We’re seeing a comeback of the denim skirt quickly coming into motion and we can’t blame everyone for wanting those ’90s throwback looks, especially after months of having trapped legs in multiple layers of long pants. Some people have already experienced the beginning of spring as early as March but unfortunately, there are still a lot of places getting snow this time of year.
Wherever you are, this selection of denim skirts should send you on the right track or at least get you excited for your spring and summer wardrobe.

One of the most popular types of denim skirts are usually also minis but this time, trends seem to expand literally and figuratively with knee-length and midi skirts coming around and hitting fashion shows and regular street styles.

UNRAVEL PROJECT Frayed denim maxi skirt
Price: US$530.00

This denim maxi skirt goes way back to the early history of denim skirts in the ’60s when jeans were repurposed as skirts by cutting open the inseams and sewing random triangular fabrics where the edges should join together to form a skirt.

REJINA PYO Bonnie belted denim midi skirt
Price: US$490.00
Buy It
The Bonnie midi skirt re-introduces a lot of elements that we haven’t seen designed like this before.

UNRAVEL PROJECT asymmetric denim midi skirt
Price: US$429.00
Buy It
Unravel Project likes to take us all out of our comfort zones. Common asymmetric hems still abide by fashion rules and most have the same neat and clean-cut quality of perfectly-aligned ones but this skirt is also largely about creativity. One side mimics the appearance of skirts while the other of jeans, and simultaneously, one is inside out while the other is the proper way. Make of it what you will but the printed quote on the reversed pocket speaks a clear advice about being a creative person in fashion or just in general.
