The Return of the Jean Skirt

 I'm so excited the jean skirt is in fashion again! About 10 years ago they were a major staple in my wardrobe and I've missed them! Since they were once very popular that means you can probably find them at any thrift store pretty easily! But, like all trends that come back around, the styling has changed slightly so let me help you get up to speed on how to rock the denim skirt in 2013!

Try a Full Denim Skirt:
-It can hit anywhere from just below the knee to several inches above the knee
-the fabric is lighter and thinner than traditional denim
-pair with a tucked in blouse or crop top; nothing that hangs below the waistline
-ankle boots, low heels or sandals are the best shoes to wear



Try the Denim Pencil Skirt
-must fit somewhat close to the body; not baggy
-looks extra cool when distressed
-looks great with a blouse and/or blazer
-should hit at the top of knee or just above
-pair with heels or wedges


A-line and Full Midi styles work as well:



More styling do's and don'ts:
-don't wear cowboy boots with any of these denim skirts! 
-don't go super short or super long with these denim skirts- it just look dated; sorry! 
-do pair with a blouse and/or blazer
-do channel the 70's
-don't wear denim with strong light to dark fadding
-do wear super distressed denim
-do pair with a tank and flat sandals for a casual summer day
 -do wear denim with denim!

  2. Hope black denim is ok - I have the perfect little Ralph Lauren black denim pencil skirt that hits just above my knees. Of course, found it at Goodwill.

  12. Excellent post. I just purchased a thrifted jean skirt the other day and am anxious to style it. Also, love the do's and don'ts. Very good advice. I find with jean skirts in particular it's very easy to look like a cowgirl. I am also doing a weekly Thrifty Thursday post. Would love it you could check out some of my great thrifty finds.
