The maxi skirt is a fashion trend of recent seasons, which can be found in the wardrobe of many women, regardless of age and profession. Long skirts have long ceased to be an indispensable attribute of “femininity”, and today the maxi is a comfortable and versatile item of clothing. This skirt is not just a response to fashion trends, but also a comfortable alternative to trousers, excellent protection from bad weather, appropriate for the office and guests.
Maxi skirt: variety of models and colors
The popularity of the maxi among fashion designers in recent years has turned out to be a real plus for women and has given us a wide selection of models and prints.
Who said that a long skirt is boring? Forget about the maxi as a circle skirt made of a large panel.The variety of models and play with colors never ceases to amaze, and even the most modest store is in a hurry to offer its customers a great variety of styles: tight models, pleated skirts, ruffles, bright tartan, comfortable bag dresses, straight and formal skirts, models with tapered hems, with a high and low rise... In such a variety, anyone can find a suitable option, and choosing outerwear to go with it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
What to wear with a floor-length skirt in autumn
The problem with many outfits, and maxis in particular, is that it is very difficult to choose universal outerwear to go with them. Fashion magazines and designers will not help with this: in most photos the models are without outerwear, at best it is open, or even draped over their shoulders. But it is impossible for a modern active woman to survive in this form in the harsh Russian autumn. What to do if you want both comfort and looking stylish? We will look at several universal options that any woman can create.
A short jacket with a long skirt is a great pairing
The key problem with the combination of “floor-length skirt and outerwear” is that coats and down jackets of many styles simply violate carefully thought-out proportions.
On a note!
You should not wear long down jackets under a maxi skirt. This disrupts the proportions and overall appearance.
For those who are not good at fashion trends or simply do not want to waste time choosing outerwear for each maxi outing, there is a universal option - a short jacket. Of course, this is not an option that can be worn in cold winter conditions, but throughout the fall and late spring - it is not only beautiful, but also very comfortable and warm.
What is longer: a skirt or a coat?
A common question among those purchasing their first full-length skirt is whether it is necessary to purchase a long coat to match that length. This question cannot be answered unequivocally - it all depends on the cut of the dress or skirt and outerwear.
Note!
A long coat or a coat ten or twenty centimeters above the hem of the skirt is a win-win option.
Therefore, if you buy a long coat, you can forget about most of the worries about matching it with outerwear.
A medium-length jacket or coat is always in fashion
A jacket or coat of medium length is exactly what almost every woman has in her wardrobe, regardless of material income. Should you buy a maxi skirt for the fall if you don’t plan to buy any outerwear to go with your look? Definitely yes! Based on the overall cut of the skirt or dress:
- With straight models, you can limit yourself to a straight coat or an oversized one.
- With flared skirts and sun-shaped styles, it doesn’t hurt to tie your outerwear with a belt.
Browse through other options that may give you ideas for your own.
What jacket to wear with a long skirt in winter
Is winter not the time for long dresses? No matter how it is! Don’t miss the opportunity to warm yourself up to your toes and don’t neglect a cozy floor-length dress or a long woolen skirt, and we’ll look at the most stylish combination options.
Medium length jacket with fur
A medium-length jacket with fur is a popular option for winter outerwear, which can also be combined with some styles of long skirts. First of all, this applies to tapered models or straight rectangular dresses.
On a note!
This combination is suitable mainly for tall girls or thin-boned girls.
Tall, graceful girls can safely adopt such a jacket, however, it is better for them to avoid flared models with a large number of folds.
Oversized jacket and long skirt
Oversized, which has become a real trend in recent years, is breaking all records for purchases and is now almost more common than in the eighties. Of course: this is a convenient and cozy option that does not require a special selection of accessories or a complex cut. Oversized looks great with long skirts and dresses, but as in the previous version, it looks best with straight and narrow models.
Note!
Fitted, graceful and oversized styles - such a juxtaposition will look great, but it’s better to avoid comfortable bag dresses in combination with a voluminous jacket or coat - these things don’t go together at all.
A fur coat is never out of place in winter
A charming little fur coat is what will definitely go with a maxi of any style. A short model with voluminous sleeves will be a great addition to a long skirt and will not violate the proportions. If the winter is not too cold, then a small fur coat will complement an evening outfit and will delight office workers. A short, well-fitted fur coat will go well with flared dresses and voluminous models with a large number of folds or ruffles. Go for it!
Cold winter or autumn is not a reason to give up your favorite maxis. A large number of fabrics is exactly what you need in the cold seasons, and bright colors or classic tartan will only lift your spirits and add coziness. You can choose a long dress to match almost any style of outerwear, and if you have several of them, then you can play a little with combinations and color schemes.
