For many of us maxi dresses and skirts are a wardrobe staple during the Spring and Summer, but I’m not ready to put my maxi skirts away just yet, so read on for tips on How to style maxi skirts in the Fall, and my picks of the best maxi skirts.
How to Style Maxi skirts in the Fall
I’m a great fan of maxi dresses and skirts as they are so comfortable and so versatile. This Summer I wore my maxi skirts to the beach (even as a swimsuit cover up), to go shopping, to go out for dinner and just about any other occasion you can think of! They are my ‘go-to’ for when I want to be chic but also comfortable. Check out this post for general tips on how to style a maxi for daytime chic, the office and a night out.
However, it is also totally possible to wear maxi skirts in the Fall and even into the Winter by adopting a few simple styling tricks, (although I probably wouldn’t wear one in the snow!).
Have a look at this post from earlier this year to see how I wore this maxi skirt in the Summer (and also for some cute pictures of baby seals) at La Jolla in California.
To transition to Fall, I used the same basic styling tips as in my previous post on ‘How to Transition to Fall’ I won’t repeat all the tips, but check here for further details, and here are a few extra tips for How to Style a Maxi Skirt in the Fall.
Adapt your colour scheme
I paired the skirt with rich Fall shades, such as rust, olive green and tan colours to reflect the Fall colour schemes.
Adapt your outerwear
Pairing just about any jacket or sweater with a maxi skirt will immediately add a Fall twist. I chose a tan suede jacket to stay with the rich Fall shades, but a classic jean or women’s leather jacket would also work well for Fall.
You could also opt for a richly coloured sweater, but too avoid looking too frumpy, especially if the sweater is oversize, I would make sure to tuck it (or half tuck it) into a belt.
Adapt your accessories
Instead of wearing the maxi skirt with open -toed sandals as in my Summer post, I added high heeled boots in a rich Autumn tan, as well as a tan handbag, and a tan belt. I also added a chunky cuff bracelet and a bracelet with green stones.
Adapt your make-up
For my make-up I used a taupe eye-shadow, although you can’t see it because of the sunglasses! (I tried to take a photo without the sunglasses but I’m squinting in every one of them!) and a golden brown lipstick.
Now, for my picks of the Maxi Skirts *

Who says you can’t wear a specific garment just because we’ve moved into a new season? I think you’re matching the maxi skirt great to make a transition into fall! Wear the pieces you love as much and whenever you want to and don’t care about “rules” in fashion. 🙂
