Product of the week: the denim maxi skirt

What is it:

In the context of the 90’s revival, the denim midi skirt has also made a comeback. It can currently be seen almost everywhere, on the catwalks and in street style trends, in all fashion capitals. The denim midi skirt is naturally far ahead of the denim mini skirt that has defined the past few years. It ushers in a new era of comfortable fashion and offers an easy-care yet stylish addition to any wardrobe. Although the look is very specific, fashion houses have found ways to interpret the silhouette in their own way, offering variants with different details. For example with a button placket, side slit or cargo pockets.

Why you should order it:

The denim midi skirt is such a trans-seasonal garment that can be worn all year round. This is partly due to its length and partly to its material, which make it a cool option in summer and a warm option in winter. In addition, the garment can be classified in different styles and is often seen both as casual wear and as a relaxed look for the office. The different washes, cuts and styles it comes in also help it appeal to a wider audience, with people of all ages being drawn to this skirt form.

Where we’ve seen him before:

At Altuzarra, the denim maxi skirt has been given tassel elements that enhance the design and offer the possibility to customize the look according to taste. A similar look has been picked up by Givenchy, where the trend has been combined with military-inspired details, such as cargo-style bags and distressed denim. Other brands embraced the trend in more extreme, long shapes, as seen on the runways of Burberry, Luar and Masha Popova. They showed pieces that reached to the feet or even to the floor. Ulla Johnson showed an alternative version of the denim maxi skirt with an elastic waistband and tiers.

How to style it:

The denim maxi skirt can be worn in countless ways, making it a versatile piece of clothing that is suitable for almost any occasion. Pair the skirt with trainers and an oversized sweater or t-shirt for a simple everyday look. Stripes and patterns go well with this product, but you can also experiment with layering, such as wearing a turtleneck or collared shirt under a sweater to add a more formal touch to the outfit. If you want to mix and match the look for the office, style it with a button-down blouse and blazer. Jacket models that you can offer with this look range from bomber jackets to camel coats to matching denim jackets.
