The breezy maxi skirt tops our list of summer essentials! Feminine, stylish, and comfortable, it delivers fresh summer style with vibrant colours, stripes and subtle sheerness. This makes it an easy perfect piece for both tropical vacation or city oasis. It dresses up with sparkly accessories (and flows elegantly when dancing too!) or down with flip-flops and a basic tee with ease.

Styling maxi skirt

Maxi skirts are a big trend for Spring/Summer, but how do you wear them without looking like you are overflowing with fabric? The key is balance. Long skirt on bottom, little shirt on top.

• Pair it with a crop top, hike up the skirt to be high-waisted
• Tuck in a blouse but choose one without sleeves
• Try a tank that ties in the front
• Tuck in a simple long tank
• Pair it with an off the shoulder tee
