Take it to the max in these trending denim skirts & 12 ways to style them
Denim maxi skirts are pushing out the mini this Spring and Summer. Although it’s still OK to wear mini‘s and midis. This year the denim maxi skirt trend is leaning towards more fitted, streamline styles and hems that hit the floor. This silhouette is flattering on all body types and heights which I’m thankful for. As the more voluminous styles drown my 5’2″ frame. Whether you go for a classic style or something more on trend, these are the styles trending right now.

Are denim maxi dresses in style for 2023
Yes, maxi’s are even more in style for 2023 than denim mini skirts. All washes of long denim skirts are in from the lightest blue and distressed denim to the deepest indigo. However, if you’re going for a floor skimming style you might want to go for a darker wash to avoid permanently stained and grubby hems.
Dark Blue Denim Maxi Skirt
One of the best women’s denim maxi skirts for classic style and quality and this price point. Just add a crisp white crop top or t-shirt for a fresh, effortless look that’s flattering on everyone. I personally like this look with the navy Dior Dway slides for a coordinated and sophisticated look that doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard.

Mini or maxi? The best of both worlds
Can’t decide between a mini or a maxi? This best seller checks off both and is a great way for flaunting your legs. It also tends to be more flattering on us petite girls as it works better with our proportions and doesn’t cut us off at the ankles.

Comfortable Classic
If you don’t want a waddle skirt and like to have more freedom of movement this looser fit style is ideal. It’s a new release but the solid wash and classic cut means it’s a style that you can wear year after year.

These are the styles I’m eyeing this season. From the styles seen on the runways and fashion set to luxe for less alternatives. It doesn’t have to be blue, red denim maxi skirts were also seen on the fashionistas attending Spring 2023 fashion shows.
If you’re looking for one of the most popular brands for this trend it’s Khaite and Ganni. For something different, go for a patchwork maxi, asymmetrical waist or hemline, or different color style.
If you’re petite, consider trying a longer length midi which will probably work out as a maxi without the need for hemming! For a designer denim maxi skirt, Burberry’s floor skimming trumpet maxi is a total head turner and statement piece. For super long hems you might want to keep a stain remover stick handy!

A white tank and white pumps or sneakers with your maxi is a classic style that you can keep simple or is easy to change up with different belts, shoes and accessories.
