10 Ways to Wear a Maroon Skirt
I must confess, it was only recently that I learnt that burgundy, maroon and oxblood are not the same color *gasp*.
Burgundy is the darkest in shade of the 2 colors because it’s red mixed with purple whereas maroon and oxblood are mixed with brown. You learn everyday!
A maroon skirt is a classic and versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for a variety of occasions. Whether you’re heading to work, a date night, or a casual weekend outing, there are plenty of ways to style a maroon skirt to suit your personal taste and the event you’re attending.
In today’s blog post, we’ll explore some of the best outfit combinations to wear with a maroon skirt, including tops, shoes, and accessories that will help you create a polished and stylish look.

What to wear with a maroon skirt
1. Classic white shirt
For a timeless and sophisticated look, pair your maroon skirt with a classic white shirt. Whether you opt for a button-down, a blouse, or a turtleneck, a white shirt will instantly elevate your outfit and make you look put-together.
You can tuck the shirt into the skirt for a polished look or leave it untucked for a more casual vibe.

To complete your outfit, pair your skirt with some simple black pumps or ballet flats and minimal jewelry. This look is perfect for the office or a more formal event where you want to make a statement.
For a more casual look, opt for a white tee or crop top. During the summer months, a short-sleeved white blouse like THIS ONE is a great choice.
2. Chambray shirt
For a more casual and relaxed look, pair your maroon skirt with a chambray shirt. The light blue color of the shirt complements the deep maroon of the skirt and creates a chic and effortless vibe.
You can leave the shirt untucked and tie it at the waist for a more laid-back look or tuck it into the skirt for a more polished appearance.

For footwear, you can opt for some comfortable sneakers or sandals to complete the look. My favorite option is a pair of white sneakers. Accessorize with some delicate jewelry, such as a dainty necklace or bracelet, to keep the focus on the outfit.

A neutral sweater is a perfect option to pair with a maroon skirt for a cozy and comfortable outfit.
Choose a sweater in a neutral color, such as beige, gray, or black, to balance out the boldness of the maroon skirt. You can tuck the sweater into the skirt or leave it untucked for a more relaxed look.

A denim jacket is a perfect layering piece to wear with a maroon or burgundy skirt for a casual and effortless look.
