Jennifer Lawrence and I Have a Thing for Denim Maxi Skirts

There are a surplus of spring trends that have taken over the fashion scene, including ballet flats, wide-leg trousers, and white tennis shoes. But one has recently risen to the top of my list: denim maxi skirts — and you’re about to see them everywhere.

Long jean skirts are nothing new, taking fashion inspo from the ‘90s (Rachel Greene, anyone?). Featuring a long hemline, various washes, and often a slit detail, this closet staple was made for everyone, no matter your age, style, or body type thanks to the separate’s effortless look, unrestricting fit, and timeless appeal. Not to mention, denim maxi skirts instantly spring-ify any ensemble, so you can usher in the season with ease.

Spring-Ready Denim Maxi Skirts

Celebrities seem to agree, with Jennifer Lawrence reaching for the Agolde Hilla frayed maxi skirt and Jennifer Lopez wearing a Coach version that’s since sold out — two Jennifers backing one trend? I’m sold! Other A-listers like Kerry Washington, Selena Gomez, Sofía Vergara, and Gisele Bündchen are also on board, making the versatile skirt as chic as ever.

Madewell Denim Mid-Rise Maxi Skirt

I was even inspired to give the trend a shot, opting for the Madewell Denim Mid-Rise Maxi Skirt, available in a vintage wash with a center-leg opening and front and back pockets. Sitting at my natural waistline, it provides all day comfort that I can feel good in, whether I’m sitting down for dinner or strolling around the block.

I took a casual approach and paired my skirt with a cropped baby tee, sleek sneakers, and a baseball cap for a day out in New York City. Further outfit ideas included an oversized sweater and chunky sneakers, as well as a tank, cardigan, and sandals. Essentially, I just swap my typical pair of jeans for this denim skirt — it’s that easy.

Levi’s offers a great option as well, combining key elements like a column silhouette, front slit, and button-fly closure. The washed-out look adds a cool-girl allure, while the sturdy 100 percent cotton construction will make it last for years to come. Shop the skirt in sizes 24 to 33.

Fashion2love A-Line Maxi Denim Skirt

For an elevated take on the trend, consider the Fashion2love dark blue denim skirt. The deep hue dresses the style up, while an A-line fit separates it from the pack. The spacious skirt provides room to move, a mid-rise waist, and functional pockets, though you won’t find an opening on this selection. Choose between 15 shades and sizes extra small to 3XL.
