It’s fair to say that a pair of jeans read as casual and skirts have a dressier reputation. A denim midiskirt, however, can achieve a happy medium. With denim as the material, the garment will bring a sense of everyday ease to your look, and the knee- or ankle-length silhouette will lend some polish. Denim midi and maxis began making appearances in fall 2022’s runways from Dries Van Noten, Marni, Ami, and Khaite, and the trend hasn’t gone anywhere since. We’ve seen the ankle-skimming denim silhouette in spring 2023’s collections, from Altuzarra to Tibi. Meanwhile, the silhouette is popping up in the current fall 2023 collections at Marine Serre and Conner Ives. All the while, denim-focused labels such as Goldsign and Frame have also included the silhouette in their denim offerings this season.

Similar to a trusty pair of jeans, a jean skirt can also be dressed up and down and act as a strong and versatile base for any outfit. Pair one with a kitten heel pump or knee-high boot, for example, with a crisp button-up shirt or chunky knit on top, and so on. For even styling ideas, look to Vogue’s denim skirt outfits guide for more inspiration. Whichever route or denim wash you take—a classic blue or crisp white—a long jean skirt is a reliable way to channel this spring’s style.
