A bit of history
The first denim skirts appeared more than half a century ago - in the 60s of the last century. They were not sewn specially, but they were altered from old, battered jeans, mostly men's. After some time, designers paid attention to these homemade products, and already in the 70s, denim skirts appeared in the collections of fashionable clothes from famous fashion designers.
In those days, denim skirts had a straight silhouette and a midi or mini length. The last option was chosen by the most advanced women of fashion to go dancing. Later, when “boiled” jeans became popular, the skirts began to digest along with jeans.
Fashionable styles
Today, denim skirts exist in many different variations: short, long, straight, flared, tight-fitting, torn, worn, etc. We invite you to meet some of the most interesting denim skirts.
Pencil
Pencil - a classic style skirt of medium length. Usually it is associated with a business style, but in the case of jeans it is rather casual. However, if you do not have a very strict dress code at work, then you can easily appear in the office in such a skirt.
The pencil skirt usually has a semi-fitting, slightly tapered silhouette and a length to the middle of the knee. It goes well with both business wardrobe items - shirts, blouses, turtlenecks, jackets, and casual clothes - T-shirts, tops, sweaters, etc.
The sun
The sun is a flared skirt that can be of any length. Its peculiarity is that it cuts out around a single piece of fabric, so when unfolded it looks like a sun disk.
The skirt-sun can be planted with gum or flirt. It is very easy to sew it yourself: for experienced craftswomen it takes no more than an hour. About how to make such a skirt with your own hands, you can read in our material “How to sew and with what to wear a skirt for the girl?”.
Due to the peculiarities of the material, the flared denim skirt perfectly keeps its shape - in order to keep the thing volume, special care is not required.

Denim tulips look more informal than the same models from other materials.But on the other hand, they are perfectly combined with clothes in a variety of styles, including sports. One of the most interesting options for a tulip skirt is a model with a smell.
Trapezium
Trapeze is one of the most popular types of skirts. This model is also called A-shaped. It is a short or medium length skirt with a slightly flared silhouette. Thus, the skirt does not fit the hips, but does not give them additional volume.
Today, trapezoidal skirts with high rise are very popular. The high waistline visually lengthens the legs and narrows the figure. That is why this style is suitable for plump and short girls.
However, the trapezium skirt is a good option for all types of figure, so we advise you to take a closer look at this model.
Length
The length of the skirt should be selected, based not only on the features of your body, but also on the type of event you are planning to attend. Denim skirts can be absolutely any length, and now we will tell you in detail about each of the options.
