How to wear the winter maxi!

By saraferrity in Trends, Womenswear on Thursday 26th January, 2012

For most the maxi skirt is an item associated with summer but for me it’s a staple in my wardrobe all year round! In fact I find that as the weather gets colder my hemline (like the birds) goes steadily further south!  Here are some ideas on how you can rock the maxi skirt throughout the colder months!

 

One misconception surrounding maxi-skirts is that they can only be dressed up. Try teaming with a slouchy jumper and some comfy biker boots – you’ll have a casual outfit which wouldn’t look out of place in an Olsen twin’s wardrobe!

Embrace the vintage look of this great pleated maxi and go boho! Recapture the glamour of the Seventies with this gorgeous faux fur gilet à la Olivia Palermo! I just love this floppy wide brimmed hat which adds an extra dose of charm and can be reused in the summer months. Remember that boho chic is synonymous with tons of accessories so load on bangles to finish the look!

Who says work wear has to be boring? Coloured tailoring is all the rage this season so why not brighten up your office with a pop of colour in the form of this loose structured jacket! Pair with some cute Mary-Jane shoes – perfect for busy ladies and what better way to stay comfy and stylish? Finally why not accessorise with a skinny waist belt for a look that really means business!
