How to Style a Long Skirt

Written by KATERYNA LAKOMOVA

Long-skirt outfits are back in vogue as a major fashion trend, featuring a wide range of styles from bohemian-inspired designs to classic denim and luxurious, flowing silk. Prominent celebrities have embraced this full-length fashion trend, drawing attention to its enduring popularity. The long skirt is a versatile wardrobe essential, offering the flexibility to be effortlessly styled as a casual maxi skirt outfit, perfect for relaxed weekend activities or dressed up for a sophisticated look suitable for professional settings or special events.

Exploring this loud trend, we delve into various long skirt outfit ideas inspired by celebrities and fashion enthusiasts known for their exceptional taste.

11 Long Skirt Outfit Ideas 

Creating an ensemble with a full-length skirt can strike a perfect balance between style and comfort—there's a lot of extra coverage and various loose, flowy pieces to choose from. However, styling might seem challenging if you're not accustomed to these proportions. To help you out, we've compiled 11 outfit ideas spotted on fashion enthusiasts.

With a Tank Top 

The denim skirt is making a strong comeback with a more relaxed vibe. Take advantage of this trend by choosing a long, medium blue skirt with a raw hem, such as the Reworked Maxi Skirt Circolo. Pair it with a simple Ribbed Tank Top and effortless slip-on shoes to complete the laid-back look.

With a Denim Jacket and T-Shirt

The Canadian tuxedo, once criticized, has become an undeniable fashion classic, and swapping out the jeans for a long denim skirt only enhances the look. Pair Agolde’s Denim maxi skirt Hilla with the Oversized denim jacket Charli, and add the Contrast-trim cotton t-shirt Farreh underneath for a perfect match.

With a Sweatshirt 

When dressing down, a maxi skirt is an excellent alternative to jeans. You don't always have to make your skirt look formal. If you want a more laid-back vibe, just throw on your favorite sweatshirt and a pair of sneakers. Combining a Denim asymmetric skirt and a Flock-trim interlock sweatshirt is a surefire way to look great for leisurely walks.

With a Crop Top 

Crop tops are great for highlighting the waist and giving a vintage feel to any outfit, so go ahead and team your maxi with one. We've opted for the Front-slit denim skirt Tillis paired with the Striped crop top. Jazz up the look with bold accessories, and you'll be all set to hit the streets.

With a Knitted Vest and a Shirt 

Looking to add a preppy touch to your outfit? Combine a knitted vest, a shirt, and a maxi skirt. The ideal choice is a pleated maxi, but a denim one works too. For instance, pair the Reworked maxi skirt Circolo with the Dart fold cotton shirt and layer it with a Rollneck boucle vest for a classic preppy look.

With a Polo 

Check out another prep-inspired look: a maxi skirt paired with a polo shirt. To give this outfit a unique touch, you can play around with different textures and patterns or go for color-blocking. We've paired the Ribbed polo neck top in khaki with the Reworked maxi skirt Circolo. Denim is always a great choice for any occasion.

With Boots

Boots with a decent heel height or a platform are a significant investment, ensuring that your maxi skirt outfits don't drag on the ground and get soggy. For a trendy and versatile option, sporty ankle boots like the Ankle leather boots Helia are a perfect choice. Opt for a long skirt with a slit or asymmetric hem to showcase your boots and pull your entire look together. For instance, the Reworked maxi skirt Circolo features a slit at the back, allowing you to pair it with knee-length boots as well.

With a Blazer 

Pairing a full-length skirt with a blazer is an excellent choice for the workplace. However, don’t overlook this long-skirt outfit idea for a night out. Opt for a minimalist design like a black Maxi skirt and combine it with a matching Oversized suit blazer. Don’t forget to layer with a Logo-embroidered ribbed top underneath, allowing you to remove the blazer if necessary. For footwear, taller women can get away with comfortable flats, but if you're on the petite side, opt for kitten heels.

With a Blouse 

Cottagecore fashion embodies a nostalgic and romanticized ideal of the English countryside. While typically associated with summer, you can easily transition this look into fall by adding layers. Consider swapping bright floral prints for block colors, and layering big collar blouses under seasonal knits. If the romantic look isn’t your style, opt for the Peplum-hem cotton blouse paired with the Denim maxi skirt Hilla, as one of the many long skirt and top ideas for this season. For a flattering look, ensure the blouse is fitted and tucked into the skirt if you’re petite. Taller women can handle more volume with their blouses. To enhance the Cottagecore aesthetic, consider adding a straw-embellished bag, like Hereu’s Straw tote bag Cabas M.

Denim on Denim

We've already seen an example of a denim-on-denim outfit, but if you're feeling adventurous, consider styling a long jean skirt with a denim shirt. Add a splash of color with suede shoes and a bag to really bring out the bold western look. The Front-slit denim skirt Tillis and the Denim oversized shirt Kayla provide an excellent foundation for future accessorizing. Include a pair of Suede ankle boots Tweed to carry on the western theme, and grab a matching bag, and you're good to go.

With a Shirt and Bomber 

This year, our focus is on curating a personalized capsule wardrobe with versatile investment pieces for all-day dressing, allowing you to wear a staple item for different occasions and seasons. One must-have for fashion enthusiasts is a neutral black maxi skirt, perfect for creating various looks, whether for the office or a weekend night out. Let's take the office look and adapt it for a chilly evening out. Pair your Maxi skirt with the Patch-pocket striped shirt, and layer on the Quilted bomber jacket Toussaint. This ensemble balances edgy and sophisticated, offering a stylish and striking look.

Styling Tips for Wearing Maxi Skirt

  • Shape of the shoe

Rocking longer skirts is the same as rocking wider pants; it's best when you show off the shape of your ankle or foot. This often entails wearing pointy-toe shoes with open skin on the top of the foot or strappy sandals.

  • Length of the boot

When wearing a long skirt with boots, ensure that the shaft of the boot meets or goes up and under the skirt. Otherwise, too many horizontal lines will cut the bottom of your body.

  • Length of the skirt

The length of your skirt is crucial, so don’t hesitate to have it tailored to ensure a perfect fit. Make sure the hem hits your leg at the most flattering point. Avoid the midcalf length, as it accentuates the widest part of your leg. Instead, go for a slightly longer length where your calf tapers or even down to your ankle. This will be much more flattering for your figure.

  • Accent on the waist

With this kind of silhouette, it's important to emphasize the waist. You can achieve this by tucking, tying, or belting the top. Alternatively, cropped tops or short jackets can also create the same effect. Pay special attention to these key points when deciding what to wear with long skirts. 

  • Balance is the key

Opt for a fuller skirt with a slimmer top, just as you would with pants. A tight top with a tight bottom can come off as overly seductive, while an oversized top with a bulky bottom might appear untidy. If you want to avoid these extremes, choose how to style a long skirt wisely. If you opt for a snug fit in one area, balance it out with some volume in the other.
