Hello, dear readers! The skirt is an all-season hit, with the only difference being that some people love the mini length, others the midi length (we recently reviewed this style, if you missed the review, you can read it here), while others are delighted with the maxi length. It should be noted that in recent years, in the summer, floor-length skirts are in particular demand, and this is understandable, they look very aesthetically pleasing, they are sewn from light, airy fabrics, they visually add height to short girls, especially if they wear high heels, and also make tall girls look slimmer female representatives. But in order to look fashionable, impressive and attractive, you need to choose the right accompanying clothes, and to make it easier for you to understand this issue, today we will tell you what to wear with a long floor-length skirt.
What to wear with a maxi skirt
♦ Blouse
A loose-fitting blouse made from lightweight fabrics such as crepe de Chine, crepe georgette, and chiffon looks great. Printed blouses or plain models look equally stylish. Current examples can be studied in the photo below.
♦ Jacket, blazer, cardigan
With such a skirt you can wear a jacket, sleeveless vest or cardigan. Moreover, ideally, it is still better to select shortened models of the clothes mentioned above, but in some cases, for example, when you need to hide wide hips, you can take a closer look at elongated styles of outerwear.
♦ T-shirt or T-shirt
During the summer, an alcohol tank top or a traditional t-shirt will come in handy. Plain snow-white T-shirts or T-shirts with inscriptions, embroidery or appliqué look great. The latest fashion trends include T-shirts with small flowers or a paisley pattern (a teardrop-shaped pattern with a curved pointed end).
♦ Pullover
On a cool day, you can wear a light but warm pullover that matches the shade of the skirt. But still, the most universal color is considered to be white; it will suit any plain skirt. You can add more charm to your look with a pullover with an open back.
♦ Shirt
How stylish a shirt looks tucked into a skirt or tied at the waist in a knot. The shirt can be plaid, striped, floral, leopard print, denim, etc. But the eternal classic is still in fashion - a snow-white shirt.
♦ Top
A top for such a skirt is the most preferred clothing; it fits perfectly and perfectly complements the image as a whole. The top can have wide straps, narrow straps or no straps at all. Overly revealing tops should be paired with a cardigan, jacket or blazer.
♦ Fur products
In winter, such a long skirt can be worn with fur coats or similar vests. Suitable examples of such clothing can be studied in the photo below.
♦ Checkered clothes
In recent years, checkered clothing has been in unprecedented demand, so the checkered print goes perfectly with the skirt style discussed in this review; below are the best looks based on the fashionable “check.”
♦ Denim jacket or shirt
Jeans have always been popular, denim clothes can be safely worn in an informal setting, you can match our skirt with blue or light blue denim jackets, shirts and tops.
Who suits a tight skirt?
Stylists warn against using tight-fitting products for women with voluminous hips, a protruding tummy and full legs. However, it is still worth experimenting with length and style. For example, a tight, high-waisted skirt will help you shape your figure and hide excess weight and fullness. A discreet decorative element - a belt at the waist - will enhance the effect of visually increasing height and adding elegance to the silhouette. The optimal length for this model is below the knee or to the ankles.
The best option for overweight women is a straight-cut skirt that slightly fits the silhouette. If you correctly combine all the wardrobe elements and accessories, you will get an amazing look. The long model with a front slit looks elegant, adding romance and mystery to a woman’s appearance. Women of any age and body type can wear tight-fitting products, provided they are able to hide imperfections in their figure with the help of clothing items or accessories.
Slender girls with an hourglass figure are the main contenders for the title of the most beautiful models showing off tight clothes. This is the silhouette that wins and looks amazing thanks to the balance and proportionality of the body parts. Graceful girls can safely wear miniskirts, above-the-knee or midi skirts. A medium-length, tight-fitting pencil skirt will come in very handy for work, business meetings, negotiations, when you need to create a working atmosphere and at the same time defuse the situation. Such clothing subtly hints at the perfection of forms, emphasizes sexuality and adds cuteness and tenderness. A charming skirt will attract men's attention and convince you of your own irresistibility.
What to combine with different shades of skirts
Beige
This skirt can be combined with a white blouse, complemented by beige embroidery, a beige or brown bag, and sandals in beige or white. In addition, a beige bottom will look harmonious with a colorful top, which is based on a beige shade. Another stylish option is a black pullover, beige sandals and a black bag.
White
A blue denim jacket will look great with a snow-white chiffon skirt. In general, with such a shade of bottom, you can safely choose any color for the top - black, yellow, pink, red, etc. Those who want to end up with a gentle romantic look should take a closer look at the pastel range of shades: pale pink, lavender, beige, light blue, light green, etc. If you want to attract the attention of others, then choose a bright, perhaps even acidic shade of the top: lemon yellow, acid green, scarlet, rich blue or fuchsia.
Blue
This color looks most harmonious with white, black, beige and pale pink, so you can choose a blouse, top, T-shirt, blouse or jumper in these tones. The bag can be gray, black, white, beige.
Yellow
This color has been in demand for several seasons now, so a yellow flowing skirt is no exception; it can be worn with a black fitted T-shirt, a gray or white tank top, a blue blouse or a beige-yellow pullover.
Green
A white, green, black, beige, brown or burgundy top will match the green shade of the bottom of the clothing. For example, a burgundy pullover, a white blouse, a checkered shirt, a black top or a blue denim jacket will look stylish. By the way, a black leather jacket or a fashionable bomber jacket will also fit perfectly here.
