An annual staple for summer dressing, flowy maxi skirts are ultimately perfect for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration here in Malaysia.
Not sure if these floor length skirts will work as a chic baju raya option for you? Worry not as we’ll gleefully lay out some maxi skirt fashion tips for your consumption in this special Fashion for Raya series.
Bandeau-style top and flowy maxi skirt are this year’s current most adored pairing which in this case, is tastefully topped off with a knitted vest. If you want to beat the heat and celebrate Eid in style, this look would definitely be a win. For those who’d prefer less flesh-baring, switch the top with a blouse that is tucked in and pop a skinny belt to cinch the waistline.
With a monochrome maxi like this, you may opt for a more vibrantly printed top.

Green is the mean color of 2013 and a flowy green maxi skirt with sweet pleat detailing is just heaven-sent. If what you’re looking for is an alternative to traditional baju raya, indulge and mix it up with on-trend maxi skirts. Toughen up elegant green maxi with studded hand-carry bag and a randomly casual tee. While this may be a bit rebellious, it can be pretty refreshing.

A monochromatic perfect-for-Eid ensemble is not only chic and classic, it leaves space and freedom to amp up your jewelry/accessory selection. Throw on some chunky necklace and bangle. Chuck on some strappy heels. Curling iron and hairspray are your best friends as you’ll want that cascading romantic curls to last the day and into the night.

For a quirky and almost-slouchy outfit for Eid, don’t be afraid to inject your own personal style. The neon mint maxi skirt is a fashion statement by itself. By pairing it with a surprisingly laid-back shredded top, you’re ultimately saying that you’re comfortable mixing up the trends and making them your own. The bow heels pull the seemingly unexpected pieces together.

Since green is the color of the year, all shades of green are up for grabs. And if grassy green and mint green aren’t your favorite colors, give dark broody olive shade a chance instead. Team your olive maxi skirt with a tucked in printed button up and top off with a structured blazer and voilà, you’re done!.
