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.
