Maxi skirts and T-shirts might sound like a smart-casual clash but this pairing is actually incredibly elegant as an alternative to dresses or trousers. Silent Witness star Emilia Fox showcased this perfectly last July at Henley Festival and if you're stuck on what to wear in the heat, a cotton tee and a floral skirt is a stunning choice.
She loves British clothing brands and her skirt was a pleated tulle maxi by ME+EM covered with delicate pink floral embroidery that enhanced the feminine feel. The floor-sweeping design felt elevated and yet it didn't stray into 'ballgown' territory thanks to the elasticated waistband an A-line shape.
