I'm Calling It—This Specific Skirt Is a Serious Trend

There's one item that's been consistently popping up on my Instagram feed and in street style photos, and it has officially grabbed my attention: the long denim skirt. Yes, maxi skirts have been trending this season, but denim ones specifically are having a serious moment. Most are high waisted, but mid- and low-rise styles are available too. There's something about them that gives off a '70s-inspired bohemian vibe, but you can also make them look modern and bring them into the year 2024 with sophisticated handbags, classic white button-down shirts, stylish high heels, or colorful accessories.

A long denim skirt happens to be a great transitional piece to add to your wardrobe, as it provides more leg coverage. Many also have a slit for extra airflow, and you can pair it with everything from tanks to sweaters, sneakers to boots. This skirt style was seen in recent runway shows from Altuzarra, Fendi, Ulla Johnson, and Marni, proving that it's here to stay—until next season at the very least. Here, I've rounded up seven long-denim-skirt outfit ideas to get you inspired and even more maxi and midi denim skirts that are definitely worth adding to your wardrobe. Your go-to jeans just might be replaced once you see them.

Long Denim Skirt + Sweater-Vest + Sandals

Wear your denim skirt with a striped tank or a lightweight ribbed knit and neutral sandals for summer days.

Button-Down Shirt + Long Denim Skirt + Heeled Mules

An oversize white button-down with a black clamshell bag and mules makes this one a very classic look.

Waistcoat + Denim Maxi Skirt + Retro Sneakers

For a sporty aesthetic, add some retro-looking sneakers with a waistcoat and equally sporty sunglasses.

Sweatshirt + Long Denim Maxi Skirt + Knee-High Boots

Give your skirt an eclectic vibe by combining it with embellished boots, a vintage sweatshirt, and a monogrammed bag.

Denim Jacket + Denim Maxi Skirt + Denim Boots

This is almost a Canadian tuxedo, but you swap out your jeans for a long denim skirt. Complement it with bright white sunglasses and a shoulder bag.

Leather Jacket + White T-Shirt + White Denim Maxi Skirt + Knee-High Boots

Don't be afraid to opt for a long denim skirt in a different wash, such as white, to have it stand out even more. Bonus points if you take a cue from the outfit above by keeping your color palette neutral.

Leather Jacket + Polo + Denim Maxi Skirt + Western Boots

Lean into the Western aesthetic of your denim skirt by styling it with other Americana-coded staples such as a polo top, cowboy boots, and a leather jacket.
