The maxi skirt is a symbolic statement for the summer, and a piece of apparel that you wish you could wear in the winter to maximize the use out of. The secret is, you CAN wear your maxi skirt in the winter! You just have to know a few tips and tricks to carry it into the cooler season.
Colour Contradiction
If the colour of your skirt is completely off-point for the colour tones of fall there's still hope for your maxi skirt, yet! Essentially when you pair a pattern with a solid colour tone, associate that bright summery maxi skirt with something jewel tone or a solid fall-tone colour that still is relatively on par with the colours in your pattern of the skirt. Fall tones can be any of the following - jewel tone colours, maroon, black, emerald green, mustard yellow, hunter green, purples, anything in the deeper colour palette is a must for the fall and winter months.
For example, the summer skirt I have on I associated with a solid black tank top. For the winter I'd pair it with a form fitting black leather jacket, preferably that has a belt to keep shape in so many layers covering so much skin. If you don't like the idea of having bare legs under the maxi skirt for winter months, I'm with you on that one - and with the fashionable trick of wearing knit leggings (thick leggings) underneath that problem is solved.
Shoe Options
Try closed toed shoes or ankle booties as an option to create a winter-ready look for your maxi skirt. I have a pair of hot pink suede closed toed shoes that do the trick for my maxi skirt.
Accessories
If you think you're hiding your personality under all of these clothes, bare with me. You have the option of finding costume jewelry that can make this outfit POP. Bring this look to life with a completely whimsical bib necklace that peeks out from under your jacket. If the winter months are incredibly cold where you live, wear an oversized scarf to work and when you get to the office let the character of your outfit come out with a fun necklace and bangle bracelets you can wear to the office - that peek out just enough to where the outfit still looks professional. Nix the idea if you'll be wearing the scarf all day and opt for fun earrings, or costume jewelry studs.
