Last Updated on July 26, 2024 by Nicole

Welcome back, dolls! Let’s take an adventure down the road of maxi skirts. However, before we can really start our adventure, let’s take a look at how this carefree article of clothing came into existence. The maxi skirt first hit the scene around 1968 thanks to Oscar de la Renta at the Elizabeth Arden Fashion Show in New York. This iconic design was then published in The New York Times, and really the maxi skirt has been in style ever since.

As we explore the enduring appeal of this versatile piece, let’s dive into the latest fashion trends and essential seasonal wear. Maxi skirts continue to evolve, offering everything from bold prints to soothing solid colors, making them perfect for any season and occasion. Embrace the timeless elegance and fluidity of the maxi skirt, a staple in every fashion-savvy wardrobe.

Stay updated on the ever-changing landscape of women’s fashion, incorporating maxi skirts into your repertoire in fresh and exciting ways to keep your style current and chic.

However, once the 70’s hit, maxi skirts faded a bit in the public eye, but they made a massive resurgence in the late 90s. This latest incarnation focuses on the bohemian feel of the 60s with a better shape for all bodies.

Maxi shirts are a great addition for any season because you can add layers to them, wear various types of shoes with them, and they come in so many prints and colors. The key here is finding the material and print that works for you. Also, there are a lot of give-in maxi skirts, so you’ll usually find them in sizes like medium or even one size fits all. If you’re feeling little bloated, maxi skirts are forgiving and are great to have on hand.

Some skirts offer high waist options, and their length means you can even wear them as a dress! If a dress isn’t an option, but the length is a bit too much, then tie it off at the bottom. Let’s look at some fun ways to style your maxi skirt, plus some maxi skirts that will rock your socks off!
