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

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.

Fit is important with maxis just like they are with any other piece of clothing. They are designed to be loose and flow around your body but some will still fit better than others. Look for hem lengths that are at or slightly above the ground. Look for a skirt that fits well over the hips and waist so that you do not need to worry about the skirt dragging down as you wear it.

There are many different patterns and it can be hard to decide which you want to buy. If you want to get maximum versatility out of your maxi, you may want to look for patterns that have small flowers. Other versatile patterns include stripes and polka dots. Some of the most versatile options are plain fabrics that do not have a pattern to them.

These skirts are so comfortable that you may be tempted to try and wear one everywhere you go. While they can be quite versatile, the key to looking appropriate is to pay attention to what you are wearing with your maxi. Tailored, business-like separates may make your outfit more acceptable for the office whereas more flowing, lose fitting items will keep your look relaxed and appropriate for weekend or casual events.

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.

Your accessories will also help make your skirt more versatile. Like the clothing separates you wear, jewelry and shoes can take the same skirt from looking more polished and formal to more relaxed and casual. Just remember that if you are going to be wearing high, clunky sandals that you pay attention to where the hem of your skirt hits. You want to make sure that it is not too high as this can make your skirt look like it is fitting you poorly.

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.

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.
