Here’s how to style a jean skirt like the fashion pros this spring.
Perfect for the warmer days of late spring and early summer, classic denim miniskirts are the best alternative to shorts and always in style. If it’s still too cold for that, however, you can always add a pair of tights underneath. Either way, a denim mini’s simple and timeless design makes it compatible with any plans on the agenda. Going to a picnic in the park? Pair it with flip-flops and a woven bag for a laid-back, casual outfit. Heading to the office? Swap in a button-down shirt, leather belt, and heels or loafers instead.

If you’re going for a more elegant look, denim midiskirts are the perfect choice for the office or a date. Their mid-calf cut gives them a polished look, especially when paired with a light blouse, tall boots, and a pendant necklace that embraces the bohemian-chic trend. It’s the kind of classic outfit combo that works year-round.

Long denim skirts are gaining popularity for spring 2026 and can easily be accessorized to match your own personal style. They’re cool, they stand out, and they look great with heeled sandals for brunch, ballet flats at work, or sneakers for a day of shopping. If you’re going for more of a boho look, try a crocheted top and a wide-brim hat with your denim maxiskirt. Alternatively, the knit-vest trend is a great top option for the office.

For a modern (and a little bit sexier) look, a denim skirt with front or side slits is a fun and fresh option this season. You can combine yours with a neutral-colored bodysuit or tank top to let the skirt stand out, or with a floral print blouse for a more romantic look. Or try a blazer and boots combo if you’re headed to work.

Double denim is the most modern way to wear a suit this spring. To make this outfit idea feel distinctly 2026, look for a denim jacket with a sculptural silhouette and a skirt in a matching wash. Pretty kitten heels add the finishing touch.

A black or dark-wash denim skirt is the easiest way to dress up a denim outfit. Go for a date-night vibe with a fitted cardigan buttoned to let a little skin at the stomach show—a smart styling trick that’s so effective, you don’t need much more to complete the look. Just some slinky slingbacks or knee-high boots will do the trick.
