It seems hard to believe that it was only a few seasons ago that maxi skirts and dresses were associated with hippies and grannies. Now, we can’t get enough of their leg lengthening powers and the massive style points they score. They’re so much more versatile than we originally thought too. From Lanvin’s dramatic, floating evening dresses to Jil Sander’s beachy and bright maxis to Proenza Schouler’s work appropriate, below-the-knee looks, there’s a longer length that works for every occasion.

And on the high street there are some great options too, at really affordable prices.
‘Nineties grunge’ is a great way to wear a maxi skirt. Pair a skirt like this dragonfly print, charcoal coloured skirt from Dorothy Perkins, £25 available in sizes 8-12 and 20, with some biker boots and a denim jacket. Keep the colours muted, pile on the eye liner and leave your hair down.
For something a little more summery, this Maggie + Me floral and stripe maxi skirt really taps into your girlie side.

Its loose fit will be very flattering if you’re nervous about wearing clingy styles and will create a lovely ‘swoosh’ as you walk. It costs just £30 and is available in small and medium.
There’s no doubt that maxi skirts are going to be big news at weddings and other formal occasions this year. To make sure your bang on trend but not blending in with the crowd, go for a dress with a standout print like this brown paisley design available at BHS for £55 in sizes 8 to 20. Add heels, a shawl and a fascinator and you’re ready to wow.

Or if you want to tick the trend box for eye popping colour this season, this dress from Very is another show stopping piece of eveningwear. We love the flattering neckline and flamenco skirt.
Keep it modern by wearing with some killer stilettoes like these, which have a cute bow detail too . They also come in black in sizes 3 to 8, and for £13 you can’t go wrong.

There’s no avoiding it, the maxi length is here to stay and we’re pretty sure there isn’t an occasion in our summer diaries where a full length skirt isn’t the most fashionable thing to be seen in.
