Style: How to pull off a maxi skirt

The season’s most major skirt can be a little daunting, but in the end look totally hot. Clueless about what to do with all that fabric? Here are three ways to rock a maxi right.

Fab florals
A floral printed number is a little bit boho. Try it with a simple tank and an army-green topper to take the sweetness down a notch.

’70s glam
A long, flowy skirt in perfect paisley looks fierce with a chambray button down and a floppy felt hat. Go for edgier accessories like wide leather belts and wooden-heeled shoes to keep it modern.

Minimal stripes
A closer-cut gives this skirt more of a body-con shape, and that’s why we love it. A bit of volume up top balances out the slim shape. A printed cropped tee looks just right with pink and gray stripes. Keep it simple and streamlined with a long necklace.
