Remember that favorite long denim skirt you had back in college or in your twenties that you wore everywhere? This fall they are BACK in a big way. They can be found in dark, faded or colored denim, and some styles have seamed detailing or are pieced together with different fabrics for a 70’s vibe.
Denim midi skirts are so easy to style and can be worn almost anywhere. Throw on a cropped sweater and boots, or wear with a tee and a Moto jacket for a more edgy look.
