It's plain to see that the maxi skirt and even dress has taken over the fashion world. Everywhere you turn you'll see someone showcasing the popular hemline. They're comfortable, versatile, easy to wear, and can be incredibly chic, but is this just all in our heads? Have maxi skirts and dresses morphed into the new yoga pants?
From kids to grown women, yoga pants are a quick item to just throw on and tackle the day in. But lets face it ladies, no matter how comfortable they may be they are certainly not chic or fashionable. You don't always need to be wearing those sexy new heels you bought or those slim trousers to be fashionable, especially when going out to do some errands, BUT you don't and shouldn't be wearing those old yoga pants (that haven't even been to a yoga class). The fact of the matter is that we CAN be comfortable AND fashionable!
Why We Love The Maxi
- Versatility: Dress it up or dress it down, this hemline can do it all.
- An arrary of different maxi skirts: Whether it's clingy, flowy, stretchy, edgy, retro, or classic, there's a maxi for all styles.
- Comfy: Like yoga pants, maxi skirts are comfortable, you can walk freely without havng to tug and adjust your outfit.
- Easy to wear: Seriously you can wear them anywhere and everywhere. Instead of wearing those worn out yoga pants put on a maxi, it's even easier to throw on or off.
- Fashion all year round: Maxi skirts and dresses are one of the few items in your closet you can wear throughout the seasons, you just need to know how to style it.
Why Yoga Pants Are not Everday and Everywhere Pants
- They are Yoga Pants: they are ment to be worn to yoga, and to exercise in. Let's face it, we all know everyone has a pair and doesn't wear them for their intended use.
- Casual (in a "hey, just on my way to the gym" kinda way): Stop wearing yoga pants to work, to dinner, lunch breaks or anything that requires actual pants/clothes. There is a time and a place for yoga pants and in those times I promise you there are better alternatives
- Not too flattering: One size does not fit all with the yoga pant trend. Every single body is beautiful so why hide it in some frumpy spandex pants.
So if everything maxi is becoming the new 'wear anywhere' yoga pants, so be it! Unlike actual yoga pants, we look put together. In our minds we know we're wearing something as easy as yoga pants but when it comes down to it we look like we can head on over to the next Fashion Week. And right now the maxi trend is not going to max out anytime soon.
VIVA THE CROTCHLESS YOGA PANTS!
