Maxi Skirts: Gone are the times when long skirts were only for the vertically gifted. Now, anyone can pull off a maxi skirt, and our celebrities cannot help but show us countless ways to rock this look. How about adding some linen to this look? Not only is the material classy, but it comes in a range of hues to give you more wiggle room (get it?) in your pairing. All you need is a vest (casual even) and a skirt to complete the look. Depending on the cut of your skirt (slit or not) and its length, you can choose to wear heels or sandals, or even nothing when working with a long skirt. Jewellery is optional as the whole look comes off as breezy as the fabric.
