Are Maxi Skirts business casual?

[Deleted]

If you wear them with a jacket?

[iamgrace]

I don't think so.

I have no idea why I capitalized maxi and skirt.

LOL.

[meggers5]

A jacket as in a blazer?

I don't think that would work well with a maxi.

[Deleted]

a cardigan ( oh no!) not a jacket?

Lots of folks wear them around my office, but we are super casual/ artsy here.

[mommytutu]

I sway more towards no.

[TrickyBob]

Uh so. I wore a maxi skirt to a job interview today and paired it with a blazer. I was complimented from the two folks interviewing me on my skirt and how put together I looked.

It all depends on the skirt.

ETA: I will post a picture from the fitting room. AND I wore a slip under it so that it didn't cling. 

[ralphlauren]

Nope

[caddywompus]

We are business casual here, and some of the women wear maxi skirts/dresses. I think it depends on the job you do.... sit at a desk all day, work in warehouse, interact with customers, etc.

[Deleted]

No, I would not consider them business casual.

Not really. I can wear one to work, but my boss wears seersucker shorts, a polo & boat shoes most of the summer. We're definitely just plain casual.

[jennistarr1]

I vote no, I feel like I could see some people pulling it off but there are a lot of "if's" that would have to align

[emjacobs]

Depends on the atmosphere. Maxi skirt is dressing up in my office.

I wear a maxi dress with short sleeves and a wrap front to work when I don't have meetings that day.

They're just plain casual, not business casual.

It is actually really cute.


Maybe not work appropriate - but it is cute!

Attachment DeletedThink navy blazer and small navy stripes on the skirt. With a collared shirt. And low wedges. Plus great hair and make up.

[Deleted]

Ok.

I knew all of this. LOL.



But my outfit would have been ADORABLE.


I hate dressing in FL for work.

[pantsparty]

Probably not. I think most jackets that pair well with a maxi, like a jean jacket, are strictly casual. A more formal jacket doesn't seem like it goes with a maxi.

Still no. Sowwy.

I wear them to my business casual office. I usually only do it on Fridays though. We don't have an official casual Friday but everyone does dress a little less formal on Fridays.

[gretchenindisguise]

This makes me thankful for where I work.

I wear maxis and sandals. I figure they're a step above jeans and way more comfortable.

[Deleted]

Those are all cute, but still not business casual.

I think they can be. But what kind of shoes are you allowed to wear to work? I like maxis with sandals and if you aren't allowed to wear sandals to work, that might make it look weird.

I was thinking open toed nude wedges or the j crew dupe wedges.

[elleblue]

Business casual? No. 

Work appropriate? Possibly, depends on the job and dress code.

I know

Maybe I will do it on a friday....

I worked in an office with many religious people where it was business casual because religion dictated that women fully cover their legs and not wear pants. Other than that, no.

[FastHands]

With the right skirt and styled correctly, I think you could aaaaaaaaaaaaaalmost get there, but not quite. But depending on how strict your office is about defining (I guess enforcing is the better word) business casual, you could get away with it.

Yeah I thought about this.

I mean, I wear cotton dresses with blazers all the time. What is the difference of it being a long dress vs short?


"I get it"... but just for arguments sake...
