Dainty Hooligan Styling Fun: 5 Ways to Style That Maxi Skirt!

If you haven't already noticed, we love a good maxi skirt over here at Dainty Hooligan headquarters! With summer coming, we know all to well that the maxi skirt will be a go-to staple of yours for those warmer days. Without further ado, here are 5 different ways to style that maxi skirt!

1. Keep it easy-breezy with a loose fitting tank or knotted basic tee.

2. Play with proportions. With all the volume in your skirt, keep your top micro with a cute bralette or bandeau. This look would work really great with a bikini top when you're poolside as well.

3. Dress it up with a blazer and your favorite power bag. A solid color as opposed to a print would probably work best for this look and make your maxi skirt work appropriate.

4. Pair it with your favorite cropped top. We know you have at least one cropped top since this trend is kind of a huge one at the moment. Pull that maxi up a few inches to your true waist, throw on your favorite cropped top and you'll keep looking on trend all summer long.

5. Throw on a chambray or denim button-up. Tucked in or worn open and unbuttoned, this look can go from beach side to dinner date in a few simple adjustments.

Things to keep in mind:
- Try tucking it in! Whether it's a tee or a button-up the tucked in look offers up a chic edge.
- Accessorize with a belt, long and layered strands of necklaces, and your favorite pair of
  sunnies.
- Sandals and wedges are ideal for this look, just keep your toes exposed to keep things on the casual
  side.
