The maxi dress has been a summer staple for the last two years or so.Now there is a maxi trend that will work in cooler weather as well.The maxi skirt is full and long and flowy and fun, so why would you not want to wear this trend all year round?
Maxi skirts let you layer with warm pieces on top and underneath to make wearing a skirt bearable in the winter months.Adding a thick, chunky sweater keeps you cozy up top.Because the skirt is long you can hide tights and leggings underneath, which is just like wearing a comfortable pair of pants (but no one has to know).Throw in yet another trend and add knee or thigh high boots.This will make the skirt look high-fashion, while keeping your body temp where it needs to be.When it comes to the color try something neutral for a chic look or try a small print for a funkier vibe.Either way the long skirt will have a dramatic effect no matter where you wear it.
Maxis are making their mark on all seasons, so take advantage of this trend year round!







East Coast Chic (ECC) began as a fashion blog in 2010. I created ECC because the diversity of style on the East Coast is inspirational and endless. ECC allows me to share my favorite fashion thoughts and spots from my headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as other trend setting states along the East Coast and beyond.
