For all the people complaining that maxi skirts might restrict your movement, how do you get away with jeans?! I don’t know about you, but I find they chafe, pinch & pull even more than a maxi skirt ever would (but maybe that’s again due to my pear shape)!

Besides, if you wear a maxi skirt in a soft/ drapey material (like jersey) & with leggings/ slim pants & boots underneath, then you don’t need to worry about flashing your legs whilst walking

I do have 2 maxi skirts like shown on the bottom left (tiered ‘gypsy’ style), but that’s more because I like to dabble in the ‘bohemian’ style sometimes- otherwise it’s all elegantly draped maxi skirts for me, please!

A true maxi skirt (sweeping the floor that is) helps my pear shaped self look fragile and svelte. On the pictures of the first link I am 5 months into my second pregnancy that came less than a year after my first one. And no pants (let alone any other skirt) would ever make me look (and feel) as slim, as I am on these pics.

I love it for travelling too. A bit more sophisticated that chino pants. ain’t it?

I love my maxis, the swirly feel, and the fact I can remain cool and not have to show my legs in horrid shorts. I just keep everything else slim & fitted. My friends tease me sometimes but they can look a bit boring sometimes. I like a little variety in folks!

Light violet, shrimp, and gold. They’re by Savannah. I love the way they flow.

I am short 5’2″ but with heels Maxi’s make me look so tall and long! I love to wear a maxi skirt with a belt over it and top tucked in with heels. Makes my legs look like they go on for miles

I find this look is appealing to me. It’s stylish & comfy. I have several of them with patterns and plain jersey. I’m glad this is in. Most important thing is to choose the right fabric and length. I prefer cotton/Lycra than chiffon.You can wear a plain maxi skirt to work e.g black or grey with a cardigan. I know not all women like to wear it but I think it boost my confidence in styling. A yay for me!

In the summer, you can look floaty and etherial and not have to worry about the tan issue. I love them with boots in winter. I have no body issues, so it’s not a cover up for me. I just like the look.

I may need to temper my original endorsement for this look. So many of the stylings I saw used SO MUCH fabric! And they were often shown topped with a chunky,baggy sweater that fell to the knees! Flats were in abundance. There often was no waist definition shown and it gave that Olsen Twin-esque bag-woman effect, which is very messy and unkempt. I will probably embrace the maxi skirt trend if I can find a skirt in a long a-line that will give a more trim silhouette, wear them with some sort of heel, and a fitted top with maybe a belt for some added waist definition. I don’t want to be swallowed by yards of fabric.

I feel the design, tailoring and fit of the skirt is important and living in a warm climate long linen skirts are a part of my wardrobe.
