How to wear a long denim skirt this spring
Ah, the denim skirt. This iconic piece never fails to throw us back to the 90s when we’d always choose our favourite jean skirt for non-uniform days. But there are ways to wear the nostalgic style as an adult without looking like you’ve just finished school: here are five rules to ensure your look maintains your grown-up status whilst rocking the denim.
1. With an oversized jacket
This spring, denim skirts are all about edge. Pair your most ripped denim skirt with your largest jacket, a statement top, and colourful pair of heels. For those days where you finish work at 6 but have to be at the party by 7.

2. Wear it like a pair of jeans
Wearing the denim skirt as if it were a pair of your favourite jeans immediately makes the outfit effortless and at the same time classy. Throw on a simple top and a classic shoe, like a ballet flat or a white sneaker, and you’re good to go.

3. Wear it with a blazer
Pairing your denim skirt with a blazer is a foolproof way of taking it from school fashion to adult style. Take a page out of Emi Venturini’s book and go casual with a mini skirt and combat boots, or create the ultimate workwear style by going for a longer cut paired with heels and a baguette bag. Don’t forget to belt your blazer for a formal look, or wear it open for a chill day out.

4. Choose neutral-coloured garments
An easy way to wear a jean skirt without looking like a teenager? Combine it with neutral tones. Cream, beige and grey are all perfect: a round-neck sweater and a pair of low heels are enough to make it immediately refined.
