Floor-sweeping maxi skirts

The maxi is all about flow, a skirt that floats as you walk and keeps you cool when the weather warms. We cut ours in lightweight fabrics with a comfortable elasticated or tie waist, so it sits softly and moves freely. A soft floral maxi feels romantic for a garden lunch or a coastal weekend, while a breezy plain in cream or sand reads relaxed and elegant. Both bring graceful movement without ever feeling fussy. For dresses in the same spirit, see our maxi dresses.

Florals and breezy plains, easy elegance

There is something quietly confident about a maxi skirt, covered yet relaxed, graceful without effort. Pair one with a singlet and flat sandals for the day, then swap in a heeled sandal and a delicate top for evening. It is the piece that makes warm-weather dressing feel considered, and it photographs beautifully as it moves in the breeze. Worn to a coastal weekend or an unhurried summer evening, a maxi skirt stays comfortable from the first warm morning to the last of the light. Pieces from our tops make the transition easy.
