As popular as they are, there are two types of people in this world; you're either a despiser or a respectful participant in the reprise of denim skirts. It's the alternative choice we turn to when jeans start to become a little too repetitive for our liking. A maxi denim skirt, for example, adds a maturity through its silhouette; making it the perfect staple when you just want to compliment a baby white tee or even a supple piece of knitwear. And where blue denim may be too indifferent for your liking, there's an array of iterations on the classic design, from variations in colour, lengths and textures. Just look at the resurgence of Y2K era – where the denim skirt has become a vessel to a multitude of styles through the accentuation of embellishments!

If we look back, we owe the re-emergence of the denim skirt to the runways of SS22 and pre-fall SS23, solidifying its place as a staple in most closets since. Burberry showcased a vision of the simplistic blue mid-tone denim in its pre-fall SS22 collection. To heighten the allure of this 1970s iconic classic, the deliberate choice was made to embrace an all-encompassing denim ensemble from top to bottom. A simple yet affective runway reminder to the intricate details and superior foundations of how indispensable, yet iconic, the ubiquitous denim skirt can be.

The options are endless, that's why we've comprised 10 of our favourite denim skirts we'll be wearing this summer, and perhaps into winter. Whether you're a lover of the maxi, midi or mini, there's a style for each season and style. Happy shopping!
