maxiskirts
Long flowing bottoms
Maxiskirts are skirts that extend to the ankle or floor, the longest of the standard skirt lengths.
The style emerged in the late 1960s as a reaction against miniskirts, offering a bohemian or formal alternative: She paired the maxiskirt with sandals for a flowing summer look.
The singular is maxiskirt.
