The appeal of a corset top transcends time. Once considered outdated and restrictive, sexy corset tops have now become a romantic fashion statement that you simply must get in on. If you’ve been wondering how to style a maxi skirt for special occasions, a corset top is the right place to start. You can pair a satin skirt in a luxe champagne color with a bold corset top in royal blue for a sophisticated ensemble, or reach for a mesh-detail corset top and pair it with a vibrant floral skirt to create a striking contrast. Even maxi skirts with shimmery details will pair fantastically with a corset top.

When you want to dress up but still need a casual feel to your outfit, you can go with a sexy bodysuit instead. A fitted bodysuit will give you the same streamlined silhouette as a corset top while being more laid-back for everyday settings, such as a brunch date. How to style a maxi skirt with bodysuits? For a classy look, pair a fitted bodysuit with a straight maxi skirt with a slit at the back. If you’re feeling more city-girl chic, go for a maxi denim skirt instead in a complementary color.

You can also go for a milkmaid-style top with a sweetheart or square neckline and puffed sleeves. Pair them with flowy maxi skirts for a balanced silhouette. Look for details such as a ruched waist, crinkled texture, and ruffles. Tiered skirts with interesting details like embroidery or schiffli are also a great choice.
