Denim skirts are a closet staple, but they're having a little extra moment in the sun right now. Some of us were forced to wear denim maxi skirts to church, so the idea of them being considered overtly fashionable has been shocking to say the least — but I'm starting to come around...suddenly, finding them among my favorite jeans sparks joy. And though I'm a midi skirt girl through-and-through, the magic of a denim skirt is that you can style them from mini to maxi (if you dare). Searching for your version of the perfect denim skirt? You've come to the right place!
Mini Denim Skirts
Challengers was one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, and quickly inspired the tenniscore trend we're seeing left and right lately. What better way to kick off our denim skirts roundup than with a mini pleated design?
It's made with comfort denim, has a low-rise fit, and a raw hem that creates a superbly edgy look — with a hint of tennis-clad class.
Future Collective with Jeneè Naylor Belted Button-Front Denim Mini Skirt
I didn't know denim skirts could look so chic until I saw influencer Jeneè Naylor's take on them! This button-front design is great for the stylish individual who wants to wear something that doesn't feel super causal.
It's designed with midweight and recycled cotton along with a belt that allows you adjust the fit of the skirt's waistline.
Sometimes you just need a simple A-line skirt that feel perfect for those ultra casual days. Prior to welcoming midi denim skirts with welcome arms, I loved wearing A-line skirts. They seemed to elongate my more petite frame, so I kept them in rotation!
This skirt is easy to wash (thank goodness for machine-wash care instructions), and has the classic front-button I'll never get tired of seeing.
In case there's a chance that you're tired of blue wash denim, let this neutral cream-colored skirt elevate whatever look you're going for. It's mostly made of cotton with a few additions like elastane and polyester, making it a super cute choice for those really sunny days.
Midi Denim Skirts
This 5-star rated denim skirt is the mother of all midi skirts, if you're looking for a longer length. It's unlined, has five pockets, and a front slit that won't threaten to expose your goodies. This skirt is the perfect universal piece that goes with everything from graphic t-shirts to button-up blouses.
Levi's obviously had to make the list more than once because there's no denying that this brand truly lives up to its iconic denim offerings. I've had the same pair of Levi's jeans for almost eight years, so believe me when I saw you need this side slit piece if you want a durable denim skirt. It has a 90's inspired fit that will help complete your "I wish I could've been an extra on the set of She's All That" dreams.
This is another brand whose denim is immaculate. If you're not a fan of the way denim usually fits, you'll rejoice knowing that this midi skirt is beyond comfortable. The front slit is also at a comfortable level that you'll enjoy and the wash of the skirt has that vintage feel you'll come to appreciate. Plus, this is actually Pistola's best selling denim skirt, so that should speak for itself too.
Want something edgy and feminine? Go for Banana Republic's dark wash denim midi skirt. It's designed in Italy, so you'll be getting a skirt that has amazing quality with all that European style we know and love.
I personally love the panel seams that are evenly placed on the skirt which creates an irresistible depth of dimension that makes me want to buy it. Also, there are lovely belt loops included so you can add a contrasting taupe or cream belt to it!
Maxi Denim Skirts
I love that this skirt has a classic feel that whispers sophistication. Now that I think about it, mini and midi denim skirts always needed a big sister, and this maxi has no problem taking that role on.
Wear it with a slightly oversized blazer and a pair of mules for that relaxed business casual look that can get through a day at the office. It's not recommended for people under 5'5" to wear maxi skirts, but a quick trip to a tailor can quickly debunk that idea! 😚
You still need a truly casual option when it comes to a maxi denim skirt — which is the perfect job for this little MANGO number. It has a true relaxed fit and wash that makes it easy for you to wear this on the days you don't have to clock into work.
Similar to the outfit above, all you need is a colorful tank top and pair of sandals you love to complete your lazy Friday OOTD.
Want to be stylish while you present your latest project at work? Slip into Madewell's carpenter maxi skirt that's all business and takes nice cue from the '70s.
You'll love strutting around in this silhouette and may even feel like it's your lucky skirt when you totally rock your work day.
This is a skirt that'll easily take you from frolicking outside during summer to having Halloween-themed date nights during fall. The mid wash feels like something you'll reach for during the last few weeks of August and even during October while the four pockets gives you plenty of space to put your lip oils in.
