Not a Knee-Length—I've Spotted So Many Londoners Wear This Timeless Skirt Trend Instead
Summer's answer to jeans just landed. This is the timeless skirt trend the coolest dressers are wearing now.
Knee-length skirts might be dominating the conversation this summer, but after a few weeks of people-watching across London, I'm convinced that there's another skirt trend making its return. Whilst fashion people have happily embraced midi hemlines, the very chicest are also revisiting a classic.
The trend that caught my eye? The denim mini skirt. Putting it back on my radar, I spotted London style icon Alexa Chung swapping a knee-skimming style for a timeless dark-wash denim mini version. After spending the past few seasons on the sidelines, I'm calling this the summer the denim mini finally stages its comeback.
And if anyone can revive a trend, it's Alexa. Styling her dark-wash denim mini with a white button-down shirt and tall bow-embellished heels, she gave the classic piece a cool-girl feel. Evidently easy to dress up, it's just as wearable with a boxy T-shirt and strappy sandals or simple flip-flops.
As with all the best trends, fashion's pendulum always swings back around, and this summer seems to me like the moment the denim miniskirt returns. If you're ready to welcome it back too, keep scrolling to shop my edit of the best denim miniskirts of the season.
