Trend Report - Maxi Skirtsashely tidsdale

Maxi skirts have been having a major moment for sometime now and have quickly proven to be this seasons hottest separate. Covering up has never been more posh and a perfect maxi can add the ideal pop of bohemian flair to any summer outfit. This seasons staple has been worn by nearly every Hollywood fashion maven from Nicole Richie to Vanessa Hudgens to everyone's favorite style guru, Rachel Zoe. When worn right, a maxi skirt can elongate your body, but a few misguided fashion additions can easily send you crashing into Amish librarian territory. Fit and fabric are of utmost importance, so take your time to find the perfect maxi skirt and take even more time searching for a fabulous blouse or top to pair with it. I personally love a good maxi paired with slightly oversized tops. A less form fitting blouse will add that extra laid back chic look. For a more business take on this trend try tucking in your top and accessorizing the look with a belt or pair your fuller skirt with a super fitted top for that extra wow factor. When it comes to length, my personal style preference is longer is better, but maxi skirts of all different lengths can be found. For a simple and understated look go for the white or solid colors and for an edgier look opt for bright colors or bold patterns. If you're looking to emulate a more boho vibe with this trend go wild with your accessories by layering on your jewelry like I did above in my white maxi skirt and loose tan top. Below are pictures of some of my favorite celebrities rocking maxi skirts all around town. Are you loving this trend?
