A Fashionista's Guide To Finding And Wearing Long Maxi Skirts With Flowers

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.

The fit of these skirts is very important. While they can be a lot more forgiving than tailored styles, the key is to pick the right hem length for your height. Keep in mind that these skirts should hit somewhere between the ankle and brushing the ground. If it pools or puddles at your feet you may look like you have purchased one that is too large and the look can seem sloppy and unpolished.

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.

It can be helpful to decide where your skirt will be worn before you go shopping. This can help you decide what pattern or even what fabric you will look for. It can also help you decide which separates you will put with your maxi as well. If you work in a creative or fashion-forward office, you may be able to wear your skirt to work provided that you pair it with more formal, fitted separates.

Another way to make your skirt as versatile as possible is to look for a fabric that is light enough that it can be worn in warm weather but which can also see you through cooler weather. Wearing it with a pair of leggings underneath can give you the insulation you need to keep comfortable even when the temperature dips a bit.

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.

The good news is that there are many options to choose from. If you want to try out one of these skirts, you may want to try purchasing one online as you can get them more inexpensively. The tradeoff is, however, that you will not be able to try one on in person and you may find that the fit is not quite right.
