When you wear a long top it makes it drop-waisted which generally reads super casual, boho, hippie... earth mama, as you said haha. But with a shorter top, or with a top tucked in and a cardigan or belt over it to mask the waistband it looks awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-772232 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:31:37 +0000 Rabbit Heart 772232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love maxi skirts but generally, I wear them with tops tucked in. Honestly, the first look is the most "earth-mamaish" of all three. I like your suggestion with a jean jacket, that would look great. Also, you can pair it with a floppy hat and a chunky sweater or a big knitted scarf (not sure how mild your winters are). I quite like the last look - you might try tucking the cardi in (provided it doesn't create a lump underneath) and put the belt from the first look on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-772224 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:55:16 +0000 MySmallWardrobe.com 772224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, that's a very versatile maxi skirt and with the right accessories you will not look like "earth mama" you also need to consider proportions. You look like a tall gal (if not, the skirt make you tall) and you can get away with all 3 ways you posted. I particularly like best #3. The proportions are great and the cardi looks contemporary.<br /> Carelia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-770467 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:41:47 +0000 Kathleen 770467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your replies. After considering the feedback, I am thinking this is a very occasional look for me now. The drift into prairie is a slippery slope. A snugger knit skirt may be a better choice but it reveals more lumps and bumps:/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-770103 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:02:01 +0000 rute 770103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!<br /> I prefer 1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-770081 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 08:14:20 +0000 Deborah 770081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a lover of midi skirts and this style is a little prairie but I do like the way you have styled this. #1 creates a lovely long line on you. I like Jenava's suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769736 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:03:10 +0000 Jenava 769736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these outfits! Wear them with flat black moto boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769726 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:55:49 +0000 JR 769726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the untucked look here very much, myself. At least on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769716 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:40:45 +0000 Tara 769716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - an further on proportions I like #3 best because the cropped top balances proportions better and isn't so elongating. I think your idea of a fitted denim jacket would be great, maybe with a tucked-in fitted tank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769713 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:39:12 +0000 Tara 769713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kathleen,</p> <p>I think from what I have seen, maxi skirts that are cut a little slimmer are still on-trend.<br /> I've also noticed a trend towards adding a split to maxi skirts, to show more leg and make it look 'sexier' in some way, but that may not be your aim.</p> <p>Examples of current on-trend maxi skirts:<br /> <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Maxi-Skirt-in-Hologram-with-Thigh-High-Split/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2585218&amp;SearchQuery=maxi%20skirt&amp;sh=0&amp;pge=0&amp;pgesize=20&amp;sort=-1&amp;clr=Black">Asos thigh split maxi skirt</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.asos.com/Twist-Tango/Twist-Tango-Printed-Maxi-Skirt-With-Short-Lining/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2395638&amp;SearchQuery=maxi%20skirt&amp;sh=0&amp;pge=0&amp;pgesize=20&amp;sort=-1&amp;clr=Multi">Asos floral maxi skirt</a></p> <p>I reckon maxi skirts generally look better with a top tucked in. They also seem to be styled most commonly with heels rather than flats. But when wearing flats I'd still suggest tucking the top to balance proportions. Angie did a <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/07/06/how-to-wear-tops-with-skirts/">post</a> on top/skirt proportions awhile ago.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769702 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:18:42 +0000 Joni 769702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like look 1 - the belt makes it look cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769682 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:28:11 +0000 Kathleen 769682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah.

But I am a poor judge of this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769661 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:01:39 +0000 Anonymous 769661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I think the best look is #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-maxi-skirts-still-on-trend#post-769659 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:59:52 +0000 Kathleen 769659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in a mild winter climate and have sewn up this simple knit maxi skirt to wear for my very casual lifestyle. I might add a slim cardi or jean jacket as a topper. I can also change out grey suede booties for black boots. I don't want to look "earth mama" .... A little boho is fine! </p>
