Denim skirts have been trending for the past few years and it took me a bit to get into it but after seeing so many great styles I finally decided to give it a try. Denim skirts have always been a wardrobe classic but denim midi and maxi styles are particularly having a moment right now. And each season better options have come out and I am loving how versatile they are. It’s easy to style with so many different pieces in your closet because it’s denim first off. Everything goes with denim. Denim jeans, denim jacket, denim skirt – they are all closet staples. They can look great with classic pieces as well as trendy items so there is something for everyone.
I am sharing a round-up of denim skirt outfits that you can add to your wardrobe rotations or use as inspiration to style with pieces from your own closet. Lets start with two ways I’ve styled my own denim midi skirt both for summer and then for fall/winter.
7 Denim Skirt Outfit Ideas

Denim Midi Skirt + White Tank
This look is a simple go-to for me in the summer and has the same idea as wearing jeans with a white top. Effortless, classic and always in style. I personally love the denim midi skirts with a slit up the front as it makes them a bit more flattering and gives some shape to the skirt. I styled it with neutral accessories and some gold jewelry to finish off the look.

Denim Skirt Winter Outfit
I bought this denim skirt in the early summer and wore it a ton but wasn’t sure how to transition it to the colder months. I decided to opt for a simple black turtleneck and black knee high boots and LOVED the whole look. The front slit of the skirt is perfect for wearing with knee high boots because it allows the boots to show with only a bit of skin left. I personally would stick with knee high boots over ankle boots with a midi skirt because the length of the midi skirt can cut off the legs in a weird spot in relation to the height of the ankle boot. It creates a sleeker line with a knee high boot.

Denim Pencil Skirt + White Blouse
Styling a denim pencil skirt is very similar to styling a traditional pencil skirt. A classic white blouse and simple accessories will always be a great option. And don’t be afraid to go for black accessories though the outfit is lighter in tone. It creates a great contrast and gives the outfit more interest.

Denim Pencil Skirt Outfit Ideas
I definitely feel like you can create a more professional look with a denim midi skirt versus a denim mini skirt. If you work in a business casual or casual office, a denim midi skirt is a great alternative to wearing jeans. You still get the denim vibe but a bit more elevated because it’s a skirt. I love the idea of an all black outfit with a black denim skirt to keep things chic and elevated. Try to mix textures with your accessories such as a pair of suede knee high boots and a croc print bag.

Denim Maxi Skirt Outfit Ideas
Along with denim midi skirts trending right now, denim maxi skirts are everywhere as well. In the fall/winter, choose knee high boots to wear under the skirt but in the summer definitely go with something strappy or delicate as a nice contrast. I would avoid choose ankle boots for this look unless you are sure they will go under the skirt and not show any skin. Even that small bit of skin can make the outfit look more unbalanced and dated. Add some color with a striped cardigan and a pair of bold statement earrings will really complete the look.
Striped Tee | Denim Skirt | Sneakers | Bag | Sunglasses
Denim Mini Skirt Outfit Ideas
Denim mini skirts have been around since I was a kid and will always be a classic style. However, I definitely feel like keeping the entire outfit casual choosing either flats or sneakers with a mini skirt is the best option. Save your heels for a longer style skirt. Choose a simple tee and then add on some flair with a fun bag and trendy sunglasses.

What To Wear With a White Denim Skirt
If you are loving the denim skirt trend and want to take it up a notch, I love the idea of a white denim midi skirt as an alternative to standard blue. White looks so beautiful with gray so enhance that by going with all silver accessories. Since the cardigan and skirt are flat fabrics, add some texture with these beaded mesh flats and a suede bag.
How To Style a Denim Midi Skirt
Keep Things Simple
Don’t overcomplicate styling the outfit. A turtleneck or crewneck sweater, classic boots for the fall/winter or simple sandals for the spring/summer.
Choose a Slimmer Fit
The bulkier or more loose fitting the denim skirt, the more trendy it will look. Opt for a slim cut which always looks modern and timeless.
Midi Length is the Most Versatile
A length just at or slightly below the knee is the most versatile and easy to style.
