12 Maxi Skirts To Wear This Summer

From satin to vintage style, the maxi skirt is a staple of our summer wardrobe.

Floor-skimming, hip-hugging maxi skirts are back for summer in a whole spectrum of styles. Whether you opt for a denim number, voluminous vintage-tiered style or a slinky satin slip, we’ve brought our top picks together to browse, plus tips on how to style them.

Satin


A slinky satin maxi is a great option for a capsule holiday wardrobe. Wear casually with flip-flops and an oversized linen shirt during the day and switch to heels, a cami or co-ord satin shirt come evening.

Denim


The denim maxi is long overdue a comeback. First popularised in the 1970s and then again in the early 2000s, it is the summer equivalent of a versatile pair of jeans. Wear with a racer vest or a graphic t-shirt, or play with scale and volume and pair with a fitted linen bustier or another hot-trend: the fitted waistcoat.

Print


Summer is a great time to be bold with your print choices. Try tropical blooms and graphic ginghams in voluminous tiered styles for added swish. Look for soft organic cottons and relaxed linens and pair your eye-catching prints with simple monochrome vests, tees and shirts to allow your skirt its moment in the sun.
