As a proud “apple-shaped individual” (greater on high, smaller on backside) I like the look of the smaller high with the massive circulate skirt nevertheless it’s not a mix that I really feel my greatest in (as I like my tiny shorts/skirts or tight denims and blousy tops) so I simply kinda by no means thought to actually strive a maxi skirt. However not too long ago I attempted one on with a classic sweatshirt and I used to be like “Hey, take a look at that! I can do that too”. It’s so snug, straightforward to put on, and ideal for transitional seasons (aka spring or possibly when our legs are tanned sufficient LOLOLOL – my legs are all the time orange, don’t fear!!)
The Nice (considered one of my favourite manufacturers, albeit extremely splurgy) and Claire V (similar) all the time nail this look – the informal on high and extra female on backside, and considered one of my greatest associates works for The Nice and types issues to be simply so effortlessly cool (shout out to Suzanne). Here’s what she does (that I totally copy).
Jean Jacket (related) | T-Shirt | Skirt | Boots
- The highest of selection leans extra “masculine,” possibly a crew neck sweatshirt, a classic band T-shirt, and many others, however can’t be too cumbersome (as a result of the underside is so voluminous). Once more, this could possibly be a classic t-shirt or a ripped sweatshirt. Certain you possibly can put on a ruffly shirt with this skirt, however that appears extra formal, much less every single day (IMHO).
- THEN, Entrance tuck that high. You wish to see the waistline so it’s a tad bit extra outlined.
- Put on with the “flawed shoe” i.e. sneakers, fight boots, Birkenstocks. Whereas the inclination could be to put on a “girly” and flowy skirt with heels or cute flats (and clearly do WHATEVER YOU WANT) if you’re making an attempt to decorate this down and look extra “on a regular basis easy” then copy what all these girls do. And hear (with out laughing, however I discover style hilarious so go forward and LOL) wanting “snug” is IN today (to a few of us, thank god) so now could be your probability to not need to put on heels (nonetheless laborious for me quarantine).
I hadn’t actually deliberate on “modeling” this outfit (Kaitlin actually simply caught me in what she thought appeared cute and snapped a number of photographs) so I might need styled it even higher TBH or added some layered chains/taken off the jacket, however you get it. Preserve it informal and somewhat messy/masculine on high (or a easy muscle or ribbed tank will do) after which straightforward breezy and full/ruffly on the underside. Add a baseball hat for the total “I’m a star that’s making an attempt to not get seen in Erewhon” impact. Lol.
Right here is the effortlessly cool Suzanne who helped fashion the 2 of us for a style shoot a handful of years in the past. How cute but straightforward is that outfit?! Informal High + Enjoyable Skirt + “Fallacious Shoe” = A cool and comfy look.
