3 Ways to Wear a Maxi Skirt
I don’t know about you, but I feel like this season you can’t go anywhere without bumping into a maxi skirt or ten in stores, and as a recent convert, I thought I’d pop up a quick post about how versatile these little cuties can be. Over past seasons I had dismissed the maxi skirt as something which should be reserved for the warmer spring and summer months, but with the onset of jumper season, there’s no reason why you can’t transition this look right on through to winter.

Weekend:
Raey silk wrap skirt (seen 3 times), Joseph knit, Mango biker jacket, Adidas gazelles, Mansur Gavriel bag.
Office:
Skirt (see above), Joseph blouse, Stella McCartney jacket, DVF bag, Maryam Nassir Zadeh shoes.
Cocktails:
Skirt (see above), DVF blouse, Marc Jacobs tuxedo jacket, Victoria Beckham clutch (on sale!), Aquazzura heels.
For the weekend the maxi skirt works a treat with an oversized knit, a leather jacket and good old gazelles – this look can take you anywhere from shopping with your gal pals through to Sunday brunch. For the office switch out the knit and jacket for a more office-appropriate shirt and blazer, while come cocktail hour add a simple blouse and tux jacket and you will have an on-trend look nailed.
