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.

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.

The pattern on your skirt will also help determine how versatile it will be. A smaller, simpler print will be more versatile than one that is very vibrant. If you want to coordinate colors, make sure that your other separates incorporate the same colors as are found in the flowers or background of your skirt. You should also consider wearing any other items of clothing in solid colors to prevent the patterns from competing.

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.

Shopping online can be a great place to look for different skirts. You can find a range of different patterns and you may be able to find a good piece at an affordable price. Then you can wear your skirt with pride no matter where you are or what you are doing.
