Many people believe that the only way to stay warm in winter is to wear trousers. This myth is easy to dispel by remembering the existence of maxi skirts. They cover your legs just like trousers, and models made from high-quality natural materials can provide warmth and comfort. What types of maxi skirts are there, what they are made from and how to wear them - read on.
Materials
Wool. One of the warmest options. The fabric can be natural, with admixtures of synthetic fibers, or completely artificial. The level of heat retention depends on the quality.
HELP: skirts made of natural wool may not be very comfortable to wear: the material is very hard, it will “prick” and cause unpleasant sensations on the skin.
Tweed. Thick fabric, a type of wool. It has a relief texture, due to which it is considered a very interesting option. Unlike wool, it does not cause discomfort.
Bologna. The material does not release heat and has moisture-repellent properties. Suitable for long walks.
Fur. Very rare.Typically, manufacturers only decorate products with fur inserts. They provide warmth.
Knitwear. The material contains a large percentage of elastane and a very small percentage of wool. The products are more convenient, comfortable, but also less warm.
Other: cashmere, suede, velvet, corduroy. They are less dense, so they look more elegant.
Styles
- Pleated and bell. Convenient and practical option. They expand a little, so they can hide possible flaws.
- Tight. They are suitable for those with a slender figure, as they clearly outline the silhouette and emphasize all the features of the shape. Knitted models are an option for thin girls, since in addition to being tight-fitting, they add volume to the silhouette.
- With several levels. Use fabric of different or identical colors. They provide more heat. Suitable for those with curvy figures.
- Asymmetrical. More interesting models: they have different lengths. Slightly shorter in front than in back. Colors and prints may vary depending on taste preferences.
- Pencil skirt. A classic option for going to the office, a business meeting, or for a walk.
What to wear with
Shoes. In winter, you should choose insulated boots, ankle boots, and ankle boots. You can wear heels under a long skirt, but make sure they don’t get in the way in icy conditions. It is best to use flat shoes: they are more comfortable and safer. If the product has a cutout, you can wear high boots. It is possible to create a contrasting look: wear elegant shoes with a thick woolen skirt. The opposite option is an airy skirt with rough boots. Straight quilted models are combined with sports shoes: made of knitwear, silk. But this option is only suitable for an early, warm winter.
Outerwear:
- Shortened and fitted options are best suited: fur coat, winter coat, sheepskin coat, poncho, fur cape. Down jackets with a shortened version are also suitable.
- Skirts made of chiffon or silk go well with fur items. The fur coat should be short, made of artificial or natural fur. You can tie a scarf around your neck. This option is suitable not for long walks, but for dates and going to the movies.
- Knitted. Perfect for everyday wear, as they can be combined with regular parkas or down jackets. For warmth, you can wear a sweatshirt or warm sweater.
HELP It is preferable to wear shoes without heels.
- Made from denim and leather. Can be combined with all types of outerwear: coats, jackets, colored fur coats made of eco-leather. It's also not a very warm option.
- Long skirts do not go well with sports down jackets and jackets. The products belong to different styles, so their combination almost always looks out of place.
Fashionable looks
- Minimalistic option. Black knitted floor-length skirt, black turtleneck, thin matching strap. Pairs perfectly with an oversized double-breasted coat. The print of the coat is a fashionable small black and white check.
- An interesting street style option. Long striped skirt, colors: beige, black and silver. Top: black turtleneck and short fur coat with leather inserts: horizontal stripes and decorated bottom. The most notable detail is the leather weave and fringe on the bottom of the coat. Accessories: an interesting bag with a tote and high-heeled ankle boots.
- A very modern and stylish look: a pleated chiffon skirt in beige tones, a warm white sweater with a high neck, made in an oversized style. Warm long fur coat with a fashionable animal print, ankle boots duplicate it.Accessories: a white beret and a small handbag on a chain with a light floral print.
