The Return of the Maxi Skirt
In a world that’s finally embracing mindful fashion, the maxi skirt is having a well-earned renaissance. Flowing silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and effortless grace make it a go-to choice for those who love to dress with meaning. But if you’ve ever wondered how to wear a maxi skirt without looking dated or overwhelmed, this guide is your perfect match.
At Tangerine Tiger, we’re redefining the maxi skirt—offering sustainable styles that speak to the creative, modern woman. Whether you’re navigating the streets of Mumbai or exploring a resort town, here’s how to style maxi skirt outfits with flair and function.
1. Tops to Wear with Maxi Skirts
Choosing the right top is essential to balance proportions. Depending on the occasion, you can:
- Pair a structured crop top or tucked-in shirt for a defined waist.
- Style it with a boxy tee and knot it at the side for that perfect high-low contrast.
- Try a linen blouse with voluminous sleeves for an artisanal vibe.
