Linked to Fashion: Get Your Maxi On!

According to College Gloss, it’s time to jump on the Maxi skirt band wagon! With many weather changes happening around us, we’re looking for ways to still be fashion forward, comfortable and warm! A maxi skirt is a great way to achieve all of the above! Maxi skirts can be worn many different ways no matter if your style is feminine, edgy, or comfortable chic.

College Gloss outlines some great outfits for the professional, the comfortable girl, and the edgier lady! First, they tell us how to pull together a professional look. “A pleated maxi skirt, crisp white blazer and vintage-looking satchel bag are the elements for a professional and pulled-together ensemble. Wear this look for school, work or a fun date! Not only are pleats ultra luxe, but emerald green is on-trend this season. Among a sea of people wearing earth tones, the vibrancy of emerald will make an instant statement. To eliminate unnecessary bulk, simply cinch a belt around your waist.”

The second outfit they share with us is a more comfortable approach. “If you’re not a fan of bold blasts of color, go neutral with shades of black and gray. Choose graphic t-shirts that reflect your tastes; whether that be via an image of a wild animal or a photo of your favorite ‘70s rock band. When accessorizing, go for distinct pieces that give off a tough vibe; think stacked bracelets, chunky necklaces and anything with chains.”

Thirdly, they share the ideal way to wear a maxi skirt, with a crop top or tee! “For those lucky enough to live in warmer climates, the ultimate way to wear a maxi skirt is with a crop top or tee. Be creative with the crop top that you select, it will play a key role in conveying your personal style. For instance, while a lacy crop top exudes ladylike chic, one that is ripped and tattered along the edges is much more punk.”
