Denim skirt: Here are 5 ways to style this trendy must-have.
Denim skirts are one of the absolute classics in any wardrobe. They were everywhere, especially during the 2000s, often paired with chain belts and knee-high boots. That the look would make a comeback in 2025 came as a surprise to some, but for others, it was only a matter of time. Lace, pleats, and exciting embellishments add extra flair to this reinterpreted 2025 classic.
Still looking for inspiration to style a denim skirt in a modern way? While it used to be worn with pumps or Ugg boots, in 2025 style icons are opting more for classic loafers and biker boots with long maxi skirts. The denim skirt is versatile and arguably the most adaptable denim piece of the season. Below, VOGUE has compiled five styling ideas for you – ready to shop.
With these 5 styling ideas you will achieve the denim skirt look 2025#1 Pleated denim skirt + biker boots
The pleated denim skirt is taking over the street style scene, here combined with a denim jacket in a similar wash, knee-high boots, and slim sunglasses.
The pleated denim skirt is one of the most popular denim pieces of the season. This is especially evident when you look at the street styles from Copenhagen or London. You see it everywhere there right now, and for good reason. The look is easy to combine, whether for the office or a festival. Combined with chunky biker boots and simple silver jewelry, it creates a modern style contrast that gives the outfit a fresh feel.
#2 Maxi length denim skirt + tank top
This combination of a cropped top and a maxi-length denim skirt skilfully captures the style of the 2000s. The look is rounded out with a thin coat, black ankle boots, and a casual tote bag.
Does it always have to be a miniskirt ? No. Midi or maxi skirts are also ideal for a modern take on the denim skirt trend. The look is so popular in the VOGUE editorial department that Shopping Director Naomi Smart wears it almost daily. Her favorite style is from the now-defunct brand Raey. "The fashion revival of the 2000s ensured that the denim skirt found its way back into our wardrobes," she says.
#3 Short denim skirt + matching denim jacket
Double denim at Paris Fashion Week: The white blouse brings lightness to the look and creates a feminine contrast to the denim skirt and jacket in dark wash.
Stars like Bella Hadid love double denim and have been spotted wearing it on numerous occasions. Fashion icons also wowed at Paris Fashion Week recently in the iconic two-piece, also known as the Canadian tuxedo. Take inspiration from this and pair a denim skirt with a jacket in a similar wash. The key to this style is to choose the right cut to create a modern look.
#4 Grey denim skirt + loafers
You can still wear this look in fall 2025. The dark T-shirt with the gray miniskirt has a modern feel, while the loafers with a silver buckle are perfect for everyday wear.
The combination of a short denim skirt and loafers has never really lost its place in fashion. Especially now, when miniskirts are in season, this look works better than ever – casual and with a touch of nonchalance. And when the temperatures drop towards autumn, simply add sheer tights. Complete the outfit in the style of Miu Miu with loafers, which are best with a small heel or a wide sole.
#5 Midi-length denim skirt + football jersey
Summer 2025 is all about football, as evidenced by this outfit. The football jersey creates a contrasting style with the lace-trimmed denim skirt.
Whether new or vintage , a football jersey can do more than just look sporty. Paired with a midi-length denim skirt, it takes on a feminine touch without losing its casual appeal. Joy Montgomery described the denim midi skirt in British Vogue earlier this year as a timeless classic, and the street styles at fashion weeks have confirmed this repeatedly.
