Long Bohemian Skirt

Bohemian Maxi Skirt

Size Chart

The UK equivalents above come from the actual measurements rather than the letter sizes, which read about two sizes generous — the range genuinely runs from a UK 6 to a UK 12 rather than up to a 16. Choose on the waist, which is the only fitted point since the skirt flares away from the body below the waistband; no hip measurement is supplied. The length is the same 35.4 inches on every size, so your height rather than your size decides where the hem falls.

A light, dry-handled fabric with a faint slub, gathered into a smooth high waistband and then cut with enormous sweep so the skirt reads as a near-complete circle when it moves. There's no print, no trim and no detail beyond the volume itself — the hem alone carries several metres of fabric, which is why it lifts and floats rather than hanging still.

How to Style a Bohemian Maxi Skirt

All the drama sits below the waist, so keep the top half small and close: a black vest, a white off-shoulder top, a fitted tee tucked in. Flat leather sandals or ballet flats suit the fluidity far better than anything chunky, and a woven basket or macramé bag finishes it without effort. The cream reads holiday, the chartreuse reads considered. On fit, a skirt gathered at the natural waist and released into this much volume flatters essentially every figure and is particularly good on apple and pear shapes, since it marks the narrowest point and conceals everything below; the caveat is scale, so if you're petite, keep the top firmly tucked and add a little height underfoot to stop the fabric taking over.

FAQ

The letter sizes look generous — what do they really measure?
Considerably smaller than the labels suggest. What's marked small measures 23.6 inches at the waist, which is a UK 6, and the largest reaches 28.3 inches, or a UK 12. Use the UK column in the chart and match your own waist to the inch figure; if you're above a UK 12, this style won't fit.

Do you need a belt with it?
Not at all, but it changes the skirt entirely. Worn plain, the smooth waistband keeps everything soft and fluid; add a metal disc or leather belt over the top and it sharpens the waist and gives the whole outfit an anchor. Either works, so it's worth having a belt to hand for the days you want it looking more deliberate.
