Street Report: Maxed Out

Every week in Street Report, LookBooks highlights the best street style across the world--and the world wide web. We've scoured the blogosphere for the coolest trends in international street fashion, picking up the hottest looks from some of our own LookBooks style leaders.

Let's be honest: the micro-mini is so 1960's. Fashion has taken long, lean maxi skirts back from the Puritans and transformed the dowdy silhouette into something directional and dramatic--with the power of transformation. A slimline maxi with a crop top and a pair of combat boots or stacked platforms, as seen on the Style Scout, is '90s grunge made chic. Even in these bitter winter months, a sheer maxi skirt has diaphanous layering appeal over wool tights or leggings--observe Street Peeper and Stil in Berlin's holey goodness.

And if an all-over floral print gives you nightmarish visions of the nursing home, fear no more. Style a bold, bright patterned maxi with neutral accents--like LookBooks user FashionSheSays or Emily on All the Pretty Birds--and you've got a prim, vintage look with youthful sophistication.
