Button downs are a hot favorite among most women, and it’s pretty evident why! The buttons are just little details that make a world of a difference to your look. This trendy outfit makes for a great spring look. You can wear a plain T-shirt, or even a linen shirt, and tuck it half in to look both cool and hot at the same time.

2. Monochromatic Look With A Black Denim Skirt

If you have had enough of regular blue wash denim skirts, try a black skirt next time. Try this monochrome look and go all out with black. Layer it with a classic black long coat for fall. You can either wear knee-high boots or ankle length ones to finish the look.

3. White Denim Skirt And Crop Top

White jeans, white shorts, white skirt, etc. are all incredibly stylish choices when it comes to denim. Style your white denim skirt with a crop top or an off shoulder for a hot summer day out. Awaken your inner fashionista and dig through your wardrobe for bright apparel to pair with this skirt for a chic, modern look. Wear flats, sunglasses, and other fun accessories, and enjoy the warm weather.

Did You Know?

Hippies first introduced long denim skirts in the 1960s by recycling old denim jeans.

4. V-Cut Denim Skirt With A Blazer

A casual blazer over a lightly faded V-cut short denim skirt is going to get you all the attention, and for all the right reasons. Choose a V-neck T-shirt or a tank that fits you well. A silver or gold sequin tank top will make this look twice as interesting. Wear nude platforms and a body bag to finish this runway look.

5. Long Denim Skirt And Cashmere

A long denim skirt with a blood red cashmere sweater – even better if it can be off-shoulder like this – red pumps, a high bun, sunglasses, and a tote bag to finish this look. Confident, strong, and stylish – check! You can also bring out a vintage vibe with this long skirt and a classic turtleneck top.

According to Paola Farina, Personal Stylist, “Play with colors like white, gray, and beige and wear this kind of skirt to the workplace, especially if you work in a non-formal or creative environment. You can pair it with a plain shirt, a blouse, a camisole, or a simple tee with a jacket.”

Sue, a blogger, recalls her personal experience of styling a denim skirt in some unique yet classy ways. She chose a long denim skirt and paired it with a solid-colored shirt, stripy tee, sweatshirt, and more for a casual yet sophisticated look. She feels experimental and seems satisfied with the final look, and adds, “ I think it just feels a little fresher to try a different shape, style, and denim finish (i).”

6. Denim Skirt With Embroidered Shirt And Belt

Forget designer clothes and choose a homey, comfortable vibe. Give the robust denim skirt a feminine touch with this soft cotton embroidered shirt, and sandwich a sturdy belt in between. Finish with gladiator sandals.

7. Denim Skirt With An Overcoat And Combat Boots

Add some drama to your denim skirt with an oversized coat, kimono or a jacket and wear combat boots. Badass!

8. Long Denim Skirt With Center Slit

The denim skirt has evolved over the last few decades to match the changing trends, and the trend this season is a skirt with a center slit. If you want to try something not-mainstream, go with an oversized sweater. Put your hair up in a half bun and doll up in a choker and thick kohl. This edgy, street-style fashion radiates freshness and style.

9. Double Shaded Denim Skirt With A Lace Up Top

Now, here’s a skirt that is not very common, and all the more reason for you to give it a shot. Remember, it is important to choose a model that fits our silhouette. If you want to hide the belly, the darker side need to be in the front, while if you want to reduce the hips, the darker shades are along the sides.

This look works great if you are going on a date night or for lunch with friends. The black flats complement the outfit, and the beachy waves give it a casual vibe.

10. Knee Length Chambray Flared Skirt

Chambray has been around, a lot, but wait – these skirts are something new! Yep, you’re right. Try this fit and flare chambray skirt and a simple racerback tank top – tuck it in, and wear sneakers or converse shoes. Paola Farina says, “This is my favorite because you can pair it with boots and a cashmere sweater or with pumps and a shirt. It is very elegant and effortless, and the fabric is less stiff than denim.”

11. Denim Skirt With Tights (Or Leggings)

Skirts and tights have been a wardrobe staple for eons now. Go with a lightly washed mini skirt and a bodysuit, and then throw on a pair of tights or stockings. Black, white, and transparent ones look quite hot. But, the showstopper here is the knee-high boots and the oversized denim jacket. Some people love the denim skirt and legging combination, go for it, but stick to black, white or nude leggings.

