Two plus-size models wearing maxi skirts.

A Pitch: Let’s Make Year-Round Maxi Skirts a Thing

Maxi skirts are often considered a boho summer dream, perfect for wearing when the temperatures are high and you’re (ideally, at least) relaxing somewhere far away. And while that description isn’t wrong, it definitely does not do justice to how versatile the maxi skirt really is. Yes, this skirt style is no doubt a gorgeous addition to your beach vacation wardrobe, but it can also serve you well when the leaves are crunchy or there’s snow on the ground. Plus-size maxi skirts should, quite frankly, be a year-round staple—full stop.

Not every single maxi skirt will work in each season, but your go-to classics—like neutral hues and animal prints—can be worn just as easily with sandals and a crop top as with booties and a chunky cardigan. Good plus-size maxi skirts are timeless, chic, and play well with every seasonal piece in your wardrobe. Whether it’s 90 degrees outside and all you want is to throw on a bralette with your maxi skirt and call it a day or the news predicts snow and you’re ready to bundle up in a maxi skirt and cropped puffer jacket, this classic skirt style will never disappoint.

For those who do want a few seasonal options to rotate in and out of their wardrobe depending on the weather, though, there are plus-size maxi skirts in that arena, too. Summer-ready maxis in bright colors and fun patterns abound—just as autumnal maxi skirts in all your favorite fall colors are readily available. No matter the season, occasion, or your personal style, maxi skirts are a must-have for everyone.

Florals, bold prints, or neutrals—you can shop them all in plus-size maxi skirt form below. These beauts will look just as good in the dog days of summer as they will in the dead of winter, so go ahead and treat yourself to a few.
