Think denim skirts are best left in the 90s? These 5 fashion tips will make you change your mind.
Denim skirts were introduced in the 1970s and their popularity dwindled down in the 80s and the early 90s only to be reintroduced back into the fashion spotlight in 1996 revived by Marnie Bjornson. Denim skirts are made using similar material as the blue jeans. In design, the skirts may bear similar elements present on a pair of jeans like front fly, back and front pockets and belt loops.
Other denim skirts may be equipped with elastic waist, front button column and side/back closures just like other skirt styles. The length of the classic denim skirt varies from maxi, midi to mini with the shortest of hems a favorite amongst teens and young adults.
The denim skirt is considered a staple for the hotter seasons and is easy to team with many top styles as the denim washes are considered to be neutral. Just like jeans, blue denim skirts showcase versatility that they remain relevant year after year as basic wardrobe staple.
Wonder how to make denim skirts awesome again? To the fashion imagery below for our vital fashion tips:
Pare down the toughness of a denim skirt by teaming it with a feminine blouse rendered in subtle lace detailing. For the extra visual appeal, choose a denim skirt with front pocket details with the edges and hemline made aesthetically raggedy.
