I know maxi dresses and skirts seem synonymous with summer but believe it or not you can actually make one work in the winter! I was inspired to write this post after seeing Tieka of Selective Potential post a great look on rocking a winter maxi. Enjoy the photos and tips below from Tieka (Selective Potential), Tiffany (I Am Style-Ish), and yours truly.
1. Layer!
Tieka from Selective Potential
I loved seeing how Tieka made a maxi work in the SNOW! Her boots and jacket are a great contrast to the lightweight fabric of the maxi skirt. You can also wear tights or leggings underneath for added warmth. However, Tieka recommends buying static cling spray to prevent a day of tugging your skirt away!
2. Black!
Tiffany from I Am Style-ish
In this post Tiffany forgoes the bright maxi trend and makes hers more winter-appropriate by grounding the look with black. She even chose darker colors in her accessories by choosing a deep plum for her nails.
3. Midify!
I converted my maxi into a midi dress by folding the top part inside itself and pulling it up above my bust. I really wish I would have shortened it even more, but it looked better in the mirror than in photos (don't you hate when that happens!) Midifying your maxi can allow for a different look in winter. Pair with ankle boots (which I wish I had) and a cropped jacket for a winter appropriate look.
