Few silhouettes offer the same combination of comfort and polish. A maxi skirt moves easily from a summer lunch to an evening event, works equally well dressed up with heels or down with flat sandals, and \u2014 unlike many summer trends \u2014 tends to stay in rotation well beyond a single season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A striped knit maxi skirt in warm, earthy tones is one of the standout pieces this season, styled here with a simple white shirt tied at the waist, a bold gold-plated chain choker and high-front leather clogs \u2014 proof that a maxi skirt doesn\u2019t need to be fussy to make an impact. The full look: stripe knit slim vest (\u00a3125), mini day bag in raffia and leather (\u00a3395), high front clog in Italian leather (\u00a3295), Wasteland choker in 24ct gold-plated finish (\u00a3950), travel layering shirt (\u00a3125) and the stripe knit maxi skirt itself (\u00a3195), all from meandem.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep proportions in mind: a fuller maxi skirt pairs best with a fitted or tucked-in top, while a slimmer column silhouette can carry a looser blouse. Layering a shirt over a vest or slip top \u2014 tied rather than buttoned \u2014 adds shape without adding bulk. Platform or block-heel sandals lift the length without sacrificing comfort, while a structured bag balances out the volume of the skirt itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maxi skirts continue to dominate summer wardrobes, offering a flowing silhouette that feels both effortless and refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This season\u2019s edit draws from meandem.com, with prints, stripes and accessories designed to be worn together as a full look or mixed into an existing wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: How do I style a maxi skirt without looking too casual?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Add structure with a tailored shirt or blazer on top, a defined waist (tied or belted), and a heeled sandal or clog rather than a flat sneaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Are maxi skirts in style in 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Yes \u2014 maxi skirts remain one of the season\u2019s dominant silhouettes, with stripes, florals and abstract prints trending alongside solid earthy and jewel tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: What shoes work best with a maxi skirt?<\/strong>A: Platform sandals, block-heel clogs or wedges tend to work best, lifting the hemline while keeping the look comfortable for daytime wear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Maxi skirts are dominating summer wardrobes again this year \u2014 here\u2019s how to wear the trend, and where to shop…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[905,901,903,904,902],"class_list":["post-4110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-highlights","tag-best-maxi-skirts-uk","tag-how-to-style-a-maxi-skirt","tag-maxi-skirt-trend-2026","tag-striped-maxi-skirt","tag-summer-maxi-skirt-outfit-ideas"],"acf":[],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4110"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4117,"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4110\/revisions\/4117"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pridemagazines.co.uk\/rutland-and-stamford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/1-fash.jpg\")
