How to Wear a Denim Skirt

With a slew of our favorite celebrities revisiting the once '90s staple, we're newly obsessed with our denim skirts again. While the trend first conjured images of Kelly Kapowski in an acid-wash mini, fresh iterations from the likes of A.P.C. (like the one we've styled right here), J.Crew, Current/Elliott, and more are putting a decidedly modern spin on the jean skirt. Couple that with the endless ways to outfit the look, courtesy of style setters like Olivia Palermo and Kirsten Dunst, and we've quickly embraced the resurgence of the denim skirt. Are you convinced to re-add the piece to your own closet? Tune in — our five ways to wear the denim skirt might just make you a believer. From date night to a transitional look perfect for the end of Summer, a denim skirt may just be one of the most practical purchases you make all season.

Olivia Palermo Revives the Denim Skirt With a Cool, Seasonal Spin

With Olivia Palermo behind the resurgence of the denim skirt, it might be safe to say that the '90s staple is making a comeback.

With Olivia Palermo behind the resurgence of the denim skirt, it might be safe to say that the '90s staple is making a comeback. The style pro outfitted a button-front jean skirt with a fresh Spring twist for an NYC film screening, adding an open-weave knit and a pair of woven heels. We love how she plays to the season's trends, styling the nostalgic skirt with a sportier top and pointed-toe pumps. With an embossed handbag and a few luxe-feeling jewels, Olivia completes the event-ready style with polish. Feeling inspired?

The New Denim Skirt

While jeans are the stuff of Americana legends, the denim skirt has not fared as well in the cultural lexicon.
While jeans are the stuff of Americana legends, the denim skirt has not fared as well in the cultural lexicon. Perma-tanned and perma-toned sorority girls and their ilk are the first thing that comes to mind when we are presented with a denim skirt. The ubiquitous mini is the most popular of the denim skirt family which means it is little wonder the fashion pack hasn't whipped out lavish praise for it. The classic Guess mini is so 90s oversexed that popping one on can do a girl no favors, it hasn't even achieved retro ironic status yet. And yet there are denim skirt alternatives lurking at the fringes of fashion. Fashionation is thoroughly convinced the garment is having a revival. The sexy but still long enough to be appropriate Mineral Wash Stretch Bull Denim Slim Skirt from American Apparel is a favorite of ours because of its cut and its blast from the past subtle acid wash treatment. We are also fond of this high waisted skirt from Charlotte Ronson. Its all still a little cute young urban girl by and large but then we suspect that a Marni loving 40 year old Art Director was never going to ask if the denim skirt was coming back or not. But for those of you still young enough we say make a beeline for the sale items and snag one today. Its perfect for August. For More Shoutouts Click Here
