Do you have a denim skirt? If you don’t, you should.
It isn’t always in fashion and it might lay in the bottom of the cupboard waiting…. but, sooner or later, will come back out!
The reason, of course, is that IT IS a really good “problem solver”!! Not as much as a pair of jeans, nevertheless, very good. I find it especially useful in the transitional seasons, when you are not sure whether you should wear a winter or a summer skirt. Denim is “seasonless”. Of course if the denim is light in colour or weight, it does need to be worn only in the summer. Not true the opposite, I think heavier or darker denim looks nice even when it’s hot and sunny! Providing you are actually able to wear it without melting….
It looks nice with or without tights, with a woollen jumper or with a cotton top. It looks nice with heels and with flats.
Denim is a great fabric, its thickness and toughness, helps to “hold in” bulks….
Don’t think only classic denim skirt, although it is always great, but lots of different styles:
There’s the pencil skirt:
- Dash Stitch Hem Denim Skirt
- Dash Denim pencil skirt
- PHILOSOPHY di A. F. Denim skirt
Also buttoned up at the front:
There’s the vintage skirt:
- white-fox-high-waist-denim-pencil-skirt
- mother-high-waisted-patchie-skirt
I do need to put some classic skirts:
- edc by Esprit Denim skirt – blue
- Violeta by Mango Denim Skirt, Dark Blue
- toast-denim-skirt
The “fun” skirt:
The A-line skirt:
- Zara
- Chicwish High-Rise A-Line Denim Skirt
- & Other Stories denim skirt
There’s also looser styles:
- Mads Nørgaard STELLY – Denim Skirt – blue
- TER ET BANTINE Denim skirt (front)
- TER ET BANTINE Denim skirt (back)
- Joules Mirella Skirt, Chambray
I have chosen against showing short, or shorter for that matter, styles. I don’t like them.
So, they are nice with just about anything. Yes. Well, I don’t really like denim with black. I used to, but it has been overdone, so I don’t like it anymore. Colours are going to make denim casual.
Depending on what you wear with it, you will make it more or less casual. I reckon it can be reasonably elegant too though. The shoes make quite a difference as well.
Jackets can be nice with this kind of skirt but, if you are going to wear a classic blazer, go extravagant with the shoes or jewellery at least.
Navy is always nice… if a bit classic.
- Tom Joule PARADE – Blazer – blue (detail)
- Liebeskind Blazer – blue
- Boden ANNABEL BLAZER
I like tweed too…a little more casual but again, it depends on the accessories.
- Uniqlo WOMEN Ines Soft Tweed Jacket
- Tom Joule PARADE – Blazer – olive
- Barbour Nutwell Blazer, Olive
What about a trench coat or a fabric biker?
- THE SANDRINGHAM – TRENCH COAT HERITAGE
- Massimo Dutti DOUBLE-BREASTED JACKET
Of course you don’t have to wear a jacket, you could just wear a shirt to make the outfit a little elegant.
- Massimo Dutti WASHED SHIRT WITH BOW
- Massimo Dutti SHIRT WITH SHOULDER DETAIL
- Massimo Dutti NAVY LOOSE TOP
Or more casual.
A sweater will definitely make it quite casual,love these fair isle ones…
- Boden HIGH JINKS JUMPER
- Eribè_ski_fairisle_chunky_pullover_houndtooth_charcoal
- Eribè-ski-fairisle-cardigan-fortune
Don’t forget to wear a belt if there are loops on the skirt.
Or even if there aren’t.
Shoes. Anything goes. Flats, brogues, heels, ankle boots. I don’t like under the knee boots, they look, I reckon, “common” with the denim skirt.
- Pretty ballerinas navy ballet pumps
- Pedro Miralles Boots – blue
- Marc O’Polo Boots – blue
I do like black for the shoes only.
- Högl Ankle boots – black
- Pretty ballerinas grey suede ballet pumps
- Peter Kaiser HAZULA – Lace-up heels – black
- Massimo Dutti leather and suede brogues
- Zign lace ups burgundy
