Maxi Skirt, Maxi Dress.

Maxi skirts / dresses are becoming quite the item this coming season. When worn properly, these can be quite sexy. However, there is a downside to the maxi dress/ skirt. The downside is that a single maxi skirt or dress likely contains more fabric than the rest of the skirts in your closet combined. This means that worn improperly, you might start to look like a frumpy cast member from "Little House On the Prairie," rather than a trendy fashionista. That's not attractive, and it hasn't been since 1974. So, here are a few tips to avoid said scenario:

*Define The Waist:
Wether for you this means tucking in your top, adding a belt, or both, be sure that your natural waist isn't buried under a sack of fabric. Wearing a more fitted top to contrast the looseness of the skirt is another good way to emphasize your silhouette, and show off the slimmest part of your body.

Show off:
You've already covered up about 60% of your body with a single article of clothing, maybe try showing off some of the other 40% a little bit. Go for a plunging v-neck, fitted blazer, a sheer breezy with a bra, a crop-top, or maybe even just a sexy little tulip back tank top.

*If your maxi skirt / dress is sheer, try wearing it with a mini slip or perhaps no slip at all. You can use your legs to add the edge and sexiness to your outfit, and cover up your top half a bit more.
