Six maxi skirts and dresses that are must-haves this winter 

Maxi skirts and dresses are back in a big way for the season. Usually reserved for warm weather or evening wear, these ankle grazing silhouettes are finding favour as casual, everyday wear even for the winter. We take a look at statement pieces from labels like Raey and Emilia Wickstead.

A good ribbing

In motion
