Maxi skirts are way more adaptable than you realize. The soft, romantic, and relaxed feelings that this garment creates is appreciated by all women. The maxi skirt always finds a place in our wardrobe. But, we don’t want to be tied to just one look, teaming them with the same tops and shoes.
Flat Boots
This is the fall shoe style that gets along best with the maxi skirt. Flat boots go so well that knee high, lace up, zip up, and ankle lengths all work great. The military and Victorian inspired styles are also a great for pairing with maxi skirts. The obvious no-nos of flat boots with maxi skirts are pairing rain boots and desert boots with your flowery maxis, no matter how casual they look.

Heeled Booties and Ankle Boots
The full length of the maxi skirt implies that boot shaft height is not important, but ankle boots and heeled booties go like peanut butter and jam. For a solid and consistent look, pair up a boot that goes above the hemline of the skirt and no leg shows. Pair up the booties with a maxi skirt that is not very long so as to cover the top of the booties. Throwing in a pair of tights just creates the perfect winter and fall look.

High Heeled Pumps and Shoes
Pointy toe pumps don’t go so well with maxi skirts as they don’t provide the sufficient contrast. Almond shaped will work better. Be cautious about keeping your heel open this winter and fall season when wearing your high heeled pumps with maxi skirts because the hem can get trapped between your shoe and heel.

Heeled Boots
Just the way heeled booties work like magic, tall heeled boots also work magnificently with your maxi skirts. Contrast the color and style of your heeled boots with your maxi skirt. If the skirt is plain let the boots be bold and dictate your look. And if the maxi is colourful and vivacious, let the boots be simpler and flatter than the skirt.

Another must have element in your wardrobe to keep you snug this winter is a cardigan or jacket. Let’s see the six trendy ways to complement your maxi skirt with this warm snug garment.
