If you look in your wardrobe right now, you'll find at least one item of clothing that is made from the classic material: denim. Be that a jacket, a pair of jeans, a jumpsuit or a classic mini skirt. And one cult classic that has been around since the 60s and has made a massive comeback in the last year is that of the midi and maxi denim skirt.
A statement piece in itself own right, it can be dressed up, dressed down, be practical, be sexy, represent the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s - basically, it's pretty timeless and looks great (even if you double up on the denim). And we're not the only ones who think so as the likes of Frankie Bridge, Kate Hudson, J-Lo, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid, Nicky Hilton and Lily Allen (to name just a few) have all been spotted in one recently.
This autumn, denim skirts are set to continue being a big trend, with midi/maxi versions getting a lot of love. Just over the last week, searches on the internet for these gorgeous capsule items have skyrocketed, increasing by 129% (!!). And it's pretty clear to see why. As with jean trousers, these skirts are versatile and can work in the height of summer or the deepest of winter - with autumn on the horizon, you can pair a midi denim skirt with some saucy knee-high boots (no tights, let your legs breath a bit before winter comes) and a light jumper that can work both day and night.
With that in mind, if you're in the market for a midi, maxi, midaxi denim skirt that won't break the bank but still gives you that effortlessly stylish elegance, we've had a gander at some of the UK's best high street stores, finding just the thing - so you don't have to.
