Maxi skirts have been making waves in the fashion-space for quite a few seasons now, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. As we make our way through the holiday season, the floor-grazing style has become a surprisingly versatile hero item in our winter wardrobes—especially in the realm of evening wear. Long skirts encapsulate polished elegance and—most importantly— provide coverage and warmth, in one easy piece. Plus, the silhouette can quickly be dressed up or down depending on the event and the time of day.
Take Veronica Beard’s classic, black, satin maxi. The fluid style is given edge when styled with a white T-shirt from Leset (a Vogue editor-favorite) and a classic blue button-up from The Frankie Shop, but it would look just as much at home with a simple black cashmere sweater. Meanwhile, a sequin separate like that of Saks Potts feels fresh when paired with a chunky turtleneck and sheer socks. Explore more avenues of the eveningwear staple with our maxi skirt edit, below.

The Statement Bow
Take a bow, or two, with Bernadette’s wrap maxi skirt and Sandy Liang’s oversized hair clip. A metallic turtleneck from Joseph will balance the proportions of this look, while a storybook clutch from Olympia Le-Tan adds a touch of whimsy.
The Slinky Silhouette
Veronica Beard’s fluid black maxi takes on an air of casual ease when paired with classic, menswear staples on top. Bottega Veneta’s chic leather sandal balances out this look, and simple gold accessories are the perfect finishing touch.
The All-Over Embellishment
This look takes its cue from Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection, pairing sequins with a heavy knit and baroque pearls, à la Mrs. Prada herself. Black strappy kitten heels and a patent bag anchor the look.
The Long and Lean
Make Max Mara’s classic black maxi evening-ready by pairing it with a fluid, satin halter from Matteau and The Frankie Shop’s over-the-top faux fur coat. Finish the look with sharp kitten heels and crystal earrings.
The Sultry Satin
Give goddess in J.Crew’s sequined turtleneck, a slinky maxi from Victoria Beckham, and sculptural gold jewelry. Jacquemus’ embellished shoulder bag ties it all together.
The Winter White
Khaite’s high-waisted, sculpting maxi will look elegant in any scenario. Lean into the look with sleek basics like Reformation’s stretchy heeled boot and Chloe’s smart leather bomber.
The Sumptuous Velvet
Try a dressed-down maxi look by pairing a satin skirt with heavy combat boots. Everlane’s versatile sweater set adds to the ’90s minimalism of it all, while a chunky black scarf—an essential cold-weather accessory!—ties it all together.
The Pleated and Polkadotted
Balance the femininity of Altuzarra’s printed, pleated maxi with a cozy bomber from Mango, Rag Bone’s sharp spaghetti strap tank and even sharper kitten heels from Miu Miu. Khaite’s oversized earrings are just the right amount of unexpected.
The Sequin Stunner
Pair Self-Portrait’s sequined maxi with Everlane’s chunky gray knit and sleek, silver jewelry for a chic party look.

The Charming Accent
Balance out the femininity of Ganni’s velvet bow-adorned maxi by pairing it with an oversized blazer and satin tank. Emme Parson’s gold pumps and a necklace from Mondo Mondo make the look feel festive, yet fashionable.
The Subtle Sparkle
Up to cool factor of Cos’s sequined set by pairing it with hard-edged accessories like Paola Sighinolfi’s rugged silver earrings and a pointy knee-high boot.
The Floor-Kissing Hem
A hip-hugging take on the maxi by Rick Owens looks right at home with a sculpted bustier top by Tove and a cropped leather jacket from Loulou Studio.