12. Shirt Style Denim Skirt With Off-Shoulder Top

How cute is this button down shirt style denim skirt? Wear a crop top or a cold shoulder to complement this style, and also throw on a pair of comfortable boots.

13. Patchwork Denim Skirt And Tank Top

Since everything that’s fashionable will eventually have to be distressed, embroidered, or both, let’s do this with denim skirts too. Because, why not? Let the top be simple, a tank or V-neck would do – let the skirt do the talking.

Quick Tip

Alternatively, you can wear denim skirts with fringes, rhinestones, lace or leather fringes instead of patchwork.

14. Denim Skirt With A Denim Jacket

Since most of us cannot get enough of denim skirts or denim jackets, let’s just get both together and get it over with. Wear a contrast or bold-colored footwear to break the silhouette. You may also experiment with denim shirt outfit ideas to elevate your look.

15. Faded Denim Skirt With Formal Blazer

You remember, we just looked at a skirt and a casual blazer combination, and probably thought a formal one wouldn’t look just as good? Yea, you’re right, except you’re not. Take your skirt game to a whole new level – wear nude or black pumps and strut around because you are now officially the queen of all things denim.

16. Denim Skirt With An Oversized Knotted Top

Just like knotted maxis, knotted tops are creating ripples in the markets right now. And, if you thought you could only pair them with jeans, then you’re mistaken, missy. Go for a denim skirt; it looks sexy. Flats or converse shoes complement this outfit perfectly – just saying.

17. Denim Skirt And White Sneakers

Denim skirt, a V-neck T-shirt tucked in, a choker, a backpack, and white sneakers are all you need for a casual day out shopping or when you need to be in your comfort zone.

18. Denim Skirt Block Heels And Polka Dots Shirt

Are you in a mood to bring in a little retro vibe to your outfit? Pair your denim skirt with a crop-top style polka-dot shirt and wear block heels. Wear red lipstick, put your hair up in a bun, and voila!

Tips On How To Wear A Long Denim Skirt

• Pair a fitted top with a long denim skirt for a balanced look. A tucked-in blouse or form-fitting tee also work well. Additionally, dress up the skirt with a blouse or dress down with a graphic tee or tank top.
• Layer your outfit with a cardigan, denim jacket, or blazer, depending on the season. This adds depth and style.
• Sneakers and sandals offer a casual look, while ankle boots and heels provide a more formal touch.
• You can go for a monochromatic look or add pops of color through your top, accessories, or even a colorful handbag.
• The wash of a denim skirt can determine its level of formality, with darker washes appearing more formal and lighter washes appearing more casual.
• Experiment with mixing different textures to add interest to your outfit. For example, try pairing a denim skirt with a lace top or a chunky knit sweater for contrast.

There are so many ways to style your denim skirt. If this is a staple in your wardrobe and you wish to style it for every season, check out the next section for some tips.

Seasonal Styling Tips For Denim Skirts

Spring

As the weather starts to warm up, a denim skirt pairs perfectly with light layers and fresh spring colors. Opt for a medium-wash denim skirt and style it with a pastel or floral blouse for a soft, feminine look.

Summer

Denim skirts are a summer staple, offering endless versatility for hot days. For an effortless look, pair a high-waisted denim skirt with a cropped top or a tank. Opt for lighter shades of denim, like white or light blue, to complement the season. Sandals or espadrilles keep the look light and breezy, while a straw bag or sunglasses add a chic, summery touch. You can also layer with a lightweight kimono or sheer blouse to add texture without overheating.

Fall

As the temperature drops, transition your denim skirt into fall by layering it with cozy, textured pieces. Pair a dark wash or black denim skirt with a chunky knit sweater or a turtleneck for a warm, stylish look. Tuck in your sweater to define your waist, and complete the outfit with tights and ankle boots or knee-high boots for added warmth.

Winter

Denim skirts can still work in winter with the right layering. Start with a long denim skirt or a midi style, paired with thick tights or leggings underneath for insulation. Layer up with a fitted turtleneck or a wool sweater, and top it off with a structured coat, like a wool trench or a puffer jacket, to keep you warm. Boots are a must! Opt for knee-high boots for extra coverage or combat boots for an edgier look. A beanie and a cozy scarf will finish the outfit, keeping you stylishly warm despite the chilly weather.
