Maxi skirt is the cool, comfy and sexy garment you want to be seen in right now! Here are celeb-approved tops to wear with them in Summer 2016.
Long skirts suit nearly every body type, style and personality. If paired right, they can create a signature look or a chic statement style. They can be worn as party wear outfits, casuals and even to office! Let’s take a look at how to wear maxi skirts with different types of tops:
Pair up with #1: Crop Tops
Crop tops paired with long skirts can be worn either for parties (Sarah Hyland below) or casually. For a party outfit, pick an elegant flared maxi skirt in a solid color, and pair it with either a matching or a contrasting fitted top. For casual outfits, pick something, maybe pastels and pair it with a loose top (like Kendall Jenner below).
Match with #2: Strapless Tops
Strapless or tube tops look hot and sizzling paired with maxi skirts. Add a slit and a red lipstick to turn the heat up even more! Great for anything from your friend’s bacholerette party to a special dinner with your boyfriend.
How To Wear Maxi Skirts #3: Go Monochromatic
If you wanna be on the safer side, try a tone-on-tone outfit with your maxi skirt. I love the Rihanna’s look where she pairs a black monochromatic off shoulder top.
Pair up with #4:Tees
Try a tee with your long skirt for a really casual street-style look. It can be a loose or a fitted tee. It’s great for when you want to wear asymmetric or slit maxi skirts casually, because tees balance their sexy-factor.
Blend with #5: Jackets
Wear a cool t-shirt or a tank top and give a new look to it by wearing a simple textured vest or a denim jacket. I love Blake Lively‘s Gossip Girl look here.
Maxi Skirts for Office #6: Pair with Shirts
If you want to charge up your work wardrobe and make it more glam, or you want to pick something formal yet unique for a work party, select a neutral-colored straight-cut maxi skirt and pair it with a formal white shirt.
Pair up With #7: Tank Tops
Give a casual look to your skirt by pairing it with a tank top a la Jennifer Lawrence here, who matches a white flared maxi skirt with a grey tank top and overized sunglasses.
Wear with #8: Bodysuits
If you need a styling piece that makes you look curvy even when wearing a long skirt, invest in a bodysuit. As versatile as they come, bodysuits go with jeans, shorts and just as well with maxi skirts.
Wear with #9: Turtleneck Tops
Turtlenecks create a unique signature statement and make everything a bit more formal. So if you want to pair a plain old skirt with something for a party, go for turtlenecks. The color block outfit of Victoria Beckham here is a great inspiration.
