full skirts

Wow Floral Printed Skirt, Free People
Full skirts add a flirty flare to to simple blouses while still maintaining an air of chic femininity . They typically high-waisted with a wide waistband (2-3inches),  and then is pleated slightly, creating a lot of volume.

This season, look for floral-patterned skirts with a muted palette, as well as solid neutral-colored skirts with compelling textures. For an ultra-feminine touch and a little more volume and bounce, wear a tulle slip underneath your ensemble that is just barely longer than your full skirt, causing it to show just below the skirt's hem.

Always pair a full skirt with a simple, non eye-catching blouse, to avoid an outfit that is too "busy." Wear them with simple blouse, blouse and scarf, or blouse and cardigan combo. Avoid too many pieces made of lace, chiffon, or other ultra-feminine fabrics, as well as anything with intricate detailing or lots of ruffles. The full skirt should be the focal point. Tights, thigh highs, oxford booties, and over-the-knee boots compliment full skirts well.
