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
