While this probably isn’t the clothing item you would reach for when getting ready for an event on the fancier side, they are perfect for just about anything else – hanging with friends, going to school or work, heading to the beach, doing family stuff, etc. It’s good to have such a versatile casual item in your closet, especially one that is as easy as a denim skirt. I personally love to wear my own beloved skirt with slip-on sneakers and a cute tee or tank, but recently, I started wondering what else I could do with it. I found so many cute outfit ideas that I wanted to share them with you guys, because I’m a big supporter of this trend and I don’t want it to go away! So, if you want to pull off one of the season’s hottest items, here are a few ways to wear a denim skirt this summer. You’ll look a little retro in a good way.
1. Denim skirts are typically in darker shades, so pair yours with a bright top, like this yellow tank. It’s such an easy way to make a really cute outfit.
2. Pair your denim skirt with another huge trend of the moment – an off the shoulder top. The two combined create a laid-back chic look.
3. If you have a high-waisted denim skirt, wear it with a crop top. A pair of sneakers keeps this outfit super casual.
4. Another fun way to wear your denim skirt is to pair it with a top that’s a little less casual. The skirt can make something like a shirt with statement sleeves seem more low-maintenance.
5. Tuck in a white tee, put on some sneakers, and you’ve got an incredibly easy outfit right away. Add cute accessories like a headband and sunglasses.
6. You don’t have to stick with something basic – you can get a denim skirt with a pattern, or take it a step further and get a printed midi-length denim skirt.
7. Pair your denim skirt with a one-shoulder top for a seriously retro vibe.
8. Instead of sandals, wear your denim skirt with ankle boots to give it a little more edge.
9. Use your skirt like a swimsuit cover up – wear it to the beach over your bathing suit and throw on a loose shirt.
10. Sometimes all you need are the basics, like sandals and a cropped tank.
11. A cheeky graphic tee and lace-up flats are perfect for a casual outfit that still makes a statement.
12. Tuck in a loose tank to keep everything looking fitted, if you prefer that.
13. Instead of a tight mini skirt, choose a more full midi denim skirt. It’s a little more retro, but it’s so unique and fun.
14. If you want to get some layering in, tuck in a tank top, then loosely tie a button down shirt over it. This makes a comfortable and casual outfit that definitely isn’t boring.
15. Opt for something unexpected on your skirt, like a zipper going up the front.
16. Instead of your traditional denim color, wear a black denim skirt for something a little less girly.
17. Sew or iron on fun patches to show off your personality.
18. Show off your chic side by wearing your denim skirt with a fitted leather jacket.
19. A white denim skirt feels perfect for summer weather, especially when worn with flat sandals.
20. Add a cute blazer or fitted jacket to make your denim skirt come off as a little more professional.
