How To Make Unlikely Proportions Look Amazing
This outfit is really unique. Not many people who would dare to mix proportions this way; long over long is hard to do right. But when I stopped to talk to Vivian, I found out that she has a fashion design degree. So it makes sense that she can create an unlikely mix that works.
What’s great about an oversize t-shirt with a maxi-skirt is that it is super comfortable. And if the tee is lightweight and sleeveless or has short sleeves, it can be an airy and cool outfit for a warm day.
Even though this skirt is flowing, the slim cut and dark color counteract the width and breadth of the top. Normally, a long top looks best with a short bottom. But, a voluminous top looks best with slim bottoms. Therefore, this works!
Slits on the side of the top and/or bottom also lighten the silhouette and make it cooler and more wearable.
By the way, Vivian’s shoes are slip-on sneakers that are open in the back.
And here’s an example of a long cardigan worn over a maxi-skirt:
Yana works at the coffee shop. Today she is wearing a black camisole that gives shape to the long black cardi from Forever 21 and the maxi-skirt from a thrift shop. And she has the friendliest smile that makes the whole outfit shine!
Would you try an oversize tee with a maxi-skirt? I welcome your comments. Please share this with someone you know who might dare to wear something like this!
Warmest regards,
Angie
