Take Fashion to the Max with Maxi Skirts

11:11 - 16 October 2013

The first outfit that pops into your head for a red carpet event is the LBD – <strong>Little Black Dress</strong>. This outfit has become such a common trend that it is sometimes described as ‘a uniform for the red carpet’. However this paradigm is shifting as another shocking and most unlikely article of clothing is taking over the red carpet: <strong>The maxi skirt</strong>.

The maxi skirt became popular a few years ago when we were rocking it Caribbean - style and gradually evolved a couple of years later to the high - waist Ankara skirt. It has returned again as a red carpet look much to the amazement of everyone. Usually found in bold single colors, it is often paired with a small off-shoulder or tube top.

What are the essentials needed to rock the maxi skirt on the red carpet? A small fitted top (usually tucked in), a stunning clutch purse, gold low - heeled sandals and a bold necklace are all you need. The skirt can also be paired with a loose- fitting top but this is greatly determined by your body proportions. The maxi skirt is one that is perfect for the red carpet because it is fresh and graceful yet glamorous. Whatever look you decide to go with, the maxi skirt is the new red carpet look, so wear it long and wear it proud.
