There’s really nothing new about this closet staple, but the tricks for pulling one off are a little different now from years past. Today, I’m sharing a few simple tips for styling denim skirts in a modern way, as well as a list of my favorites which you can shop below (most of which are on sale!)blue and white striped button down shirt with distressed denim skirt, Louis Vuitton St. Germain monogram bag dune leather, how to style a denim skirt

Dress it up or down

Wearing casual basics like a tee shirt or button-down with a denim skirt can keep it from looking dated. I was drawn to the edginess of this distressed style, which I paired with a tied-up shirt and mule wedges to match its laid-back vibe. For an office setting, a pencil or wrap skirt without rips can be dressed up with a blouse and sleek pumps. Dior 'Extase' oversized beige sunglasses, blue and white striped button down shirt, fashion blogger Rome ItalyLOFT blue and white striped button down, tied up shirt with denim skirt, how to wear a denim skirt, denim pencil skirt with mule wedges

Change with the seasons

Wear them with breezy tops now through summer, and when fall arrives, simply add a slouchy sweater or leather jacket–even both–for an effortless layered look.blue and white striped shirt tied at waist, tie-up button down with denim pencil skirt, how to wear a denim skirt with mules, what to wear with a denim skirtLouis Vuitton St. Germain bag dune leather, Sam Edelman Bonnie mule wedges, denim skirt with mule heels, what to wear with a denim pencil skirt

Choose the right footwear

Consider the type of skirt when deciding what shoes to wear. For pencil skirt styles, opt for pumps or lace-up heels to match the skirt’s sleek silhouette. Crisp white sneakers or Birkenstock-type sandals look street-style chic with an A-line mini. I especially love mules because they work with any type of denim skirt.
