What made try this trend?
I really love the playful vibe of the maxi skirt, there's just something about the long hem that makes me want to spin around in it and feel like a little kid again.

How do you build your outfit around it?
I first decided on what my outfit would look like. I really like edgy-boho mash-ups so I went for this earth-toned, animal print skirt and kept everything dark. I didn't want it to look like the usual gypsy-boho-traveler so I added edgier pieces like my watch and my sunnies.

How do you balance your look to avoid making it look over-the-top?
Call me old fashioned but for this look, I took into consideration the saying that if you're baring skin above, cover the lower body and vice versa. Didn't want to look too covered up so I decided to bare a little skin.

How do you accessorize the maxi skirt trend?
I think you can still accessorize all you want for this trend; it just really depends on the look you're going for. Some use the maxi skirt for minimalist looks while some, take the “more is more” approach.

Can you give tips on how to wear this trend?
It's one of the easiest trends as there are a variety of maxi skirts available in the market. If you're bold, go for prints and brights. If you like a more basic look, try the solid colored ones. There's a maxi skirt for everyone so my tip is to find the maxi skirt that most fits your style and one that you'll be comfortable in.

How would you wear it during the day, night, to the beach, to a party, to work?
I would love to go all-out gypsy-boho-traveler for the day by throwing on a printed top, a scarf, and a hat. For the beach, I'd pair my skirt with a bikini top.

Reg wore a tube top from a department store, a maxi skirt from Peace Love Fashion paired with Ray-Ban sunnies and a watch from FCUK.
