We believe in maxi skirt so much that we had to write this for the readers, for many believe that maxi is 'not-for-me'. Maxi skirts, if played well, can be totally turn to one's advantage or even style. You don't really need resort to a boho-chic or street-style you know,in order to flaunt a maxi or even worse, put up a sloppy look. Short or pear-shaped, maxi, true to its name, has a LOT of space for all you kinds out there!

1) For simple,sophisticated look and clean lines, go black and white in a body hugging maxi, that accentuates your perfect waist and booty ;) The cropped turtle-necked top adds a hint of bold,as heels add height.

2) Girly,fun as well cosy look for the winter, with the pleated maxi and cropped sweater. Comfy but hot nonetheless.

3)Our favourite look is the cropped jacket with a maxi skirt/dress. Its edgy on edgy. But if you're not looking to be noticed,ignore point 3. Although, we would still recommend to keep accessories on a minimal for this look.

4)Be the demure,geeky lady with this look which works for office too(even if you do not use type-writers anymore). Flat shoes, pigtails and a perfect collared blouse and you'll be making heads turn without going all out.

5) This works very well for a pear-shaped women. You get to flaunt your curves, bare your
décolletage and take the show off your wide-ish hips. Add some jewelry and you're good to go for a party,too!

6) T
rès chic is what comes to mind. Boots, belt, cropped sweater, fur coat and a blanket of beautiful hair. Couldn't get better!

7) The best of mix-n-match. Accentuates the waist while it gives the outfit,a form. Beret and the bandana around the wrist takes the outfit a notch above.
