The maxi skirt – otherwise referred to as a long skirt – is a timeless and endlessly versatile fashion phenomenon often thought to be a staple of any woman’s wardrobe. While midi skirts fall around the knee, maxi skirts typically sit at or fall just below the ankle. Regardless of your height or body type, this additional length can help to elongate your silhouette for a taller, more feminine figure.
The true beauty of the maxi skirt, however, lies in its ability to adapt to any occasion. Available in form-fitting or loose styles, the sheer versatility of this skirt makes it a reliable piece you can depend on all-year round.
Maxi skirt style
Long skirts for women are often thought to be a style exclusive to cooler climates. While their full-length coverage certainly makes them a warm choice in the colder months, they are just as befitting in milder temperatures. The flowing length of a long casual maxi skirt makes it a lightweight and breathable option in warm weather – the perfect item for long sunny days at the beach and even longer nights at the bar.
In terms of style, contrasting a flowing maxi skirt with a fitted top or a fitted maxi with a flowing top is a great place to start. In warmer seasons, think crop tops, tank tops and off-the-shoulder shirts for a trendy, holiday-casual look. In colder months, throw on a cashmere or virgin wool sweater and think about layering up with your favourite denim jacket.
Your choice of footwear is equally free when wearing a long skirt. The right pair of shoes can effortlessly transform your look from formal to casual in an instant. Dress up your maxi skirt with a pair of heels or knee-high boots and you’re ready for date night; or go super casual with a pair of trainers or open-toe sandals to perfect your everyday look.
Material
Airy polyesters or cosy wool blends, the material of your favourite skirt not only keeps you warm or cool, but it also serves to define your look: Plissé pleats add an extra layer of texture and accentuate a skirt’s free-flowing form. Elasticated waistbands embossed with the HUGO logo accentuate that figure-eight aesthetic while being super comfortable to boot. Bold colours and attitude-infused patterns can be counted on to make an impact, whether dressed up or dressed down.
