It is possible to combine green color not only with white and black, but also with other bright shades, for example, with violet, red, pink, blue or yellow.

Long skirts have retained their popularity for several years in a row, and in the new season, fashion couturiers have not offered us anything fundamentally new. Remains pleating, free silhouettes, bright colors, floral ornaments.

The composition of things with which the maxi skirt will be combined has changed a little. Now these are clothes of completely different styles - from classic to sport.

• Choosing the upper part of the set with a long skirt, you need to follow one important rule: the more magnificent the skirt, the more should be the top, and vice versa. With voluminous skirts, it looks well fitting top, and with narrow - more loose.

• Do not buy models with a horizontal pattern;
• the distance from the edge of the skirt to the floor should be a centimeter and a half;
• the skirt should be exactly the size you want;
• a skirt on a yoke or high waist will visually make you several centimeters longer;
• Wear long skirts with high heel or platform shoes.

Long skirts are a piece of clothing that can be combined with a lot of things. Do not limit your imagination to simple T-shirts and tops: models on the catwalks have long demonstrated the most incredible, but harmonious combinations of things.

Denim shirt? Sports jacket with a hood? Warm vest? Why not! A maxi skirt can be a great pair for each of these things. The harmony of the image is made up of trifles, so be sure to support the combination with accessories that match the style.
