Yes, we’re doing maxi skirts for 2023. Here’s how to style them.
Forget showing a little leg! For fall and winter 2023, long lines and tailored skirts seem to be the direction all the fashion girls are headed in. Want to get in on this surprisingly comfortable trend? Here are 7 maxi skirt style ideas that you’ve got to try.
By now we all know that in fashion, everything old will come back around again. One season we’re wearing skinny jeans - the next we’re in slouchy wide legs. We wouldn’t be caught dead in platforms, and soon we’re wearing platform sneakers with cocktail dresses.
I’ve learned to pretty much never rule out the possibility of a trend coming back. And this is especially true with this year’s return of the maxi skirt. A maxi skirt was the first thing I learned how to make in high school sewing class, and now it is gracing the runways of some of my favorite designers - not to mention the street styles of fashion’s chicest girls.
What’s so great about these maxi skirt styles is that they work for every body type and every price point. And while long skirt outfit ideas abound online, it can be easy to get overwhelmed with all the styling options.
So we’re handpicking a few maxi skirt style ideas that feel both timeless and totally doable. Check them out and let me know which ones you’re going to try first!

Possibly the ultimate trendy girl look is a vibey, retro-inspired t-shirt with a long skirt. If you’re wearing a looser t-shirt, be sure to tuck or tie to add some shape. Finish the look with bold accessories like leather, gold, or fun shoes.
