I adore a good maxi skirt. Just ask my closet, crammed to the brim with long looks, and it will confirm. The maxi is the easiest way to look chic: throw on a tank top and strappy sandals, and you’re good to get around anywhere in LA.
No shock it was love at first sight with this Richard Chai Love number – but it’s actually a pair of pants! And thankfully, not the gross skort type (which you will never see in my closet!). Sitting low and easy on the hips, this a palazzo so billowy, it reads as a skirt no matter how long your stride or wide your gait. Then why not just wear a skirt, you ask? With pleated pants as voluminous as Chai’s, you get so much more fullness and freedom of movement, an effect that will engage and intrigue as you stroll around. On ShopBop
Pair with: Put yourself in instant Vacation Snob mode with a loose cardigan on a casual summer night. Avoid fabric overkill with Crumpet’s cropped cashmere sweater. On Net-a-Porter
