Farm Rio Lace Skirt

Umm, did someone say cottagecorebecause this definitely fits the aesthetic! It looks straight out of Pride and Prejudice with the stunning crochet and lace detailing. Since it's on sale (and Farm Rio hardly ever goes on sale), I think I'm going to have to grab this one myself for the ultimate Mamma Mia summer!

Mini Denim Skirts

Abrand Jeans Pleated Denim Mini Skirt

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.

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.

Levi's A-Line Button Front Mini Skirt

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.

Anthropologie Pilcro Denim Mini Skirt

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.

Hudson Reconstructed Skirt

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 Side Slit Skirt — Artist Divided

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.

Pistola Denim Alice Midi Skirt

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.

Plus, this is actually Pistola's best selling denim skirt, so that should speak for itself too.

Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt

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

NA-KD Slit Detailed Maxi Denim Skirt (Light Blue)

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! 😚

MANGO Long Denim Skirt

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.

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.

Talking to Vanity Fair for her newest film Lee, Kate Winslet revealed one project she wishes fans asked about more is Iris. The 2001 film stars Kate as a young Iris Murdoch against Judi Dench's older counterpart. And for Kate, nothing was more terrifying than working with such a wonderful actress.

"People don’t really ask me about Iris. It’s such a delicate film," she says. "It was the first thing I had done after having my daughter. Going to work with a baby, I’m playing Iris Murdoch, looking to Judi Dench’s older Iris Murdoch — I was sh—ting myself."

Considering how nervous I get when I meet my heroes, I can only imagine what it was like to meet Dame Judi Dench. Talk about a dream! Another film Kate loves is Revolutionary Road, and not just because she got to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"The thing that people say is, 'You got to work with Leo again.' Then they go off on the whole Leo tangent, which I totally understand," she says of the film, which follows an ambitious couple who find themselves trapped in the reality of 1950s suburbia. "But Revolutionary Road — f—king hell, it just knocked us all sideways. Unbelievably difficult material. I was very proud of that film and what Leo and I were able to create as Frank and April. It was so brutal."

The process for getting Lee into the world sounds equally brutal, considering Kate started working on it over a decade ago. As producer, Kate tells Vanity Fair she doesn't mind the fact she's done more for the film than if she only had an acting credit. "That has felt very necessary for this film. But it’s also just really important to me," she says. "It’s important to me that people know that it’s out there and might feel compelled to go and see it."

Because it turns out, commercial success or stardom on its own doesn't actually help your movie get made! "It doesn’t matter who you are," she says. "No one’s going to go, 'Oh, I’ll just back that pony because she was in Titanic.' It doesn’t happen that way, and I never expected that. That’s really important to say."

"I've gotten older and I’ve learned more and felt more confident in myself about whether or not I could actually do it," she adds. "It’s not something I would’ve done had I not felt so passionately about the subject, and Lee was just—she wouldn’t let me go."
