The Denim Maxi Skirt Is Spring's Style Saviour
The easiest alternative to your beloved jeans, the denim skirt is perfect for warmer climes. We've scoured the internet to find the very best of the best
Now we know that once you've found the jeans you'll happily be buried in, it's quite hard to take them off – but this spring, the denim maxi skirt is here to tempt you out of the trousers.
Puddle-grazing skirts - the kind that once might have once had unfortunate 'you-don't-understand-me-mum' teenager associations - have become the wardrobe staple of influencers and editors alike this year, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down. Take ELLE UK's own Head of Social Amy Brewster who's been trotting her own Free People maxi denim skirt out on the near daily at ELLE HQ since picking it up in February. Pairing it with a white t-shirt and mules in the office and trainers on the weekend she says: 'Swapping in a denim maxi has made my daily uniform of jeans and a tank top look more put together with minimal effort.'
Ever since the denim skirt first materialised in the 1970s at the hands of people cutting up their old denim jeans, the wardrobe staple has evolved in numerous shapes, cuts and sizes. On the SS24 runways, there was a whole spectrum of styling inspiration, from Diesel's rebellious layers to Awake Mode's crafty patchwork. So whatever your new-season wardrobe is looking like, there's bound to be a denim maxi that slots seamlessly in. Here, see the skirts we'll be adding to our regular rotation this season.
