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

By Elaine Guthrie


It can be exciting to get a new piece of clothing. In the case of long maxi skirts with flowers you may be tempted to wear a new piece as much as possible. These long skirts are comfortable because you do not have to worry about showing too much leg when you are wearing them. If you want to make sure your new purchase can be worn as much as possible, these shopping and fashion tips may be just what you are looking for.

One of the first things to make sure is that the skirt you are wearing fits you properly. If you are of average height, this may not be difficult but if you are very short or very long, you may have a bit of a challenge on your hands. A maxi skirt is designed to be quite long and may even graze or brush the floor. You want to make sure that if you are wearing it this long that it only brushes the ground and does not puddle on the floor. This can make it look like it is too large for you and can make your look seem sloppy.

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.

How your maxi fits is important. If you are very petite you may need to look a bit harder to find one that fits you well. There are many stores with items that are geared to petites that may work better for shorter figures. The skirt may not be as bulky which can help shorter physiques from getting lost in the fabric.

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.
