The key to the full skirt is proportion. You must balance the fullness on the bottom with some sexy sleekness on top. Another key point to remember is that anything goes when it comes to fabric this spring. Look for a full skirt in fresh linen and lightweight cotton, which will give it both form and movement.

A great option for dressing up the full skirt is pairing it with a shoulder-baring corset top or a pretty camisole in a magnified black and white floral print. Just be sure your top is form-fitting or tucked in to show off the skirt's narrow waist. Small details like a little bow in the front or some ruffles add dimension and structure to the style.

Strong black and white accessories like a long necklace and bamboo or floral carved bangles give your skirted outfit a playful and artsy feel. A nice rosette kitten heel will complete this great going-out look.

Deep box pleats or constructed inverted pleats add flirty movement to the ladylike shape. For the utmost in relaxed chic, pick a cotton tank or a fitted T-shirt to coordinate with your full skirt. On your feet, anything goes, from flip-flops to espadrilles . Polish it all off with a printed scarf with long fringe and an armful of multi-coloured epoxy bangles in various widths, and a chunky wooden necklace. A brown satchel is big enough to tote around all your daytime essentials and the perfect way to complete the look!