Brown
The brown palette is best complemented by accompanying white, beige, and black colors. A light brown shade will look harmonious with a beige blouse, and a rich dark chocolate shade will look great with a white top or shirt.
Red
You can pair a red maxi skirt with a black and white striped blouse. A black blouse, white top, blue denim shirt, white vest worn over a black T-shirt will also look great.
Pink
If you want to create a more youthful and casual look, then it is better to wear a gray T-shirt, tying a knot at the waist. You can also wear a white T-shirt and a brown jacket with a bright pink skirt. And for a bright look, a dark purple jacket, an orange blouse, a gold belt and a beige bag with gold elements are suitable.
Blue
A set consisting of a blue skirt, a pink handbag and a light gray pullover on one shoulder will look incredibly stylish. An image in a gray-blue-pink blouse, complemented by a plain blue leather bag, can also be considered excellent. Well, if we consider a suitable palette of shades in general, then the following tones are suitable: black, white, pink, yellow, gray.
Black
Almost any range of clothes will suit this classic shade: pink top, white T-shirt, red blouse, leopard print cardigan, black leather jacket, blue denim shirt, black and white striped blouse, gray sweater, etc.
Flowered
In general, floral clothes are incredibly popular among the fair sex, and not in vain, because a floral print can make an image more feminine and sophisticated. You can combine such skirts with blouses or tops, the tone of which echoes at least one of the shades of the background of the skirt or its ornament - in this case, the shade of flowers.
Choosing a model based on your body type
When choosing a product, you should take into account the type and characteristics of the figure. If your shoulders and waist are narrow, and your hips are wide (pear-shaped), then tight-fitting products will add volume to the hips and introduce imbalance and chaos. For a rectangle figure, the best choice is skirts with an emphasis on the waist. For girls with slender legs, tight miniskirts with a wide belt and a leather ribbon at the waist are suitable. This length will allow you to draw attention to the most beautiful places and add femininity to the silhouette. Those who are not entirely sure of the ideality of their figure can wear a full-length model in which you will feel like a femme fatale and a sexy person.
Overweight women should use tight-fitting designs with caution. In short products they will not look very aesthetically pleasing. A win-win option is a straight knee-length skirt, allowing you to show off your attractive legs. If you choose the right shoes and color of tights, you will be able to create a stunning image of a seductive lady. Universal midi models are suitable for almost all women, regardless of height and fullness.
Stylists recommend that girls who are too thin use samples that have an element such as a peplum. A short, tight skirt with a peplum will suit a gentle lady with graceful legs and a thin waist. A strip of fabric draped at the waist will add volume to the hips and emphasize the slenderness of the legs. The wider the stripe, the visually the hips appear fuller. If you add a full blouse tucked in to your ensemble, you will be able to add fullness to your chest and femininity to your silhouette.
Matching bag
It is better to choose a handbag for a classic long skirt on a frame basis, so the image will look more correct, neat and tidy. In addition, this style of skirt can be safely combined with compact clutches. Well, you can choose a handbag with a long strap to match the sporty style of the skirt. Examples of suitable bags can be seen in the photo below.
Choosing shoes for a floor-length skirt
— The choice of shoes for an image with a maxi skirt is quite simple - the more elegant and narrower the skirt is, the higher the heel should be.
— Shoes are optional only when paired with a long pleated summer maxi skirt; this can be worn with sandals and ballet flats.
— For an extravagant and bold look, you can choose massive shoes combined with a floor-length skirt - these can be ankle boots or boots. This set is suitable for the cool season, so the material of the skirt should be dense.
Skirt color is the focus
When putting together sets, be careful with patterns and prints. An active patterned skirt requires a calm monochromatic complement, and vice versa.
Particular attention should be paid to color combinations:
- Contrasting colors look interesting and festive together - red and green, black and white, orange and blue, yellow and purple.
- To create a more complete look, you can choose an outfit in one color, but using different shades. The so-called total look. It is necessary to vary the brightness and saturation of each element in the set. Using one shade of one color will ruin the look and make it tasteless (unless it is a ready-made or well-thought-out cohesive look).
How to choose skirt length
There are three length options, each with its own characteristics:
- Mid-calf. Suitable for girls of medium and short height, both slender and curvy. Pair with closed platform shoes or low heels.
- Maxi. This is an ankle-length skirt that completely covers the lower leg, but leaves the foot covered. Suitable for tall, slender girls. It is best to wear this skirt with classic shoes.
- To the floor This is a skirt that completely covers the leg and shoes, lightly touching the floor. Suitable for any height and figure and goes with any shoes.
Types of long skirts
Feminine beauty remains a favorite this season. Jeans have been thrown back into the closet, until better times, and skirts of all styles and models are stocked on the shelves of boutiques. A fashionable look for a spring walk is light and amorous, feminine and elegant. In order to choose the right clothes and accessories, you first need to choose a skirt.
There are several types of maxi skirts:
- Pleated skirts.
- Skirts with average, minimum and maximum volume.
- Tight-fitting maxis look especially cool in winter if you choose the right fur coat.
- Maxi skirts with an extension towards the bottom that will fit at the waist. These models look the most feminine and will be appropriate in any setting.
When choosing what to wear with such a wardrobe item, you need to remember what it absolutely does not go with :
- bustier tops;
- T-shirts with lacing at the lower waist;
- camisole tops;
- long T-shirts not gathered at the waist.
It is worth paying special attention when choosing a long, warm skirt and a winter jacket or fur coat, since it can create a hooded look. There are two solutions here: either choose the right fur coat or work out the issue with the skirt very carefully.
