Posted by Jintao Du on

A maxi skirt is a staple in any woman's wardrobe. They come in a wide range of colours, lengths, styles and can be worn to a number of occasions from work to weekends and formal events.

So easy and versatile, these breezy pieces aren't just for sun-drenched summer days. They can be worn year-round and dressed up with accessories, jewellery and high heels!

It can be hard to figure out what to wear with a maxi skirt at times. Maybe you think it's too cold in winter to wear one. We are here to help you style your maxi skirt for all seasons.

What Kind of Tops Go With Maxi Skirts?

Not sure how to style your summer maxi skirt? It’s important to note the best tops to wear with maxi skirts are ones that have a simple silhouette and not too much detail. Here are a few of our favourite options:

  • Tank Top: Simple and flattering, wear it in the summer or pop a jacket over the top when the weather gets cooler
  • Cami Top: Similar to a tank, the cami top will add a feminine touch to your ensemble
  • Graphic Tee: Wear it with a knot in the front and layer it with a denim jacket for a chic look for fall
  • Sweater: A sweater, maxi skirt and boots, say no more. This chic winter ensemble is perfect for your weekend plans
  • Crop Top: The perfect match for a high-waisted skirt!
  • Off The Shoulder: This top will add femininity to your summer look

What Shoes Do I Wear With Maxi Skirts?

Figuring out what shoes to wear with a maxi skirt can be challenging! Are you going for a casual summer look, or do you want your outfit to look office ready? It all depends on the season and occasion. You can’t go wrong with these 4 styles:

  1. Heels- Perfect for summer, a pair of heels is an easy way to dress up your look. They are a great option  if you need to add some height to your outfit
  2. Sandals- Perfect for the summer and spring season, sandals will give your ensemble a laid-back vibe
  3. Sneakers- A casual solution for both summer and winter, a pair of crisp sneakers are great for an everyday look
  4. Boots- Shifting towards a winter look, boots are perfect for adding some height to your outfit and can either be casual or dressed up. They give a high-fashion final look to your outfit!

How To Style a Maxi Skirt In the Winter

The number one focus when dressing for winter is keeping warm, so your summer staples are probably far from your mind. But don’t ditch the maxi skirt just yet… we will tell you how to style this piece for the cooler months:

  • Layer up your clothing- Pop on a blazer, turtleneck sweater or trench coat!
  • Wear warm footwear- A cool maxi skirt with a high slit will pair perfectly with knee-high boots!
  • Accessorise! Pop on a scarf, gloves or beanie

Gingham Skirt

Summer- You can’t go wrong with a basic black crop, slip-on sandals and sunnies! You’ll look so chic when out and about at your next brunch or casual stroll in the park.

Winter- Opt for a preppy tucked-in shirt with heeled boots. Pop a jacket on top if it’s extra chilly out!
