Black, white, rosy, grey, nude, navy blue or a skirt with a nice print, they all can be a perfect choice for an elegant look. Tops with thiny straps look sophisticated. Plain color works great for keeping the elegance too. Choose statement necklaces, big ring, nice pair of heels and a clutch, it all goes well with it. 
The top and the skirt should complement each other in order to keep a nice flow in the outfit.

When you're going for more of a casual look, be free to experiment a little.  
Crop tops are the main thing that  goes well with maxis. If you want to show your figure, tight maxi skirt and a crop top with some wrapping heels is a good answer to that.

Beanie - summer/winter

There are a lot of those who likes to experiment and wear winter made items during the summer time, but not everyone feels like that.
