Maxi Skirt is :
A part of garment that hangs freely from waist down (until above the ankle).
There are many types of maxi skirts, Made of Cotton, Chiffon and even Denim!
So How to Wear Your Maxi Skirt?
The minimalist: Wear your Plain skirt with Plain Top
The Floor Length Skirt ALWAYS looks good with tighter fitting (either tuck-in or just wear Belt at the natural waist). If the Skirt is kind of close to the body or Pencil cut maxi Skirt, you can always wear some Loose top... or maybe with jacket and cardigan. It's Your call :)
Be Full Of Life: Be Daring!
If you want to try something different, Don't be rigid. Even though you have that pleated maxi skirt with you, You don't have to be stuck with the tight top. You may want to wear loose top (but not too loose as it will makes it messy ).
Printed Top
When Wearing a plain maxi skirt, you could go for printed top and be creative! It can be flowery or abstract! Play with Colours too! :)
Lower the Volume
If you have a sheer chiffon pleated maxi skirt, You can cover it to tone down the Volume with a Long tight top.
Lastly, Wear Heels for the feel!
Just Like Lauren Conrad said, No Matter Your height, You can always wear the floor length Skirt! that's why they invented heels!
To get a good posture while wearing maxi skirt, Why don't you get on those heels? Go for the ankle strap heels, approved by Ck, Stella and Karl!
So Get creative with your maxi! You know You want to! :)
