Mossimo Maxi Skirt
Our maxi skirt delivers the relaxed silhouette you reach for all season long. Cut from soft jersey knit, it drapes naturally from a comfortable elastic waistband and falls to ankle length with just enough movement for an easy stride. We designed this piece to pair with tucked tees, cropped sweaters, and your favorite sandals or sneakers.
We built this skirt from a cotton-dominant jersey blend that stretches just enough to move with you, then returns to shape. The 5% spandex content prevents sagging at the waistband while maintaining breathability throughout the day.
Sizing & fit
The Mossimo skirt runs true to size with a relaxed fit through the hips and thighs. If you’re between sizes, we recommend ordering your usual size — the elastic waistband accommodates a range of measurements comfortably.
Measurement guide
Size small measures approximately 28 inches at the natural waist unstretched, expanding to 36 inches. Medium measures 30 inches unstretched and stretches to 38 inches. Large measures 32 inches and expands to 40 inches. All sizes share the same 38-inch inseam from waistband to hem, landing at or just above the ankle on most body types. The skirt is cut with a full sweep that measures 60 inches around the hem in size medium, providing plenty of walking room without excess fabric dragging on the ground.
Styling versatility
This silhouette works across seasons and settings. Tuck in a fitted tee and add slip-on sneakers for weekend errands, or pair it with a cropped knit and ankle boots when the temperature drops. The neutral drape complements graphic tops without competing for attention, and the length balances out voluminous jackets or oversized cardigans.
We’ve seen customers wear it under long coats in winter and with open-weave sweaters in spring. The same easy flow found in our midi dress collection carries over here, so you can layer this skirt into existing outfits without rethinking proportions. It also packs flat in a suitcase and shakes out wrinkle-free, making it a reliable travel piece that doesn’t require special handling.

Questions about the Mossimo maxi skirt
The skirt measures approximately 38 inches from the top of the waistband to the hem in all sizes, landing at or just above the ankle for most wearers. If you’re taller than 5’8″, it may hit slightly higher on the leg. The elastic waistband can be worn at your natural waist or slightly lower on the hips, which adjusts the final length by an inch or two.
The waistband is elastic and stretches to accommodate a range of measurements, but it doesn’t have a drawstring or adjustable closure. It sits comfortably at the natural waist and stays in place throughout the day without rolling or sliding down. If you prefer a looser fit, sizing up will give you more room through the waist and hips.
Yes, tumble dry on low heat to preserve the fabric’s elasticity and prevent shrinkage. High heat can weaken the spandex fibers in the blend and cause the waistband to lose its stretch over time. For best results, remove the skirt promptly once the cycle finishes to minimize wrinkles, or hang it to air dry if you prefer to skip the dryer altogether.
This style does not include pockets. The clean, uninterrupted silhouette keeps the side seams flat and the drape smooth from waist to hem. If you need a maxi skirt with pockets, our cargo maxi and utility maxi styles both feature side seam pockets with reinforced stitching.
The ankle-length hem pairs well with sneakers, sandals, ankle boots, and low heels. Avoid shoes with ankle straps that sit right at the hemline, as they can visually cut the leg line. Slip-on styles or shoes that show a bit of skin at the ankle tend to create the most balanced proportions with this skirt length.
The jersey knit has enough weight to drape naturally without static cling in most conditions. If you notice cling in dry winter months, a light spritz of anti-static spray on the inside of the skirt before wearing usually solves the issue. You can also run a dryer sheet along the interior fabric or wear a slip underneath for extra smoothness.
No, the fabric is opaque and does not show undergarments or skin tone. The cotton-spandex blend has enough density to maintain coverage in all lighting conditions, and the color doesn’t fade to a thinner shade after washing. You can wear standard underwear without needing a slip or extra layer underneath.
