The long skirt is one of the easiest ways to look current without dressing loudly. In Manhattan, it works because it can move from a gallery opening to a showroom visit, from coffee in SoHo to dinner on the Upper East Side.
How to Wear It
Try a white tank and black maxi skirt with sculptural flats. Pair a denim long skirt with a crisp shirt and belt. Wear a satin slip skirt with a blazer for dinner. For daytime, use a flat sandal or ballet flat; for evening, use a pointed mule or low heel.
Keep the silhouette clean. If the skirt has volume, make the top narrow. If the skirt is slim, add a soft jacket or oversized shirt.
