We millennials have bought into our fair share of denim-skirt trends over the years, but we don't always embrace them when they cycle back around. But some are simply more timeless than others, including the style Karlie Kloss was just spotted wearing in NYC: a denim midi skirt with jeans-like details such as a zipper or button fly, belt loops, and pockets. It's the perfect skirt to swap jeans for when you want to wear denim but also want to dress your outfit up a bit.

Kloss, a very well-dressed millennial herself, paired her frayed-hem denim midi skirt with a ruffled button-down shirt layered under a preppy double-breasted blazer. She completed the look with a structured cream shoulder bag and brown suede ballet flats. Her outfit proves that if you pair a denim midi skirt with classic pieces, there's zero chance of it looking dated. Her outfit also might indicate that this particular skirt style is poised for a comeback. It's the perfect summer-to-fall piece, so the timing couldn't be better.
