Back to school is in the air, symbolizing another short summer coming to an end, but there’s one fashion staple to keep on hand no matter what the season. Often only associated with summer, your maxi skirt not only wins most comfortable in your closet, but also most versatile. Perfect for both hot and cold weather, the maxi is a forgiving look for all body types, an absolute must-have separate. Choose from free flowing or figure hugging, and add a leather jacket and a pair of your favorite booties for the upcoming fall and winter.
Check out our favorite transitional maxis in the gallery above, and welcome fall in style.
