How to Take Advantage of the Full Range of Ways to Wear Statement Maxi Skirts

I really get hooked by a beautiful statement maxi skirt. Has that ever happened to you, that you see a gorgeous skirt you would absolutely love to have? I usually feel that I don’t need it so I shouldn’t get it. But you know what? They are actually a good investment! That’s because they are more versatile than one would think. You really can dress it up or down to go anywhere and use it for all seasons depending on how you layer or simplify. So now that these amazing skirts are trending in 2023, I got interested in exploring ways to wear mine more often. Read more to see how you can do this too!

Let’s See Why a Statement Maxi Skirt is So Versatile!

Semsi Crochet Skirt from Soft Surroundings with a high-low hemline
  • A statement maxi skirt pairs well with common clothing articles. A few basics you have in your closet can easily be combined with a statement maxi skirt of any sort. Try it with:  a black turtleneck, white t-shirt, white blouse or shirt, crop top, off-the-shoulder or cold shoulder top, tank, sweater, white sneakers or boots.
  • This piece works for any occasion. A statement maxi can be worn to a formal dinner, business day or weekends. It all depends on what you wear with it. Tops, toppers, accessories and shoes change the look of your skirt and adapt it to the occasion.
  • The statement maxi is good from season to season. It is sound to invest in this skirt because it can be worn all year round. In the winter, add thick tights or leggings. Nobody will see it and it will be warm. In the summer, keep cool with sandals. Its a perfect balance and won’t strain your bank account.
  • This skirt flatters the petite figure. It is a common struggle for petite women to find clothing which fits, as well as allows them to appear taller. This skirt does the perfect job at accentuating and lengthening the body. Just make sure to buy one which is high waisted. Also, platforms or heels go with it for a taller look.
