1) Western
Grab your denim maxi skirt and saddle up. This season, we’re all about embracing different pockets of aesthetics and there is no better fit than rocking the western trend with jeans. But rather than a literal interpretation, the key is to incorporate elements that have just a touch of cowgirl. Everything from a wide leather belt to rustic boots adds a southern charm to your trend-savvy denim skirt.

2) Double Waist
There’s nothing traditional about the double waist trend that has been gracing our social media feeds. This play on a denim skirt creates an illusion that the wearer is layering two bottoms over one another. The result is a fun take on a classic staple. The bottom alone is enough to make a statement but you can go the extra mile by layering further with a matching top for a full denim-on-denim moment.

3) Parisian Vibes
The denim skirt is so widely loved that even the fashion capital of the world is adapting this piece into everyday style. Add a Parisian-inspired twist to your bottom by elevating with luxe separates. For starters, Esther pairs a button up with a tweed jacket to add a touch of elegance to an otherwise casual outfit. A straw handbag and Parisian-approved sneakers further completes this timeless denim skirt look.

4) Think Tank
Speaking of necessities, another basic that has been heralded as an unsung wardrobe hero is the tank top. This year, designers across the board embraced this minimal racerback and it became a must-have piece. A simple tank top is an ideal match for styling with a denim maxi skirt. Both pieces are basic in style, acting as a blank canvas for eye-catching accessories. This influencer completes her look with layered necklaces and a pair of cap-toe, kitten heel pumps.

5) Y2K
2000’s era style is still going strong and a denim mini skirt plays right into this nostalgic trend. Just look to the cultural icons of the past such as Brittney Spears and Hilary Duffy. They proudly graced red carpets and industry events donning a cropped tee and a mini skirt. Now, you can channel your inner 90’s star by wearing the same. Aside from a denim skirt, a printed top, leather belt, and shoulder bag is all you need to nail the Y2K trend.

6) Business Casual
Casual Fridays just got a lot more stylish. If you are looking to revitalize your business casual wardrobe, a denim skirt just might be the answer to your prayers. It’s the ideal piece to dress down your tailored favorites. This influencer layers a tailored vest with an oversized blazer. Although chic on their own, the denim mini adds a relaxed vibe that is perfect for the busy gal always on the go.

7) Blanc
Although a classic blue wash is standard, a white denim skirt is a refreshing alternative. And what better way to play up this light neutral than with a monochromatic outfit. Emma sticks to the basics and styles her bottom with a simplistic white tank and black leather sandals. But to visually separate the top from the bottom, she accents her look with a black belt to pull the entire look together.

8) Coquette
Calling all soft girls and coquette lovers! The denim skirt can work in tandem with any hyper-feminine aesthetic. Its versatility allows it to effortlessly pair with corset-style tops, floral printed blouses, and more. To achieve the ultimate feminine vibes, take notes from this influencer’s coquette-inspired styling and pair your denim mini with knee-high tights and pink platform heels.

9) Sporty Spice
On the contrary, the denim skirt acts as an ideal basis for more androgynous leaning outfits. Case in point is Sofia’s sporty look centered around a baseball jersey. Every element has a unisex appeal from the cap down to the soccer sneakers. But in lieu of jeans, the skirt injects a bit more femininity into this laidback look. While she rocks a floor-length skirt, a mini would work just as well here.

You can easily mix-and-match all your favorite resortwear pieces with this one bottom from cropped tanks to bikini tops. The denim skirt can truly do it all!
