Denim is a mainstay in every wardrobe, whether you’re a jeans addict or prefer to wear it in jacket or skirt form. The latter has been prevalent among the style set over the past year or so—through all four seasons. That’s right, this is a rare trend that can work in almost all temperatures (with the exception of Sahara-level climes, perhaps).
Midi- and maxi-length denim skirts, in particular, have proved to be impressively versatile. I’ve seen them styled with knitwear, shirting, crop tops and ‘clashing’ or complementary denim jackets; they can be elevated with heels and a silky blouse for evenings out, or kept casual with a T-shirt and sneakers.
Several seasons into the denim skirt’s renaissance, plenty of high-street and high-end brands are still offering chic iterations. If you’re thinking of picking one up, you might be seeking some styling advice—specifically, guidance on how to wear this staple in cold weather. Presenting seven easy-to-replicate denim skirt outfits that are perfect for the remaining winter months.

Style Notes: Any outfit can be made appropriate for winter by throwing a longline coat over it. I love how Taffy has opted for a vibrant red knit to lift the whole look.

Style Notes: Denim is an intrinsically casual fabric, especially if you pair it with a loose-fitting jumper, but adding a heeled boot will smarten things up.
