There's something about denim maxi skirts that street style authorities and designers just can't get enough of. Perhaps, it's the way they effortlessly elevate a simple white tee or work as the perfect date night piece thanks to its elongating powers. Regardless of the reason, we're obsessed.
Although the reign of the wardrobe staple began last spring with designers like Burberry, Balenciaga, and Maison Margiela dropping various iterations, fun fact, denim maxi skirts first emerged in the 1970s when people recycled their old jeans. They've since evolved in numerous shapes and sizes, including über high-waisted and overly-exposing ombre as seen on some of the industry's most powerful runways—Rick Owens, Y/Project, and Victoria Beckham.
Off the runway and red carpet, the denim skirt which has its roots in Y2K dressing has emerged as a hero piece for the spring and summer ahead and you will find it in everything from chic and formfitting pieces to dramatic, floor-grazing silhouettes and plenty of a-symmetrical styles. As they continue to reign in the fashion zeitgeist, we rounded up a few of our favorite styles and brands to shop this season.
