You know, we’re always up for maxi-ing anything – fries, frappes – but we’re especially keen to go large on length before we’ve perfected our holiday bod.

So when we saw Topshop’s tie dye maxi skirt, we knew it would be a great summer solution to all our beach-bound problems.

The cream colouring contrasts brilliantly against the multi-coloured orange and purple tie dye print, and makes us think that, perhaps, those hippies were onto something when they skipped through the fields with flowers in their hair and peace in their heart.

Perfect for festivals teamed with strappy sandals, a cropped tee and crochet waistcoat, you’ll have Kate Hudson in Almost Famous wishing she was you.

Fun, free and floaty – it’s your ticket to trippy Seventies style this summer.
