The Occasion

What is the occasion you are dressing for? Are you attending a day or nighttime event? Across the board, light denim is more casual than dark. On the other hand, distressed denim is playful while plain is thought of as polished and clean. The same goes for the hemline…

The Length

Another attribute to closely consider is the length. Are you dressing to kill, or for a
day at the fair? Simply put, length equals drama. Strut your stuff in a mini during brunch with the ladies. Conversely, stun at New York Fashion Week in a maxi length jean skirt!

The Takeaway

Although a jean skirt is a great alternative to your favorite jean pants, the length and occasion should sway your choice. For example, the look on display is what I refer to as feminine edgy. This style of dress is suitable during the day with flats and night with heels. Check back to see how I style this skirt for a day of festin’.

For the warm September days where long pants are not an option, your denim skirt will become a life saver. Whether it’s an aline button up (as seen here), a maxi, or a distressed mini, they will all have the same affect. I chose the latter for today’s post.

Now that you’re a proud owner of a denim skirt, how do you dress it? One way to do it is to layer. Consider topping sleeveless outerwear over your fall hues. In this look, I layered a faux fur vest over a sheer cropped top. The top kept me cool, while the vest added a nice autumn touch.

Another way to rock a jean skirt right now is to pair it with a lightweight top. In the featured look I styled a distressed mini with a surplice sweater. The cross front top has fall vibes all over it, while the skirt kept me nice and cool. I polished off the ensemble with a choker (if you do not yet own one, hop to it!) and lace up sandals. Lace ups are great transitional item because they’re an alternative to a closed toe bootie. Happy Tuesday!

According to Nancy Rooney, owner and buyer of Current Clothing, denim skirts were all over fashion market. Although I could hardly believe it when I got the “what’s trending report,” these jean bottoms really are popping up in all shapes and colors. While out and about over the weekend, I came across minis and midis, distressed and stonewashed, fitted and a-line jean skirts. Easy to style for year-round wear, I jumped at the chance to wear my button-front denim skirt from H&M, with a lightweight top, while the temperature remained moderate in San Francisco. Keeping it casual this time around, I tucked in a white shirt and rocked my go-to fringe booties. I accessorized the look with a brown hat, stone necklace, and fabulous flower earrings.

Just like your favorite pair of jean pants, think of all the different ways you could wear a jean skirt. Add one to your fall wardrobe and thank me later…and if it is the one pictured above, order one size up – it runs small.
