within the limit (at your discretion) of the hands of the clock. 

Yes to bright colors even for the evening, however, if there is theright combination of model and fabric. Try to imagine these Manila Grace proposals, presented as daytime outfits, combined with a satin top and sandals, both in black: an outfit with strong contrasts

Black Maxi Skirt: Daytime, Yes or No?

The answer to this question is: it depends. If we also consider pencil skirts within this set (which, in fact, deserve a long separate discussion, the black pencil skirt is a classic passe-par-tout and valid 24 hours a day. If instead we are thinking of more carefree, it depends.

If it is a maxi skirt that has details that lighten the total black (contrasting stitching, belts or loops to insert a colored belt, buttons, asymmetries) we could also wear a black maxi skirt for the day, taking care of do not combine a total black topin turn. Extra tip? Try a model like this with Texans and give a country twist to your look!

Other more serious and abundant models, however, risk having more of an Addams effect: better to combine them with a fanciful heel and a top for the evening, so as not to have the opportunity to be noticed... in a negative way. Only exception? A beautiful shining white top, also with a print to "play down" even more, which neutralizes the heaviness of a black maxi skirt during the day.

Outfit with maxi skirts: midi or midi skirts, extra tips!

If it is true that maxi skirts are democratic, it is equally true that there are models that are PERFECT for certain types of silhouette and others that risk not gratifying it enough. We close this article with some little extra advice on fit.

• Narrow waist and large hips: the so-called "pear-shaped" physique, which has its strong point in the hips and buttocks. If it's really important shapes, with an excessively tight skirt you could be a bit flashy, as well as uncomfortable. An interesting model to try is definitely a high-waisted maxi skirt (so as to underline the slim waist!), tight-fitting but not too much on the hips, and which is more or less flared from the hips down. Yes to ruffles along the hems, yes to plays of asymmetry, yes to side/front slits: they create balance along the figure and give you a feminine look without vulgarity.
• Long bust and not exactly very long legs: high-waisted models (forget the low waist and perhaps even the regular one!) and A-line, pleated or not, combined with crop tops, will be useful for rebalancing the lengths of the your physicality
• Voluminous calves: if more than a strong point it seems like something that shouldn't be put in the spotlight, the maxi skirts that are right for you are the soft ones that go down to below the calf. Completely reject skirts that stop at the knee or immediately below: it would be the equivalent of shining a spotlight on it!
• Not obvious waistline: or, again to return to the semantics of fruit, "apple-shaped" physique. Maxi skirts come to your rescue! Always high-waisted, with sashes or belts, choose a trapeze model to combine with voluminous tops (boat or bowler necklines, ruffles, soft blouses or, simply, a shirt with a soft collar that leaves the last few buttons open at the top ) to create volume at the top and bottom and optically thin the waistline.
