Los Angeles, CA

I've been back in New Hampshire for the past week and I've been reminded just how cold it can be this time of year. Unless you're in my neck of the woods (Southern California) or some other warm southern state, chances are, the only pieces you're wearing right now are the ones that will keep you cozy. That being said, skirts are probably the last thing on your mind. But adding a longer maxi skirt to your rotation can be the change your wardrobe needs—and you won't freeze while wearing it.

Like this gorgeous satin option, maxi skirts can be paired with your coziest winter sweater for a look that's totally balanced. I wore this outfit for a Christmas party but it works for a day at the office or brunch with friends, too. Adding one or two maxi skirts to your cold-weather line-up can really help to freshen up your everyday style.
