Maxi Skirts For Work and Play

Saturday, April 28, 2012 • by Karla Mae

If we can go to work in board shorts and cutoffs then maybe summer would be more bearable. But the workplace should always be kept dignified and that concept has considerably narrowed down our options. Or so we think.

Shopbop recently featured an array of maxi skirts fit for both “work and weekend” and we are loving them! They have quite the collection from top designers and while it was difficult to do, we managed to narrow it down to our top 5 choices. They’re the perfect remedy to the heat. Just match with a solid top, a simple blazer, smart shoes, accessorize, and you got yourself a smart look for a working summer!

1) Maxi Skirt, $445, 10 Crosby Derek Lam

This mango-colored silk skirt will definitely bring a tropical feel to your outfit without the informal effect of a Hawaiian shirt. Winning feature: hip pockets!

2) Pleated Maxi Skirt, $198, Enza Costa

Try out this foxy red pleated maxi skirt on an unlikely weekday for a great pop of color! This skirt features a contrast elastic band which is perfect for tucking in those long, loose tops for a cool but put-together look.

3) Venessa Maxi Skirt, 4495, Rachel Zoe

Instead of the usual slacks, why not try out this royal blue stretch silk maxi with your usual button front blouse? Not only is it striking but exciting, featuring a 29″ slit that is modest but chic.

4) Yoko Maxi Skirt, $115, MINKPINK

For something retro-inspired, this olive-green crepe maxi skirt is just the classy pick. We love its floral print and the design is comfy with its front tie-closure and smocked elastic at the back.
