The Versatility Of The Maxi Skirt – Four Ways To Wear It With Minimal Effort

Sometimes we forget how versatile a piece of clothing can be. When that work event or bottomless brunch springs up unexpectedly, peruse the contents of your wardrobe before parting with your money. There’s a range of easy ways to repurpose your maxi skirt, and to save you the last-minute scrambling, I’ve narrowed it down to four killer looks… you’re welcome.

Date Night Elegance

We all like to make an effort for a special evening out, but when part of the right ensemble, plainer pieces are just as successful as overtly glamorous ones (and yes, this is inclusive of the single babes – hello, solo dates). Pair your skirt with a plain white or black halter neck, elevate it with any kind of heel, and don’t forget a matching handbag. Just like that, it’s unrecognisable as the skirt you walk the dog in.

Bohemian Soul

Boho is back, and nothing says boho chic quite like a maxi skirt. It lends itself perfectly to a loose, off-the-shoulder number and a wide stretchy headband (always a lifesaver when your hair isn’t exactly fresh as a daisy). Complement this look with faux-leather clogs or sandals, and you could easily be mistaken for a young Stevie Nicks.

Corporate Sophistication

Much as we love a pant suit or pencil skirt, it’s possible to be comfortable in work attire while looking professional. Combine your skirt with a plain white T-shirt and blazer, or a plain white shirt, scrape your hair into a slick bun, and voila, we’re in corporate boss territory. This works with either flats or heels, and some pearl earrings would really round it off.

Beach Breeziness

There’s still time to get bronzed on the beach, so don’t hesitate in digging out that deck chair… and maxi skirt. Throw it over your bikini bottoms, slip into some sandals or flip flops and pop a sunhat on your head, and you’re good to go.

With the cost of living breaking the bank, it’s comforting to know your maxi skirt is more than worth the investment. So, with the help of this article, you can maximise your maxiskirt to your heart’s content! (See what I did there? Maxi-skirt? Maxi-mise?... I’ll see myself out.)
