30 Days of Outfit Ideas: How to Style a Denim Skirt

January 16, 2018 By: Nada Manleycomment

For the longest time, I associated denim skirts with college, when I wore my Guess denim mini with my sorority jerseys, on repeat, because a skirt in denim material is girlier than the pants… This outfit was usually accessorized with Keds or my ubiquitous Sam & Libby ballet flats. (Yes, the Sam, before he went solo and became Sam Edelman). That’s how old I am. And when I recently visited my sister’s niece on the same campus, we had this conversation:

“There was no Starbucks when I was at Stetson.”
She, incredulous: “No Starbucks on campus???”
Me: No. No Starbucks, period.

That stung a little, I’m not gonna lie. All of this to say that I wasn’t born yesterday, so the denim skirt has cropped up a couple of times in the history of my wardrobe. Rediscovering it is like being reunited with an old friend. And this time, that friend is a lot more stylish. Whether you opt for a straight or pencil style classic or the button-front A-line style that’s everywhere, it’s as versatile as your favorite jeans but, you know, girlier.

Here, some cute ways to wear one:

I never took off my denim midi in highschool. LOVE that denim skirts are coming back and are longer for those of us who don't wear minis anymore! lol

The Best Denim Skirts for Every Budget

There are a few considerations when choosing a denim skirt, but as always with denim, a darkest wash is more versatile if you plan to dress it up for business casual as well as down on the weekend. If you have a SD2 body type, choose an A-line or straight skirt, or opt for a pencil skirt if you’re a Style Dial 1. Most retailers have a denim skirt or two, but a hot new line called Good American (available at Nordstrom) is especially designed for a SD2 body, and claims to prevent that waist gap at the back of your skirts/jeans that happens when your hips are curvy and your waist is defined.

I hope these ideas inspire you to mix it up with your denim skirt, or to pick one up on sale if you don’t own one already!
