Few pieces work harder in your wardrobe than a denim skirt. Whatever length you choose, they’re a year-round essential.
If you’re anything like us, you’ll have that one pair of jeans you can’t stop wearing; the ones you reach for without even thinking, no matter the occasion. But sometimes, even our most trusted jeans deserve a little rest, and that’s where a denim skirt comes in.
Denim skirts never really go out of style, but they’ve been enjoying a resurgence since 2022, when micro-minis made a comeback, and more recently, some of our favourite celebrities have been spotted wearing them in various lengths.
Sarah Jessica Parker has been pairing maxi denim skirts with slouchy knitwear, Bella Hadid has been sporting Western-inspired midis and Salma Hayek and Sasha Obama have been offering their own laid-back takes on the trend.

Maybe it’s our ongoing love affair with Y2K fashion or perhaps it’s simply because denim skirts are stylish, comfortable and practical all at once. Whatever silhouette you choose, they work with everything – think classic white T-shirts, cosy jumpers or even tailored shirts for a more polished look.
Plus, they’re perfect for the transitional weather. In winter, you can layer a midi-skirt with a chunky knit and boots; in summer, pair a mini-skirt with sandals.
If you’re ready to give your favourite jeans a break, why not try a denim skirt? Keep scrolling to see our top 10 picks to shop now.
River Island blue denim A-line maxi skirt
This River Island option is a perfect entry for those new to the denim skirt trend. The floor-skimming length makes it incredibly easy to style, taking the guesswork out of the equation compared to shorter silhouettes.
Mango flared denim skirt
Trust Mango to put a cool spin on a classic design. This denim skirt features a high waist and midi length, with flared detailing that adds subtle volume to your look. Keep styling minimal – a simple black shirt or fine-ribbed jumper tucked in will create a proportional silhouette.
M&S pure cotton denim maxi A-line skirt
M&S is known for its quality basics, and this skirt is no exception. With a timeless A-line silhouette, maxi length and soft blue denim, it’s a perfect choice for chilly days. Layer thermals and thick tights underneath – the long cut ensures you stay cosy while keeping your look sleek and stylish.
Simply Be mid blue patchwork fray denim maxi skirt
This denim maxi skirt from Simply Be is a key fashion find, thanks to the patchwork details which gives it a distressed feel. Pair with an oversized bomber jacket and ankle boots to balance out the bold asymmetrical design.
