How to Style Denim Skirts

Author Sadie Ellis - 2 minute read

Denim skirts are making waves this season, offering a laid-back yet polished style that suits just about any occasion. Think easy elegance with a twist - whether you’re keeping things low-key or dressing up, there’s a denim skirt outfit for that.

  

WEEKEND EASE 

A classic white tee tucked into a denim skirt is a forever favourite. Throw on some white trainers or loafers for that effortless off-duty feel. For a bit of texture, layer with an oversized knit or slouchy cardigan. Think muted tones or earthy neutrals for a laid-back look that still feels put together. 

  

Prefer a pop of colour? Try a striped top or a graphic tee for some playful contrast. A crossbody bag and sunglasses seal the deal, making this the ultimate brunch-to-park look. 

  

POLISHED AND POISED

Denim skirts can be dressed up too. Tuck in a crisp button-down shirt and add sleek ankle boots for instant sophistication. A statement belt or structured handbag brings it all together. Darker washes lend themselves beautifully to evening plans — think silky blouses, bold jewellery, and a swipe of red lipstick. 

  

If the vibe is dressier, try a sleek black denim skirt with a tailored blazer. Heeled sandals or pointed flats add just the right amount of elevation without sacrificing comfort. 

  

LAYER IT UP

Transitional dressing never looked so good. A fitted turtleneck paired with a denim skirt and an oversized blazer is the definition of cool-weather chic. Layering is your friend, so add knee-high boots for a little extra warmth. Trench coats, tailored wool coats, or even leather jackets all play well with denim. 

  

For more texture, reach for a ribbed knit jumper or a cable-knit cardigan. The contrast of soft and structured fabrics creates a balanced, thoughtful look. 

  

SUMMER STATE OF MIND

On sunny days, lean into the laid-back feel of a denim skirt with a breezy cotton or linen top. Sleeveless blouses, oversized shirts, or simple crop tops keep things light and airy. Add espadrilles or strappy sandals and a woven tote to capture that relaxed holiday energy. 

  

For a playful nod to boho style, try pairing your denim with a floral-print blouse and layered necklaces. It’s an easy way to embrace summer’s carefree spirit. 

  

DOUBLE DENIM DONE RIGHT

The denim-on-denim look is having a major moment, and it’s all about contrast. Match a light-wash denim skirt with a darker denim jacket for a fresh take. Or reverse it, pairing a dark-wash skirt with a pale chambray shirt. A simple tank or crisp white tee underneath keeps things balanced. 

  

For an extra modern touch, choose denim with unique details like a raw hem or button-front style. Finish with trainers or chunky boots for an effortlessly cool aesthetic. 

  

THE FINISHING TOUCH

Accessories are your opportunity to make a denim skirt outfit your own. Cinch your waist with a statement belt or opt for delicate gold jewellery for subtle sparkle. A leather crossbody or a slouchy tote is the perfect final flourish. 

  

Feeling bold? A patterned scarf, oversized sunglasses, or a bright handbag brings just the right amount of flair. The beauty of denim skirts is that they play well with anything - it’s all about how you style them. 

  

From day to night, laid-back to dressed-up, denim skirts are the go-to piece of the moment. Experiment with textures, layers, and unexpected pairings to create looks that feel effortless and entirely your own.
