24 Best Denim Skirts for Summer 2025, According to Style Editors

Spring 2025 is proving that the best denim skirts are a must-have in our closets. As a style editor (and a New Yorker), I can’t seem to escape them—they’re just as popular in the Glamour offices as they are among the downtown set. And with each decade we see a different silhouette or length that rises above the rest. This season, from the boho maxiskirts of the 1970s, to the high-waisted pencil skirts of the 1980s, to the micro minis of the early aughts, and more, we’re embracing the timeless wardrobe essential in all its forms. What’s more, we’ve seen celebrities like Taylor Swift style denim skirts effortlessly with a white flowy top, making a case for the versatile jean skirt.

Below are our favorite picks of the moment with tips on what to pair them with for the spring and summer.

How to style denim skirts

AccordionItemContainerButtonLargeChevron

Just as versatile as straight-leg denim, jean skirts are true capsule wardrobe essentials—and they’re beyond easy to style. When in doubt, go with whatever you’d normally wear with a pair of jeans, like a white T-shirt, minimalist jewelry, and ballet flats. Style midi and maxi lengths with a denim shirt or an asymmetrical top for the office or a dinner date; go with a jersey and slim sneakers for more casual outings. If you prefer a miniskirt, we suggest contrasting the flirty length with structured pieces, such as tailored blazers and sharp loafers. But honestly, there are no set rules—I’ve seen every length and styling choice at Fashion Week, and I think of the skirts as true blank slates.

Thanks to their popularity, retailers have given us an overabundance of denim skirts at every length and price point. So to help you find the right one—a pick that’s trendy enough, but will get you years of wear—I did a deep dive on the very best denim skirts the internet has to offer.

The best denim midiskirts

Embrace the long-skirt denim trend with elegant lines, flare, and dark wash. A denim skirt that hits perfectly at the mid-calf carries a refined style that no other iterations possess. Whether you opt for a button-front, swinging A-line, or a longer version of your favorite cutoff mini, make sure you have at least one denim midiskirt on hand this spring.

The best denim miniskirts

Though miniskirts might harken back to the 1960s, most think of the early aughts when the word denim is applied to the silhouette. Often in the form of a cutoff, a denim miniskirt allows you to keep it casual for the warmer weather, while feeling slightly more dressed up than you might in its Daisy Dukes alternative. Pair them with an oversized blazer and ballet flats, and you’ll be ready to step out for the day.

The best knee-length denim skirts

If you’re looking for an easy throw-on-and-go denim skirt that feels casual but a little more grown-up than a mini, the knee-length denim skirt is for you. For low-key days, opt for a classic craw-hem style, or dress it up with a 1980s-inspired pencil skirt when you want to turn a few more heads.

The best denim maxiskirts

The 1970s did it best with long, sweeping denim skirts, conjuring images of Woodstock and flower children to this day. Though the 2025 iteration has taken on a cleaner image, void of patches and natural distressing, the length is one of the fastest-growing denim skirt trends of the moment.

The best petite denim skirts

Those who have a little less natural height can attest that most skirts purchased are immediately dropped off at the tailor for hemming. With denim skirts, though, that perfect blue-jean hem is so hard to replicate. We have you covered with a selection of petite denim skirts that will fit you perfectly, right off the rack.
